John McAfee Could Be America's First Blockchain President

The news that John McAfee will run for president for the second time is already causing a stir in the cryptocurrency community.

In his announcement, made on Twitter, and in subsequent interviews, McAfee makes clear that cryptocurrency awareness will be a major focus of his campaign.

His interests include cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, history, and politics, or rather the destruction of it.

At age 72 and going strong, McAfee fully embraces cryptocurrency.

The underlying blockchain technology, as a driving force in the future of humankind.

As a technologist, McAfee understands the neutral, and consequentially dualistic nature of any technology and can be used for evil or good purposes.

It clear by now which side McAfee is on, and his lifelong exploration and promotion of individual freedom provides hot fuel for his advocacy of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies.

Thanks to the wonders of blockchain technology, McAfee already has a number of real-world examples to draw upon.

Docademic uses a database and video conferencing technologies in conjunction with the blockchain to expand the reach and lower the overhead for medical professionals, while at the same time providing a stable currency for buying and selling medical services.

By the time 2020 rolls around, McAfee will have plenty of mature, successful blockchain platforms to choose from, assembling a war chest that aligns neatly with the pressing social, and therefore political, problems of our time.
