The Bad Crypto Podcast

Remembering John McAfee The older you get the more you realize that life is indeed short. While the meme featuring Dwight Shrute says “false, it’s the longest thing you do”, it’s true that our time on this planet is brief, especially in relation to the history of the universe. A couple of weeks ago we all heard the news that John McAfee, an icon in the tech and blockchain space, and a colorful character who marched to the beat of his own drummer, had died. Over the past four years, John became a friend of this show and graced us with his time, his thoughts, and his laughter, five different times. In this episode we take a walk down memory lane and reflect on some of the content John shared with us, punctuated by our thoughts on the same.  With a loving nod to his widow Janice McAfee, we welcome you to this John McAfee tribute episode #521 of The Bad Crypto Crypto podcast.Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
