McAfee has promoted many undeserving projects and I believe that it is no longer very credible because he has no hesitation in putting off its promise after a day. Having said that, I agree with some of the things he said, such as the fact that privacy coins are thought and it will be difficult to stop them. I have chosen some projects that make privacy their long-term strength, so if there are stringent regulations their price should increase.
Most of them are microcap projects like DeepOnion, Cloak and Spectre. I'm following even Tangram, a private DAG, they seems really badass!



Can't agree more to this, McAfee has such huge impact, especially for cryptocurrency projects. Promoting by him makes the project swings in value. I agree that privacy coins you mentioned here cant be stopped.

For a long time, I have not had a proper sympathy with McAfee for predicting and promoting ICOs. He had predicted that the exchange rate would rise to $ 1 million by 2020 unless he would bite his penis. And now he says he will not work with ICOs anymore, which will help the cryptos market avoid a lot of exchange rate instability.

personally, I think if He just made it for his security no more, no less and it is true that SEC threats are doing their things from him.
He's earned a million dollars with the ICO promotion he's done so far. So let's wait for what's going on next.

It is true, nobody having enough money would risk his reputation or getting in troubles with SEC from promotion. But I think such people would be also interested in market, so let's wait what he will do next.

ICO projects with the support of celebrities like him will be known. He is an influential person, I think this is not good for ICO

“Revolutionising Marketing and Loyalty”
Well.. This is somewhat good.  And the reason for this I suppose would be Becsuse of regulation that is coming to cryptocurrency.  Many people that promote scam project will be sued and possibly prosecuted in regulated market.

I appreciate this. I do not like the market trend being affected by his words. It is good for him not to promote the ICO.

Buy, sell and store real cryptocurrencies
John McAfee is one of the cryto-celebrity nowadays, as we saw few months ago. John McAfee keep promoting some ICO before and have also personal analysis about different coins before.
Now, based on his tweet: https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1008957156819914752

He will not promote anymore because of SEC threats.

For my own opinion, it is good. Because it will avoid pump and dump, and the decentralization feature of cryptocurrency will remain, no one can manipulate or control the price of each coin.

Any ideas guys? It is better decision? What are your thoughts?


I have always believed that John McAfee is being paid for some of his Twitter activities. Jumbing onboard any token without deep checks and research. To him, every ICO will moon and have been misleading some people. This will stop unnecessary pump and dumps in the crypto space.
We can now make right decisions without any paid tweets.

He had a right direction, the scam ICO project is now a lot. If he continues to promote ICO projects, he will soon go to jail for a number of unreliable ICO projects. I think the SEC is working very well because ICO projects need to be strictly monitored. Investors will feel secure and invest.

It is even better he quits the game because he is nothing but a king of pump and dump, a lot of people have lost their money because of his calling and the worst is that he is been paid for those calling, meaning they will buy a ton of coins and call it out and dump on people.

This is good news. For the time been, the shillings and the hype will seize and the news worthy quality project will get proper attention they deserve. I think shillers and pumpers does nothing good for cryptocurrency ecosystem.

never liked the idea of mcafee promoting some ICO's in return of money, I would only invest and give trust to someone promoting such project for free. If money is involved i care less so mcafee is not a lost, and thankfully pump and dump will be lessen.

I'm glad he did, of course, he want to save himself because some of these are scam project, and of course, he already made a lot of money and he wants to exist but I wonder what is this alternative he is mentioning not another investment scheme or mlm.

Voices like that are hard to shut down. Like he said, he will return with a different solution. Estimations in crypto anyway defy logic due to its volatile unpredictability, so i think this shouldnt really be a setback to anyone.

it has a huge effect in the crypto world, john mcafee is a huge name that everyone knows. but I think, it is just for now, because, most the the ico's that is being promoted turned out to be scam.

Most of the ICOs he promoted turned out to be either scams or failures and a lot of people lost their money invested in them. If the SEC takes any action against McAfee, then I am going to support them. And don't forget the fact that this guy initially opposed the concept of crypto-currency before making an u-turn.

Indonesian Translator, #1 Quality is prioritized.
I think it is such a sad thing. Most of the ICOs he promoted always succeed and makes investors gained a lot of profit afterward. I've never invested any of my money into his promoted ICOs though (which I still regret to this day). Don't forget that this market is fueled by hype, regardless the project is good or not, the only thing that matters is the money. And John McAfee, he knows what he's doing, and he also knows how to make those people put money into his words. Actually, in my opinion, it would be better if he can still shill those ICOs.
