John McAfee speaks to us from inside a Faraday cage. At the height of the 2017 crypto bull run John made a wild Bitcoin price prediction and bet his manhood on it coming true. John is a renegade, he’s an outlaw, he may or may not be on the run from the US government and he has just launched a new decentralized exchange that he says will rival Binance in six months time.
Key takeaway:
A passionate Libertarian, John
seeks to free people from corrupt governments. His latest endeavour is the McAfee
Decentralized Exchange (DEX). A DEX cannot be shut down by
authorities. John believes that governments will continue to crack
down on the crypto ecosystem and to defend against this, it is
critical that a network of decentralized exchanges exist to enable
the free exchange of crypto assets.
Why you should listen:
John is a notorious prankster, trickster, and modern day pirate. That makes him a very entertaining interview subject. Listen as John explains why he is talking to us from a Faraday cage so that the authorities cannot track him. We discuss John’s wild Bitcoin price prediction, why he thinks the math says that Bitcoin hits 1 million by Dec 31, 2020, and why John believes this is a bet he can’t lose. Plus - John’s fascinating history working as a programmer at NASA, and on black projects at Lockheed, and we finish with the Crypto Conversation hot take round.
