Well any government has its own political power and influence use to make money or even control some resources, and so they consider crypto as one source that can be a means of economic financial stability. that is why they are looking into it, and sometimes attempt but they fail to do so and they cannot because crypto has its way of making it grow outside government or any parties controlled and it was created to be like that and so they say crypto is the last hope for financial freedom

McAfee is just like Elon Musk who tried to convince people that they are crypto supporters but they are doing that only for their own financial advantage.

McAfee tweet is definitely true for crypto but since he has destroyed  his credibility before, so this tweet might only come out to lure the innocent minds of people particularly newbies.

McAfee encouraged people to invest in scam projects, while Elon Musk encouraged investment in a meme coin. That is the difference. And while those who listened to McAfee lost all of their money, those who invested in Dogecoin are still in a good amount of profit. Proof exists to show that McAfee received monetary benefits in return for his promotion of scams, while it is difficult to prove that Elon benefitted in some way from his promotion of Dogecoin. The summary is that, we can't yet compare Elon with McAfee.

Well although bitcoin is really profitable or useful to us still we cannot call it our last hope since we have so many commodities that we can use for to gain. Maybe we shouldn't rely on crypto only since remember this is not supported by government yet and many changes will happen if those legal authorities will not convince that crypto is good for their financial system.

Also we should stop listening to Mcaffee since for sure he just want to hype up and want to earn money again.

I do sort of agree with him but I also do not agree with the "last" part, otherwise he is right. I mean when you look at it there is a big chance that this could be the hope for us to get rid of the financial doom that is waiting for everyone, look at the world economical powers and how it is working right now for the majority of the population, because how terrible it is right now this way it is totally understandable that people could move to bitcoin in a way to get away from the crooked fiat world and that part I agree with.
The part I do not accept is the "last" hope, humanity has seen terrible stuff before and there have been a ton of bad stuff and in the end we still survived, I am sure we will still find a way to get our financial independence one day.
In this world and in this reality, there is no absolute independence, including financial independence. The same new-found multi-billionaires with hundreds of billions of capital behind them, still depend on the absolute majority of ordinary people who buy their goods and services. These people become poorer, so that these few percent of the population become even richer. Just any normal state with varying degrees of success exists to somehow limit the level of influence of the super-rich and try to smooth out at least a little social inequality and social injustice. Therefore, it is necessary not to talk about speculative financial independence, but to talk about how to more fairly build financial relationships between different citizens, as well as between citizens and the state. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can help in this, but you do not need to declare them a panacea.

Lately, we haven't noticed many tweets from John McAfee about crypto. But seems he is waking up recently and making tweets about crypto. But didn't made tweets about predictions nor promote any specific coin. He retweeted his 3 years back video ("The looming war on the horizon") where he talked and predict about governments and crypto war and he believes the war has begun. And seems he is supporting crypto in this war and saying- "Crypto is our last hope for financial independence".

I am not a fan of John McAfee's predictions but seems his predictions about the governments and crypto war something potential. Once we see a potential move in Bitcoin price then the negative step came out from China government. Those who believe in decentralization then should agree with what said John McAfee about financial independence, crypto is the last hope.  What do you think?
Wait, wasn't this guy thrown into jail or something? Is he still trending? Wasn't he supposed to eat his own pecker live on national TV? He kept on making bullshit predictions and then keeps on backing out from his bets. We could have trusted him if he actually munched on his tool. Kinda feels like he was trying to gain attention or just create a random hype or something. Would trust anything that comes out of his mouth.

Why would you give any credit to a man who had earned millions, turned into a conspiracy theorist and managed to fritter it all away until he was getting chased out of South American countries on weird cult-like charges. Once you get to that level of rich you become financially independent but cannot lecture the average person who has a completely different lifestyle. He has taken too many drugs and his mind is so warped that he will write any old rubbish to gain more followers. Even using the phrase "war" in this context is over alarmist and only designed to rile people up which gains him more clicks.

Well, American prisons are notorious for contrabands so there's no surprise there since almost anything can be smuggled in the prison. Pretty sure he has a lot of money left and connections to keep him more than afloat. The Tweet about bitcoin being the last hope is a pretty bold claim for my taste but it is a welcoming one since it implies that bitcoin is doing something great.

All it takes is one or two corrupt prison wardens out of hundreds in any state or federal prison. And McAfee has a lot of cash in hand to bribe them. Estimates are that he swindled hundreds of millions of USD worth of funds during 2016-18, by promoting various scam projects. And most of that money is parked in various offshore tax havens and the authorities don't have much success in recovering them so far. Unless he is moved to some ADX prison, he will continue to have access to various contraband.

McAfee is still in Spanish prison fighting against extradition to United States, and they confiscated everything he has in fiat currencies but they can't confiscate all of his Bitcoin and cryptos.
He may be a crazy man who was not paying his taxes but there is some truth in things he was saying for years.

