With the reappearance of Golden Dog, what story are the popular VINE and Ainti telling?

Author: Luke, Mars Finance

Today, the blockchain has brought forth another golden dog, with a combined market value of $70 million. First, the late ‘father of antivirus software’ John McAfee’s X account suddenly ‘resurrected’, with a tweet promoting the Ainti token stirring up the market. Janice, his widow, claimed that this is a product that ‘continues her late husband’s ideals’, and the token’s market value soared to $70 million in just four hours. Almost at the same time, the founder of the long-dormant short video pioneer Vine, Rus Yusupov, launched a VINECOIN. Elon Musk’s ambiguous statement of ‘considering restarting Vine’ caused the token’s market value to exceed $200 million within seven hours of its launch.

These two seemingly unrelated extravaganzas share the same underlying logic: using the name of the deceased and nostalgia to feed the speculative hunger of the cryptocurrency market. The real key to unlocking the Pandora’s box may be hidden in the power vortex of Washington.

1. McAfee’s “Cyber Calling”

John McAfee’s estate is undergoing a bizarre ‘digital reincarnation.’ Widow Janice Elizabeth McAfee promoted the Ainti token through the late husband’s X account, with a market value skyrocketing to $28.7 million in three hours, claiming to ‘continue McAfee’s pursuit of freedom and privacy.’ However, this ‘commemorative event’ was soon scrutinized by netizens under a microscope.

Crypto community user @cometcalls found that Janice used the American spelling of “honor” in her tweet instead of the British spelling “ho”.
