In a democracy, power is given not taken.
But it is still power.
Love, compassion, caring have no use for it. But it is fuel for greed, hostility, jealousy...
All power corrupts.
Take care which powers you allow a democracy to wield.
-John McAffe, 6/18/2021 4 days before his death.
Hey Everyone,
Seems a lot of people in crypto loved McAffe, I in turn have really mixed feelings about him. While I loved his thoughts on power and freedom and the rebel in him. I also disliked many aspects of him and by today's standards maybe he should be viewed much like Jeffrey Epstein. A rich powerful man who surrounded himself with extremely young girls from poor families.
John McAffe dies 6/23/2021, by suicide, reports say..
In any case his death, like his life leaves us with many questions about what is right, what is wrong and how power and wealth is obtained, used and where it leads. I don't hate wealthy people, I love success, but I do wonder about men who find pleasure in luring young, powerless women, to their wealth. If they are of age, it's nothing more than a life choice, if they aren't. That changes everything.
In conclusion outside of Hollywood Movies and our oddly defined culture most people are a mix of good and bad and outrageous people even more so.
John mentioned many times he would never commit suicide and said if he died, it wouldn't be suicide and on the other hand it isn't hard to imagine he wouldn't want to be returned to the US. I tend to think he was a fighter and wonder who he paid to fake his death so he could carry on with the rest of his life.
What did you think of him?
Do you believe the news?
Let's talk about it.

What “normal” person mentions something like that many times?
lol, good point. Who thought he was normal?
But also, one who knows he's a problem to the upper class, due to girls, drugs, bribes and more.
What really bugged me was how he pronounced his name and company he founded, with the emphasis on the second syllable. It was jarring every time I heard a news story about him.
As it happens, I grew up in McAfee, New Jersey which is pronounced MACK-ah-fee.
I hadn't thought about it recently, but your comment reminded me that I got laughed at once for referencing the virus software exactly how you just demonstrated. I had forgotten all about it. lol
I only heard this here - but no - I don't ever believe "the news" - maybe 1% of it is true, but it's easier to just say it's all fake - why would "they" tell us something true?
I can't believe any part of it either. I question everything they say.

Like Epstein, I'm sure they got some poor fall guy to stand in for him while he disappeared into the wide blue yonder. So many people still think Epstein was murdered...Yeah right, and that was how his earlobes changed shape!
Magicians have many tricks... Get them to argue about whether it was murder or suicide. No...it wasn't...
Yep, he didn't even try to fight? That doesn't sound like the McAffe we know.
I would guess he paid someone to fake his death and he will retire somewhere quiet.
Unsure! Maybe it was actually to get out of eating his own dick! Haha.
That being said I wouldn't be surprised if it's suspicious. High profile people don't feel trapped. They always have ways out. Money solves many issues.
If I had his money, I'd fight it first and if I didn't want to live with the results... that's when one might consider offing yourself.
I don't believe it.

You can only standby and watch. I think a cell can do something to you, you can't imagine before entering.
Such a controversial person, I did actually like the guy for some weird reason, his awkward principles and adventures and reckless way of life... I want to hope he’s not dead but...RIP if he is. It will be really sad if he was murdered though

Yeah, funny thing, even though I disliked some of his actions, I totally understand liking him.
RIP indeed
