Topic: John McAfee Pump & Dump Group - page 11. (Read 3663 times)
i dont like the fact that john is encouraging pump and dumb. its not health for the crypto market.
To those of you that have been getting his tweets and then immediately buying the coin on an exchange, are most of you profiting? For example say he tweets a coin that is 5 cents. I mean when you go buy it, does it automatically move so fast to say 8 cents already or not?
The other thing is my thoughts would be how about immediately buy the coin when he tweets it... say buy 1000 dollars worth. Then watch the price go up. Then say the price doubles... you keep watching but the moment it starts dropping... you immediately sell. Or you set a goal such as okay buy 1000 dollars worth... once it goes up 50 or 100 percent, you immediately sell it no matter what to lock in the profit. Thoughts on that? So if this coin does go all the way down, well you locked in your profit by selling it back immediately. Or of course if you held it and it goes higher etc... well you missed out but you locked in your profit. Surely ppl do this?
Does anyone here think he will recommend a coin that isn't under 1 dollar? Every coin he recommend is basically cents etc.

As what others said,he is just doing it to trap small fishes,and to pump his holdings he is just using his fame for more money.
This thread should be deleted. He doesn't ever tell anyone to sell off, and most of them quadruple in price after he mentions it and stays that way. The only real downside I could see is if you can't sell at the peak after he promotes a coin. Of course I trade positionally so I like it if he mentions one I'm sitting on, then I can find another one to wait for him to mention. Always set your trade triggers.
He is a manipulator that take advantages of his fame to fool a lot of small fishes,dont swim to his tides or you will get rekt.
People need an extreme caution when they about to join the pump and dump group because it's too risky, the people chasing it will have a bigger possibility of losses. Although indirectly Mcafee is kind of creating the group because many people see him have a good vision in term of technology, so many people follow him.
This will end at some time guys, you all are following this guy but at some point he will clearly stop doing this shit, you all know that maybe you can join that pump, but then you can easily lose if you are a dumb one or if you do not know how it works.
All that pump stuff seems to be a financical pyramid and it's literally is what it seems. I don't know why people are following that kind of pump but it's just a trap.
Hello guys, I don’t about this group.
But, I entered in a free discord group that manage pumps and dumps.
There are looking for members now, the goal is achieve 5k member for the next pump, that will happen in less than 3 days.

yes, there must be a group service for him, no one can predict the maret and i dont think he has such a strong influence on cryptos, he choose a little market cap coin and some one manipulated it
lol @op. Don't go chasing his tweets. Chances are you'll be too slow and the exchange too laggy thus you'll lose.
Yep, what happened to Verge...locked up after he announced his enthusiasm.....but you killed if you had some and a wallet and
moved guick
he is pumping the humaniq token now thru ETH network...that is up like 70% now...
sheesh, Trump as President and John McCaffe as Guru...we are all frigging doomed! (little green men, need a ride off this planet!)

have a buddy that was mining Verge on a whim..and in the last month made a cool million bucks move to BTC on it
at the height ..good move in that it is down like 20% plus today (xmas day)
he still has a mess of it..HAS to pay tax on such but still 1/2 million in BTC after taxes is not too shabby...
.anyway, sometimes it is just luck (or John McCafee pumping a coin you hold on a whim) and money drops from the sky!
(somehow I missed out on him mentioning this long shot coin....Verge....alas..another boat missed)
(I got a fleet of missed boats)

There are only few people who really make profits. Rest will lose money.
Where winners exists, there are also losers.
So true, so you should be vigilant and aware of them. We are here to make money and to have profits. Just saying but it's true. There are only few people who really make profits. Rest will lose money.

Don't believe this pump and dump groups.Also McAfee losing his value and just being as a pumper.There are rumors that he is taking commission and pumping coins and there is a video to prove his conversation on social media. I don't believe this guy anymore
I believe and have been noticing that the tactic of pump and dump might be profitable for some, it really hurts a lot of serious investors who believe in a project and are the real supporters, the holders. Became a market maker and rip off some newbies is a strategy that the market maker is using to get more form the naive followers.
Imagine that I have loads of money, influence and pump a coin and dump it, every sheep will follow making a panic sell, what the sheep don´t know is that I am savvy investor that just dumped only half of my portfolio in that specific coin and created a fud to low its price and all the "foollowers" go in and dump their coins at a very low price, soon enough I am buying at one fifth of the original price, change my tone a month (time) from now and make the price rise, all the fools now are buying raising the price and making me 10 times richer.
Warren Buffet wisely said that the stock market is the place where the money is transferred from the impatient to the patient.

Didn't even try to buy, just went to see what happens. Price was already coming down when finally got in about 8 minutes after his tweet. Many people lost their money today. He should stop this, it doesn't do any good for crypto.
And btw, by joining P&D goups, you risk your account on exchanges and your money in it. Atleast Bittrex has said that they'll ban all those who are participating in these. Think twice before going in.
That's an additional point. Don't try to time pumps and stay away from them. It could mean your account get closed. McAfee is just doing it for its own purpose. He doesn't care about the coin at all. He prepares his pumps. You can't unless you know what he is thinking
Great.Bittrex just died after his tweet.
But there still was a green line on the way to the moon after millisecond after McAfee's tweet...
Screw this.

When it comes to investing in crypto currency the best thing is do your own research about the project and the dev team. Just because someone famous is supporting the project does not make it one. It is extremely easy in crypto currency world to manipulate investors mind and rob them of their money as it is still an unregulated market. I foresee that with rise of such incidents, crypto currency markets will soon invite regulations from authorities and am not really sure if that will be a good or bad thing for crypto investors.
Although I appreciate what John McAfee could help us when he tweets about a certain coin or token, it doesn't mean that it's perfect. Look at Electroneum. He tweeted it and pumped a bit. However, it didn't pump up to the highest level yet.
For now, it stays between $0.07 to $0.10 per ETN after McAfee tweeted about that. Don't just rely on him when it comes to pump and dump.
