Is this another joke?
While few of the people are happy with the new privacy coin but many of them wonder if this is another joke or publicity stunt.
Last year, John announced that he was hired as an advisor by a China-based cryptocurrency project Zombie Coin to write his white paper. He also shared that he accepted money for the same. He further informed that he accepts money in exchanges for promoting cryptocurrencies.
