I did this interview on May 27, 2016, and at only three minutes, it remains one of my favorites of all time.
News2Share's Ford Fischer asks John McAfee, then a Libertarian presidential candidate and renowned computer scientist, what the internet has taught him about liberty. McAfee explains that the internet has revealed, "Two possible diverging paths: one, the infinite power of the human mind, magnified to this day. Two, the infinite horror of the dark side of humans."
Fischer goes on to ask McAfee about his vice presidential pick, Judd Weiss, and the new ad released by him telling its viewers to "kill politics." McAfee defines politics as "those practices and procedures needed to gain power in government and retain power in government."
"Can you think of a more horrifying concept?" he asked.
The interview concluded as a campaign staffer directed him to a New York Times interview, which he refused.
"I don't talk to the New York Times," he told the reporter. "They trashed me three and a half years ago."
Since his presidential run, McAfee has led MGTI, a company working in cryptocurrency mining and digital security.

He originally ran on the "Cyber Party" ticket which garnered only him, then switched to Libertarian Party where he finished third place for the nomination.

John McAffy seems like a nice person to me. It is sad that you dont hear about simple people like him, running for American presidency on the media. Because it is impossible for simple straightforward people to be successful in American politics. The people that come to power are demon-possessed illuminati puppets. Hilary, Bush, Clinton and Obama were not normal people.
Democracy is a hoax.

Dudee John Macafee is psychoo. Look up the netflix docu about him. He took over a entire island about 5 years ago. He hired an army on the island to take it. He hired hookers to shit in his mouth because he liked that. And on top of that he murderd his neighbour and moved back to the US. He moved to the US so he wouldn't be convicted for this!
This is all truee look it up!

Now THAT is how you hold a grudge!!!
When i got in the cryptocurrencies world was my first contact with this man and i must say, even though he has his flaws, he speaks some truth in there, especially the part about politics and virus.
Also, i love that he has all te tells of cocaine withdral, the amount of times he touches his nose ahaha, but hey i respect him a lot, even though he consumes drugs and pays hookers with bitcoins, at least he is using them for something instead of hodling
