Over the past day McAfee was able to draw a huge amount of attention from the technology and business press onto his social media profiles by making some very bold statements regarding Google and Bitcoin .

First he called the online search monopoly a creepy privacy eroding monster as well as a threat to human dignity, and promised to destroy it with a new project.

Then McAfee riled everyone in the online cryptocurrency scene up by predicting that the price of Bitcoin will move above half a million USD in three years. He even backed up this statement with an incredible show of bravado, almost irresistible for clickbait-hungry journalists.

Once he had all the eyes of the cryptocurrency community on him, McAfee started promoting a new token very modestly called McAfee Coin (MCF).

Interestingly, the sale of this token will be just one of two separate ICOs planned for supporting McAfeeXL - an accelerator and venture capital fund meant to help hackers build proprietary Blockchain - and AI-based systems in China.
