He is getting 100k$ per tweet where he promote some shitcoin,dont really know how much is he asking for icos where he does more then 1 tweet.Dont really think that after all the stuff he did last months anyone takes him serious anymore...

He is hyping some cryptos and because of his influence many people can lose. Its like a bounty campaigns also,but he is popular already and he makes money about it. I remember that many ICO before that has a tag name " endorsed by John McAfee". But really, he has influence.

I also one of the follower of John Mc Afee in twitter, and he was promote many different coin and ICO. Before promote any ICO he should be know and understand fundamental of the project to avoid their follower loss money. John Mc Afee is good influencer that support blockchain technology and cryptocurrency and this is good for crypto market, because more influencer promote crypto, will be more demand for crypto as well.

Why did you trust McAfee in the first place? There are a few laws in crypto and one of them is doing your own research, so don't blame it on someone else if you did not do this properly

Ugh I'm guilty of listening to McAfee. I figured he was a name that could be trusted. I won't be making that mistake again anytime soon. Surprising though he would wreck his reputation in the crypto world for a few bucks.

John McAafee posted an ad about paid advertising of ICO projects! About $ 250,000. I think not all projects that he advertises are good!

Hi I'm KS03

This guy is not out giving his honest opinions. He is a paid shill that goes out and blurts out whatever gives him the most money. Remember when Floyd Mayweather was touting Centra. The best scams seem to have the biggest endorsers. Never listen to a personality on tv or the internet and take advice from them. May be better off doing the opposite.

Not at all, basically because I tend to ignore everything that he says, since he is obviously getting paid for promoting and not doing a bit of research. He is just burning everyone and I am very surprised for two reasons:
1 - He does not need it. He is sitting in a pile of cash as far as I know.
2- It no longer works. There is a limit to the number of times that you can burn people without loosing all credibility.

I thought everyone knew that these ICOs pay John to promote their coins on his pages to his millions of followers. At this point I am still surprised that there are people who are still basing their investment decisions on what John says. He is a fraud, he collects money from scam coins, help them get people to invest in their coin and in the end it is the investors who lose their money.

I suspect he received money to promote some shit and scam projects. People should just stay away from him to avoid stories that touch

Not surprising he is like bounty platforms take the money and make the campaign does not care if the project is scam or not. He takes the money and it is done.

people used to trust Mcafee when they thought he really believes in projects he promote,but once they realized it's only because of money ,he lost his creditability . try to stay away from anything this man promotes . real projects don't need celebrity promotion !

John Mcafee is a major influence in the crypto community. But he advertises ICOs really bad. And as far as I know, he will be paid a great deal for that advertisement. So now almost no one invests in the ICOs he advertises

I never disagree with this base on the past experience. He had caused so many guys damage through the ICO. He only promoted shit coins but I think once everyone knows they should carefully do their own research before deciding on investing

yeah but i think that nearly everybody knows that the these icos are just paying famous persons like mcafee in order to promote the ico. this just easy mones for him haha

Just like centra back then when they paid mayweather to promote the ico. an ICO promoted by famous person doesn't mean auto profit, instead, it can be catastrophic so just beware.
Use logic and not just merely emotion, don't invest because it's advertised by famous people but invest because you see a future in the project.

Most if you have money then you can hire celebrities to do it and this is against the rules of investing. I think if you are a real investor then you will not judge based on that criteria. Instead you will choose their development team or the way they work to develop the project, which will contribute to project development rather than hiring celebrities.

Docademic also collected not much. However, look what happened to the token price. Although Docademic looked better than KWHCoin and Finacoin. I'm more inclined to not trust his recommendations.

It's true, many of the ICO'S that he promoted are having bad results right now. He had one that is doing well though, called Docademic. This coin had a 15X increase in price compared to the Ico price.

I can add Eristica ICO (https://eristica.com/#advisors) to this list, Eristica was promoted by John Mcafee and Stan Larimer. ICO was finished half year ago and still no any news about token listing.
