Almost all projects that John McAfee hyped are down in value up to their death door already, I'm not saying it's John's fault but yeah he sure got his reputation ruined already, my advice for newbies is to have interest more in the use case of projects not those hyping the project
Yes, it's better to choose a project that has a real use case, rather than trusting the project recommended by John McAfee, because in general and in real terms, people's interest in a product is certainly due to the actual use of not just or limited prediction there is no real result.
