My intention is to make these transcripts equally or greater…

John McAfee goes wild!

There’s a lot of things you can call John McAfee, probably with good cause. One thing you can’t call him, though, is boring. Listen in on episode 98 of the HodlCast to get an interesting and somewhat unhinged earful from the controversial security magnate turned politician.

While the elevator pitch of this episode would be “McAfee discusses his new decentralized exchange,” this installment of HodlCast covers everything from lawless utopia, to income tax, to lazy millennials as John remotes in via sat-phone and speaks his mind on a range of topics.
