Last year, I interviewed antivirus pioneer and businessman John McAfee. We chat infrequently via e-mail, but still keep in touch.
I'm confident that McAfee will be a valuable addition to the Steemit community, given his interest in both decentralization and the blockchain.
He'll be calling me later tonight, so let me know what aspects of — and advantages to — Steemit I should highlight for him!
Peace and love,
Andrew Demeter
Nice. Good luck with the conversation. I'd love to see him going to town on this from a security perspective as well. McAfee seems like a fascinating individual.
I describe it this way:
Yes! It would be great to hear his ideas from a security perspective! Not sure if you'll have time to delve into the crypto though :)
Unfortunately, I don't think money is a much of a motivating factor for a multimillionaire. ;-)
How do you think they become multimillionaires?
I didn't mention money though, so I'm not sure what you're referring to.
McAfee's net worth.
@andrewdemeter excellent! Steem is cheap, make sure that John knows he can buy a shit ton right now. Would love to see Mcafee Whale!
In a few hours, I'm publishing a story about my phone call with him. :-)
I see you're burninatin' again
I am excited to see if this works out!
Tell him "Dash and the vending machine was cool right? Steemit is the next big thing, and equal level of disruption, but with social media." Dash lovers will certainly agree ;)
McAfee is awesome, he's completely unlike the company he no longer has a relationship with.
this is hilarious
oh man.. that was great. I lol'd all over myself.
He's the definition of a polite, well-mannered badass.
I had the pleasure of meeting the man himself last month!
It would be awesome if you got him on!
Great selfie!
thanks! I was walking by him at SFO and did a double take like "Is that... can it be?" then I made eye contact with his wife and gestured to her and she nodded "yep" then got to talk to him for a second. cool dude!
He seems like an odd character
In what regard?
Why should I trust John with presidency when his McAfee spyware continually seeks to worm it's way like a virus into my computer. Who even buys McAfee anti virus protection here?
John sold his antivirus company to Intel many years ago.
How did the call go ?