I would prefer that you keep your mouth shut. He had his golden opportunity back in 2016, and came off as a loudmouth. Not to mention his subsequent arrest and all the shady dealings he had to deal with:

...he was going to eat his dick on national TV if Bitcoin didn't reach $500K by the end of 2020. A bit afterwards he upped the bet and said 1 million. He openly acknowledged using drugs and prostitutes, but that is only what he acknowledged. At least there were allegations of him being linked to bribery, underage prostitution, rape, and murder.

I prefer to listen to Saylor or Keiser. Not that I trust them 100% either but they certainly give a much better image than he does. Or Andreas, who speaks from a more technical and educational perspective.

There is a lot of positive and negative things Including what John McAfee said that crypto is our last hope.It seems like we work on this platform and sometimes depends on it and in the other hand many people doing Hard work with country field or any other business and if i clear that people have nowadays two or three profession.So in that situation we can not say crypto is our last hope but instead of how can people and government accept crypto currency and lots of people join in this feld so in that case this can be our last hope.

I'm also reasoning in such way too that cryptocurrency is a last hope. Many people are not investing in crypto yet they are making it big in their different field. I think I agree that it covers a large area of hope for the youth especially investing in bitcoin and few other altccoins like ethereum. There are other fields like estate investment that people are making good money, forex I heard is profiting for some. So MCAFEE making such post may have leaving out some area of lucrative fields of life.

McAfee sure has a lot of free time for tweeting in prison but I don't believe him when se said that he lost everything from lawsuits and that he feels from free than ever. Smiley
I do however agree with him that we the people are in war with system and governments.

I am not a fan of John McAfee's predictions but I agree with his tweets. I think that happens today but the war happens a long time ago without we realize. But we do not have to worry because if bitcoin is not too strong, bitcoin will not survive until today and we will not see bitcoin can reach the highest price or new ATH before. Bitcoin will be buried in the bottom without any chance to increase, but we see that bitcoin can rise after many times got bad news. That does not make bitcoin crash, but even if the price crash, the price can back to the high price and make many people amazed.

Seems like he is capable of talking some sense when not delusionally putting out insane price targets on BTC.

I'll give credit where credit is due - sure, he stirred up an immense controversy in relation to his predictions of BTC hitting $1 million by the end of 2020 or whatnot (and probably drove away some potential institutional investors by his arrogance and his claim to represent the crypto community), but what he said here is absolutely true.

Decentralised cryptos are the only refuge in a time of chaos and continued push towards greater centralisation. And if you don't hold BTC as a regular part of your portfolio then you are leaving yourself exposed to an imminent collapse of the fiat world order.

So ScamAfee is back in the game huh but now we got Elon Musk taking over his position as one of the biggest crypto 'troll' in twitter. Yep you read that right, both of them just feels like a troll that manipulated the crypto market for their own benefit. It took him a while, he and Elon should both shill Doge every day until it hits $10 lol

I am not a fan of John McAfee's predictions but seems his predictions about the governments and crypto war something potential.

We have been through this over and over again. Its always China against Crypto and some other countries that followed the same step. He didnt predict anything, he was just stating an obvious facts

Those who believe in decentralization then should agree with what said John McAfee about financial independence, crypto is the last hope.  What do you think?

Im not sure what he meant with that but cryptocurrency was always meant for that purposes isnt it?

Is he trying to win back the communitie's heart and believe into him back? I wont be surprised that in next day they would really be saying the opposite.  Cheesy

The next day then expect that there would be some words and they are starting out to make their own words once again and McAfee is starting out on being tactful.

But he actually had the point because if we do talk about financial independence then crypto is really our last hope and for sure majority would really be agreeing on that.

I do not think it is the last hope in the sense that even if this market failed there is always the chance of another satoshi eventually appearing and creating a new market out of nowhere that learned the reasons why this one failed and applying those lessons, however if it happened then we are most likely not going to see that during our lifetimes, so this is the chance that we have been waiting for to at least oppose and maybe reverse a little the tendency of more centralization and surveillance that governments have been implementing for the better part of this century.

Jogn McAfee is talking about financial independence,but nobody can't use a cryptocurrency exchange without KYC verification.You can't buy and sell cryptocurrencies without KYC verification.Is this "financial independence"?

Don't speak for everyone, some people have the ability to trade crypto without KYC - after all, you know there are DEX? In addition, some countries have not yet introduced a mandatory KYC for trading up to a certain amount, and I can say that I still have the privilege of being able to go to the physical branch of the crypto exchange and buy or sell crypto without KYC. Please be careful how you write people's names, maybe John will get mad at you if he sees how careless you are Wink
It's John McAfee, not Johnny Sins after all, so nothing to worry about Cheesy

I don't think anymore that crypto is our last hope. I would say that back in 2014 but not right now. What I see is that crypto is abandoned by businessmen. Centralized exchanges hold the most cryptocurrencies, Commercial business almost owns the crypto mining. Idk idk if that's how the decentralized currency should look like.
So, in any way, not our last hope, there are endless possibilities and as time goes, unbelievable things happen. No one could imagine cryptocurrencies years ago, so, there will be something better that we can't imagine at the moment.
