i'd say he sped up mass adaption by being a familiar face on the tv speaking of something that a lot of people knew nothing about.
the same way any other familiar face will make any other product more familiar to the consumer market.
i have no particular feelings towards him, other than thinking he's fucking hysterical at times, but i can appreciate that maybe he got a few people into crypto that otherwise wouldn't have known of it.
If there are more people like John McCaffie, then this is very good. Cryptocurrency world needs such desperate guys. They speed up adoption of cryptocurrencies.
in what way did john mcafee speed up the mass adoption process of bitcoincurrency? Please give some examples. For the general public he just proved its an immature markets runned by pirates.
