John McAfee- Wild Man
Remembering the man who made us think, laugh, and a ton of other mixed feelings
In 2016, I walked into several of my political science classes with a “McAfee/Weiss 2016” necktie. Did I really want John McAfee to be the Libertarian nominee for president that year? I don’t really know if I did, but what I certainly know was that for the first time in a long time, libertarians had a wild man making us look like the life of the party for the first time ever.
He had faults, he sinned, he was not the type of person you’d probably look to as the best standard-bearer for gentlemanly conduct. I never met John McAfee so I can’t speak to his heart, but for a brief time in history, he motivated a lot of people to get active and genuinely believe in a radically freer world again, and for some, the very first time.
At FreedomFest in 2017, I was in line to do a “John McAfee meet and greet” to get my tie signed. It would turn out that he wouldn’t make that event that day since he was attacked leaving his hotel and spent a week in the hospital. He later went on Twitter to joke about the attack, he even went on to make a joke about Bitcoin whether or not it would hit half a million dollars within three years a few days later (at least I thought it was a joke at the time).
While I was disappointed not to have met him, that was definitely a genuine “McAfee moment.”
In 2019, I even put him in my book “How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship)” as a cameo character where I patched together his own, real life tweets in order to craft what some have called “a disturbing and awfully hilarious scene.”
God bless you, wild man, I hope you’re at peace.

l’m not a financial adviser or certified professional. I only do what I feel is right for me, and as someone that has had a unique career path, passive income through investing has allowed me to build wealth and earn reliable cash flow. While administrations come and go, and policies change by the day, ultimately the biggest impact on my financial health and future are the decisions I make regarding my money.
If the recent defense of corrupt hedge funds, Wall Street bankers, and immoral regulators have shown us anything, it’s that the only people with our best interest at heart when it comes to our money are ourselves.
