Several days ago,
technology pioneer and crypto advocate John McAfee departed his own
privacy-focused asset, Ghost. He has since clarified, however, that he
did not leave the endeavor entirely.
"I have not abandoned the
Ghost privacy ecosystem, only the GHOST privacy coin," McAfee told
Cointelegraph in an email following his exit. "The ecosystem is centered
on our Ghost cell phone service," he explained, noting that the service
will continue.
McAfee seemingly left
the endeavor in a huff on Aug. 19, stating "I am abandoning the the
Ghost project" His tweet cited inept management and forecast the
project's doom.
McAfee explained to Cointelegraph:
"The
Ghost coin project was led by Josh Case. He is involved in multiple
projects - Clearpoll - a blockchain based polling system, Ethershift,
Ethershare and other irrelevant projects. When I demanded that he
abandon them and focus on GHOST he refused. I finally gave up and
abandoned it."
As the end of 2020 grows near, time
dwindles on McAfee's Bitcoin bet — leaving the tech guru with an
unpleasant consequence if the asset does not reach $1 million per coin
by Dec. 31, 2021. McAfee, however, recently claimed he never actually thought the asset could reach $1 million.
