Hi Ivan, I like that you post the news but would still be more interested in your, and other’s, view on said news.
Personally, I feel that as long as there is a clear statement attached to any promotion that says that the promoter is paid to promote, I don’t have a lot of issues with it (which isn’t the case in McAfee’s tweets), he should reference each tweet to the terms and conditions under which he shills.

To me, McAfee has literally zero credibility left and from my point of view does a lot more harm than good to the cryptocommunity.
