Crypto-enthusiast and tech entrepreneur, John McAfee, today confirmed in a series of tweets that he is heavily invested in the Safe Exchange Coin.

To the surprise of many in the community, after weeks of concern with Safex being delisted from Bittrex, the tweets have injected a renewed focus and much needed attention to the coin.

We’re currently trying to secure an interview with McAfee to get his thoughts about Safex and his predictions for the future.

Yes, my apologies. I received over a hundred angry DMs because I did not include SAFEX. It felt like a co-ordinated troll attack. Please .. I’m an old man whose memory lags his typing skills. Yes .. SAFEX Is great and an incredible buy at 0.15. Now, please, leave me in peace.

In fact, I own more SAFEX than Bitcoin. So. Trust me, I was not trying to dis SAFEX. An excellent coin. It just did not come to mind as I searched my memory for the older and more established privacy coins. Or maybe I just didn’t want anyone horning in on my secrets:)

Disclaimer: SAFEX is the majority of my holdings. I ran numbers for weeks before I chose it – knowing it had technical problems and that it would be delisted from most exchanges. But I have, to my knowledge, never lost money on an investment. But take this with a grain if salt.

Indeed. But $3 000 will biy 300,000 SAFEX Coins. That's already an obscene amount and way beyond greedy if my prediction is correct. That's iver 100 million dollars.
