In an apparent drug-induced stupor, McAfee rants to his Twitter audience.

Beginning with an admission of being drunk and, "probably tripping on acid. Or DMT. Or maybe an overdose of shrooms...", John McAfee goes on to follow a random Twitter follower, saying he believed his statement may have been a commandment from God. Following this, he expresses his frustration that the Verge currency was wrongly "pumped beyond reason by referencing fake Twitter accounts and Instagrams..."

McAfee goes on to express frustration that he is "diss'd" for pointing out the frauds he allegedly experienced due to hacks on his accounts.

Anyone following McAfee for the past few weeks has observed that his statements have had an extreme influence on the value of cryptocurrencies, most significantly with the currency, Verge. The currency increased in value more than 1000% when McAfee declared it to be the best buy in cryptocurrency. This was exacerbated by further speculation due to what turned out to be fake McAfee accounts, saying Verge could be valued at $15 in the near future.

Verge is reputed to be releasing a key update "by the end of 2017" called the Wraith Protocol. This update would enable a choice between private and public transactions on its blockchain with the "flip of a switch" - a first in the industry. Millions of dollars have been poured into the currency in the hopes that this currency will indeed implement this feature by the end of this year.

Today, we witnessed billions of dollars being poured into the "banker's cryptocurrency", Ripple. If Verge does indeed release this Wraith Protocol successfully, we could see traders pouring profits from Ripple into Verge. It could be one of the most dramatic moments in the history of cryptocurrency. Or, if it does not launch successfully, it could turn out to be the greatest cryptocurrency flop ever.
