John McAfee Unveils Ghost Coin to Mixed Reactions

This time, he’s gone from inventing software to inventing a new kind of cryptocurrency he’s dubbed Ghost Coin, and already the currency seems to be garnering mainstream attention from companies like Disney. While the asset appears to be garnering heavy attention, it has already – in typical John McAfee fashion – struck a controversial chord with many members of the digital currency arena.

The currency’s whitepaper has allegedly copied portions of the paper behind PIVX, a separate privacy coin. While McAfee, himself, has purportedly admitted that portions of the whitepaper were lifted to potentially write the one behind Ghost Coin, other executives argue that this is not true.
