John McAfee an internet security guru is a huge influencer when it comes to crypto currencies, on numerous occasions showing his passion by making bets that bitcoin will reach 1 million. And to show how serious he is he is betting his member on it.
Recently I came across his twitter profile where he started "Coin of the day Tweets" which seems to have outrageous effect on the markets.
On the 22nd of December he posted about Burst coin an old project that suffered some malicious attacks recently and was almost killed off before resurrected by a crowd called "Burst Nation".
Burst nation are actively maintaining the project and work with some developers to improve the technology.
Let's go back to John McAfee and his influence. 1 minute after his tweet Burst coin was up 80%. It's been growing steady over the last 24 hours reaching all time highs.
As I am writing this the price is up almost 500% only 30 hours after the Tweet has gone live.
This morning another Coin of the day was announced "DigiByte"
Post went live around 13:00 which is exact time huge buy orders were posted.
It seems John McAfee definitely is a powerful force in the crypto space. I believe many see it as an opportunity to pump and dump others might see potential in the technology that has not had it's break yet.
Which ever side you are on, one thing is certain. If you follow John McAfee on Twitter this Christmas you can make a lot of money.
