John McAfee and HitBTC Crypto Beefing over Docademic (MTC) Token Dealings

HitBTC Answers Back: “Get Well Soon John!”

The cryptocurrency exchange HitBTC has answered John McAfee after giving negative comments about the platform. Back on June the 28th, McAfee said on Twitter that HitBTC has increased suffering for millions of poor people who cannot afford the minimum buy-in at the exchange. After saying that he called the community to boycott it.

The company tweeted a picture saying:

“Get well soon John! Your friends at HitBTC.”

This is of course all in relationship to HitBTC and their Docademic (MTC) token dealings in which John McAfee is a big promoter of their platform and project. Referring to the trade limit for MTC specifically, or the high withdrawal fees but is mainly due to people with stuck coins on the exchange and will not get the airdrops. Because HitBTC crypto trading platform has the highest trading volume of all MTC coins, this is what started the beef between McAfee and HitBTC.

Yes I am an investor in Docademic. I invested as soon as I saw their groundbreaking system. But I do not need their money. I invested to help Docademic. HitBTCs unethical tactics cost me and everyone money. Would you not be irate?

Later, McAfee wrote another tweet saying that he will be their worst enemy if the platform is not aligned with the community. But the interesting thing here is that HitBTC answered back.

But of course, they did not mention anything about the fees they have at the exchange, the comments made by John McAfee or anything else related to the accusations made by the crypto expert.

I fired the first shot in the war that must be fought. Our exchanges are connected to our banks and our governments. To take down the entire system, we must first take down our exchanges. Distributed exchanges are coming. I have singled out @hitbtc becase they are the worst.

John McAfee has been in the virtual currency space for a very long time and has been giving advice about specific cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. He even claimed that Bitcoin will reach $1 million dollars in just a few years.

HitBTC is now the 9th most important cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume in the last 24 hours, handling $238 million dollars. The main trading pairs at the exchange are BTC/USDT, BCH/BTC, ETH/BTC and XRP/BTC, accounting for over 50% of the total trading volume of the platform.

The exchange has more than 700 trading pairs available and seems to not want to let this go as they just responded to John with this tweet:

Thank you very much @officialmcafee for being the voice of the crypto community and raising this important problem. pic.twitter.com/IgyeZShF2S
