McAfee can be paid to do anything. It has been mentioned before that he offers altcoin endorsement services or crypto related retweets/tweets for monetary rewards, so anything that comes out of his mouth can and most probably is sponsored content that can't be trusted.

I'm not saying that BTCP doesn't have a future, it probably does, and prices can climb during a bull market. But McAfee in my opinion is simply not a good source of info.

Also personally I'm still holding my XMR simply because I don't like fork coins, and BTCP doesn't have the community or reputation that XMR has.
