RE: John McAfee Supports Anonymous Trading Platform.
although McAfee is a joke in crypto industry, but he got the point this time.

He's a security pioneer; that's certainly not a joke.
Exchanges could really use more aid from security experts like him.
He's a paid pump and dumper. He pumps ico's (mostly shitcoins) for money on his twitter account to noobs that don't know any better. Whatever he says is not trustworthy anymore.
That doesn't mean he's not a security expert. He knows a lot about security. But his investment advice is very very bad. That doesn't surprise me when you take the fact into account he lost his fortune in the 2008 crisis. With this crypto bear market he made the same mistake.
Irrespective of how you feel, you admit that he is a security expert.
He makes a valid point on how data isn't secure with CEX.
I think he failed in life by not managing the risks properly, something we all should take a lesson from. Mcaffee antivirus was a successful company but they went down in 2008 financial crisis. It's not that their product was not good but mismanagement caused his fortune to go down.
That doesn't mean he's not a good security expert. I respect him for that but i wouldn't consult him for business decisions. I feel like he's a permabull. Someone who calls the moon all the time and hodl in a crisis. I rather make money on the downside instead of losing.
I'll correct you on a major point. It didn't go down in the '08 crisis as only a couple years later it sold for nearly $8 billion.
Anyways, this piece is on his concern for the amount of private data in the hands of CEX. That's a genuine concern.
McAfee is a joke, you're right, but he's still using Ether. It's DOA. At least he's getting people to think about it.
You've got that right.
He simply chooses the projects he likes and supports the ones he would like to use.
