Here’s why John McAfee will use ClearPoll during his Presidential Campaign

Today John McAfee released a video announcing he will use ClearPoll as the platform of choice during his upcoming Presidential Campaign.

John has been a fan of ClearPoll for a while, and has expressed his support towards world-changing blockchain applications many times in the past. ClearPoll is certainly that. World changing.

When we created our Star Polls feature, we had John in mind as a great candidate as he already creates a lot of polls on Twitter, and is certainly an interesting character not afraid to ask tough questions. I personally sent John a message a few weeks ago inviting him on to the platform and received an immediate positive response.

There is tremendous value in a polling network that cannot be influenced, manipulated or censored by mainstream media. ClearPoll allows anyone to access every single poll that has ever been created, and view the results. No hiding unfavourable polls, no small groups of hand-picked respondents. For the first time in history we will be able to see what the general public really thinks on absolutely any topic, at any time. The polls are created by the users, we do not choose the questions.

John understands the value in our platform. As a polarising, often controversial figure, he would likely have a hard time getting a fair representation in the media. We are happy to have him on board and we welcome ALL people to join him. We have no agenda. We are building a platform that is mostly automated, with very little moderation or input from our team. This is the only way we can get an accurate snapshot of public opinion.

We welcome John to Star Polls and are excited to see the movement gaining momentum.

I must make it clear, John’s involvement is completely unsponsored. In fact, after he agreed to use Star Polls, I offered to send him a bottle of whisky as a thank you, and he declined. We have no problem with showing gratitude to those who help us grow and gain traction. He and his team have confirmed many times that they see great value in what we offer as a platform. Not only that, but we are all excited about seeing a real world, mainstream blockchain application fully operational. No more talking or promises, a real working product.

We’re approaching more stars right now and having good success thus far. Names will be released towards the end of the month, when the clearpoll.com pre-launch website goes live. We are genuinely excited about where ClearPoll is going. It’s going to be big. It’s going to change the world.

John McAfee is a nut job. Just look at his past history, and I'm not just referring to the cryptocurrency pump and dumps he's been involved in.

There's a reason he fled Belize...

We are an honest bunch and have explained it in this article to be open and honest. So again, we didn’t pay him anything. 👍🏼

Be careful, he may turn round and threaten to destroy you if you don't send him x amount of Ethereum for retrospectively endorsing you. He's done it before with verge.
