The ever-eccentric John McAfee has taken things a step further than
he usually does – if that were possible – publicising his latest
coin endorsement by having it tattooed to his back.

I got a Skycoin ( skycoin.net ) tattoo today. My tech folks
will stitch a two minute video together that should capture
the essence of the experience. For now, this short clip
should summarize. Why Skycoin? If you have to ask, you've
been living in a fucking closet.

It is not the first time that the controversial figure has performed
an unusual marketing stunt to draw attention to a cryptocurrency-
based project.
In June of 2018, McAfee, former founder of the world’s first
antivirus software and a former NASA computer programmer,
announced his intention to run as a candidate for the President of
the United States – with a gun nestled by his midriff whilst
advocating use of blockchain polling app ClearPoll.
Skycoin Proposition
Skycoin is a project that is setting out to create a P2P network
grafted as a new layer on top of the existing internet.
Through its custom hardware which acts as service nodes across its
network, the SkyCoin project claims that it will be able to offer a
scalable, censorship-resistant alternative to the internet which
respects the privacy of its users.
The project team’s hope is that, eventually, through mass adoption,
the Skycoin network will be able to entirely supplant the existing
internet with Skycoin becoming the internet’s de-facto native
currency.
Skycoin is currently trading at just over $3.04, having risen 8%
over the last twenty-four hours, most likely a result of McAfee’s
publicity stunt.
