I would like to hear your thoughts on John Mcafee. Do you respect him and do you believe he has done more harm or good for the crypto world?

John McAfee likes to do a show. He has achieved success in his life, but that does not mean that he can be an authority in every field of economy or life.
The cryptocurrency market is unpredictable, so his ideas about the price of $100k for Bitcoin in 2020 are taken simply from the crystal ball. I hope this will happen, but in my opinion it is unlikely.

He is indeed a showman and living from that. Of course he is going to make absurd claims to go viral, that is precisely why. I don't really pay attention to any of his claims, its not worth the time. There is people like Andreas Antonopoulos whose speeches are far more important to the community.

McAfee doesn't harm the crypto world, if anything he harms himself. He basically says good things from whoever sponsors him to talk.

But in the late 80ies and early 90ies, the MSDOS world got rid computer viruses thanks to him, and that's the only good point i give him. I don't even care who he sold that company to, by the time it became a windows product it was garbage anyway.

And whatever happened to his life in Belize, is enough drama for someone whom i barely pay any attention.

Yeah since he was accused of murder I kind of avoid reading about him.

I hope that nobody believes in these charges of murder! He is crazy, but not stupid. Probably it was another of his shows. He needs money, so he wants to remind about himself to the world in a new way. More people was talking about him, so he was able to earn more by fake pumping shitcoins.
