the guy is particularly popular and knows how to catch your attention when writing something.

He left his McAfee Antivirus in '94 and supported BTC (and cryptos in general) in early stages so we could
consider him both an expert and an investor in this field. For sure he has a lot to gain when citing various coins
he holds so, if you can take advantage of his tweets in a fast way, it is a good thing to do Grin

It seems that he is very active and kind of giving frequent signals, but apart from the effective antivirus, is there any particular reason to believe that his views are any better than others? I am just asking, as I have not bothered to research much Tongue

Probably because he has lots of followers, the more follower he has the more people will invest in coins he claims that are going up which will actually cause coins to go up. It is simple as that and I don't see any other reason why he is so great speculator.

Buy, sell and store real cryptocurrencies

IMO, the coins he tweeted usually pump and dump. It is better not to take part.

nope, Mcafee just has a great number followers that will market buy anything he mentions because he said so, like xvg,trx rdd or any other coins.

I have never seen an accurate prediction by McAfee worth mentioning or at least crypto related. I don't know what this guy has been doing all his life since he created the anti-virus empire... probably nothing but being on a perpetual vacation, now he comes back with crypto to stay relevant, will support anything as long as you pay him. He is similar to Jeff Berwick and all these guys that will pump anything on their Youtube channels for a nice sum, wouldn't trust these guys at all. They don't care about crypto and what it means, they just want more $$$.

He's broke. Google it. He sold McAfee in 2010 and has since lost over 100 million. Now he's shilling cryptos and using his status to recover some of his lost fortune.

he is a multi millionaire and security expert thus people give value to his comments on the coins but there are some claims that he demand for 25 btc and 15% of supply of coin for giving any status about the coin.... you should make your research before investing in any coin

That is a little bit of my point really. I think he is just cashing out his name and by doing so he is burning a reputation that has been earned through many years making recommendations on crappy coins and good stuff alike.

Although I don't pay attention to him much, but those claims were based on photoshopped pictures of his chats (fake discussions with coin devs interested in his services)! They weren't legit.

Not all of his recommendation is 100% real, some of them is used to pump and dump altcoins. If those coin he recommend is a good investment then he must be hired as their adviser. It is also easy to say that his tweeter account got hacked. I would believe him if he do it on youtube.

Before his giving the "coin of the day" then it was changed to "coin of the week". He's a well known programmer and the owner of the famous anti virus. And he's the one that even said bitcoin will reach $500,000 or else he will eat his own member if he fails with that prediction and suddenly he changed it too $1,000,000. He's one of the supporter of the crypto's and I like his attraction to other investors but sometimes his words aren't accurate.

If you want to know a success story with bitcoin then yes he is a good source of information but if you mainly want to know about bitcoin self i would say just use this forum to get your answer on all your questions.

McAfee is the person who was keep on supporting bitcoin from begining day i have seen lots of videos he was giving positive speech about bitcoin where all big people was giving bad critics . His vision winning now he is taking his part to discuss about altcoin . its really good move. Atleast his tweet about each alt gives profit for traders.

Since people are supporting McAfee (which is a multimillionaire man), he can give out informations about which coin is good at a certain period and people will very much believe it, which will cause a wide pump and dump. So I think it is a reliable source on which coin will worth more than its original price but you need to be early with getting these informations from him.

the guy may have his own interests when giving advice. He may say coin X is really good, because he wants to pump it and dump. With millions at stake here for him, can you really trust anyone to give you investment advice?

He is very active, but it doesn't mean anything.

This guy is always promoting altcoins, shit-altcoins, all those who he has on his portfolio, and probably that is the only reason of why he has been pumping all those crappy coins.

I dont know, i would never use him as good source of information, no offense, but he is being paid for doing that.

His info just pushes the value up for a period then the coin itself will always come back to its real value based on what is serves. After what he did on XVG, I dont trust him anymore. His speculations are good for short term trading though as the pump up price
