I’ve been reading about John Mcafee lately and I’m starting to wonder how many bitcoin he had. And if those coins are now considered lost. Any of you ever dig into this?
I first heard of McAfee when I was a weeeee little boy and he had created the hottest McAfee virus scanner tool. He used to have a BBS where I could even call in and download at 2400 baud (high speed back then!) Generations later, I heard something about him being a crypto pusher and... jail time. But I had lost interest since and haven't paid attention.
Yes I'm sure his wallet is abandoned on the block chain. You don't spend a good portion of your life educating people about crypto without holding some yourself. I partially hate the man because I blame him for creating the viruses that his "anti virus" software was suppose to block. In fact my computer ran better without it being installed at all. Oh and Macafee didn't kill himself...
He predicted back years ago that bitcoin was going to 500k by 2020, I remember the headlines he was making....
Same here, once I figured out McAfee was the problem I'd delete it on every new Windows install. What else do you know runs scare campaigns amongst sheeple in order to get recruits? Both Windows and McAfee have been such disasters, it has been a boon for Linux, Android, Apple.
