Well we have all seen what making predictions can do to the price of a coin if you have a large amount of followers. We have seen Verge rise to new hieghts, just based off of one of John MacAfee's tweets. Sadly predictions are starting to become a little bit cumbersome and in some cases down right annoying. Unfortunately, unless a coin is able to realize and sustain growth organically - whether that be through good leadership or a strong road map, they in the long-run will be nothing more then pump and dump scams facilitated by the whales and their bots.
Sadly as the crypto market continues to climax in 2018, more and more "dumb-money" will enter the crypto-space, and rather than doing their own due-diligence, they will depend on people like and John Mcafee to guide them. Unfortunately the greed of these people will see no bonds. Rather than being content with the millions of dollars they have already made to date, the will continue to thrive on misleading and betraying people. They will prey on the weak like it is some type of sick game. That is why we as a community have to move away from this methodology of depending on others to guides us and become leaders ourselves. Otherwise we will all just be pigs for the slaughter and I hear that John MacAfee really likes his bacon.
