 JOHN MCAFEE'S SPEECH ABOUT GOVERNMENT TAXES, BANKS, CORRUPTION, AND CRYPTOCURRENCY 

https://youtu.be/sYaim16f3qw

THE BLOCKCHAIN IS THE FIRST WORLD CHANGING TECHNOLOGY IN THE PAST 100 YEARS, THAT DID NOT COME FROM THE BOWLS OF A SECRET GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT. DIDN'T COME FROM THE CIA , DID NOT COME FORM SAMSUNG OR APPLE OR IBM. IT CAME FROM ORDINARY PROGRAMMERS. ORDINARY PEOPLE, AND IT'S BEEN WITH US FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS. IT HAS BECOME PART OF THE PEOPLE.

GOVERNMENTS ARE JUST NOW STARTING TO SEE THE BLOCK CHAIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCY AS A OPPORTUNITY OR THREAT OR SOMETHING TO FEAR, AND IT IS ALL OF THOSE ALL THREE.

THE OPPORTUNITY IS LIKE WITH FACEBOOK LIBRA TO SAY WE HAVE CREATED SOMETHING THAT EMPOWERS THE PEOPLE, WELL THAT'S BULLSHIT. IT DOESN'T EMPOWER ANYBODY EXCEPT FACEBOOK. BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU DO NOW WILL BE MONITORED FINANCIALLY, NOT JUST WHAT YOU ARE BUYING.
NOT JUST THE PEOPLE YOU ARE TALKING TO, WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE, THAT'S ALREADY MONITORED, NO  EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO FINANCIALLY.

IS THIS IN THE PEOPLE'S INTEREST?

YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS.

WE ARE RAPIDLY A APPROACHING AN ERA WHERE PEOPLE VERSUS GOVERNMENT BECOMES A WORLD WIDE PHENOMENON.

WHY WOULD GOVERNMENT FEAR THE BLOCK CHAIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCY.

IT'S BECAUSE WITH THE ADVENT OF PRIVACY COINS LIKE MONERO AND DOZENS OF OTHERS AND THE ADVENT OF DISTRIBUTED EXCHANGES WHICH ARE JUST NOW BECOMING REAL, THEN GOVERNMENTS CAN NEITHER MONITOR OR CONTROL WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE. IF YOU ARE USING A PRIVACY COIN
LIKE "MONERO" AND A DISTRIBUTED EXCHANGE LIKE THE MCAFEE DEX WHICH JUST CAME OUT TWO WEEKS  AGO, WE ARE IN BETA BY THE WAY, IT'S NOT REAL. I MEAN IT'S REAL BUT NOT FUNCTIONAL.

IN SIX MONTH IT WILL BE THE EQUIVALENT OF FINANCE ON A DISTRIBUTED AND DECENTRALIZED BASIS. NOW WE BUILD OURS ON THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN AND WE ILL BE DOING IT ON OTHER BLOCKCHAINS AS WELL SO THAT YOU CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN, IT'S THERE. WHAT IS THE BLOCKCHAIN AN IMMUTABLE RECORD OF WHAT'S HAPPENED, NOW WHAT HAPPENED IS WE PUT A BUNCH OF SMART CONTRACTS ON IT, THAT WILL ALLOW DISTRIBUTED EXCHANGES TO BE REAL.

SO WHEN THE FCC OR THE IRS COMES TO ME AND SAYS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.
I AM GONNA GO, OH GOD I AM SORRY, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING I MADE A MISTAKE, BUT IT CAN'T BE CHANGED, CAN'T NOT NE ALTERED, CAN'T BE CONTROLLED, CAN NEVER BE SHUT DOWN.

SO THIS SCARES GOVERNMENTS. WHY?

IF THEY DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOUR INCOME IS COMING FROM, AND WHAT YOU ARE SPENDING, THEN THEY CANNOT COLLECT INCOME TAXES, WHICH IS THE LARGEST SINGLE REVENUE SOURCE FOR ALMOST EVERY GOVERNMENT.

NOW IN MY MIND INCOME TAXES AT LEAST IN AMERICA ARE ILLEGAL. THEY ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND UNTIL 1913, WE DIDN'T HAVE THEM, NEVERTHELESS TODAY INCOME TAXES ARE THE MAJORITY OF THE UNITED STATES REVENUE SOURCE.
NOW, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HONEST? AND IF THEY EARNED A HUNDRED THOUSAND  THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO DOLLARS , THAT THEY ARE GOING TO SAY SO WHEN THEIR TAX RETURNS. KNOWING THAT THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T KNOW. THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO FIND OUT. BUT YES I AM GOING TO BE HONEST AND TELL YOU.

YOU KNOW THAT IS A LIE.

PEOPLE ARE NOT THIS WAY , THEY DON'T ACT IN THIS FASHION. IF THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH SOMETHING AND NO THEY CAN'T BE CAUGHT THEN WELL,, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY TAXES.

THIS FRIGHTENS GOVERNMENTS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ITS LIKE PANDORA'S BOX, THE BLOCK CHAIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCY IS OUT OF THAT BOX, AND IT WILL NEVER BE PUT BACK IN.

SO WHAT ARE GOVERNMENTS DOING OR CORPORATIONS OR REGULATORY AGENCIES CONTEMPLATING OR BUILDING THEIR OWN CRYPTOCURRENCY LIKE CHINA, OR CORPORATIONS LIKE FACEBOOK WHY?

THINKING THAT IF THEY PROMOTE THIS PROPERLY LIKE FACEBOOK'S EMPOWERING THE PEOPLE OF THEIR BULLSHIT. CONTROLLING THE PEOPLE, THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.

AND AS GOVERNMENTS COME OUT WITH THEIR OWN CRYPTOCURRENCIES, THE CRYPTO DOLLAR, THE CRYPTO EURO, THE CRYPTO POUND, THEY WILL BE SAYING THE SAME THING, WE ARE EMPOWERING YOU MAKING YOUR LIFE EASIER, WHEN ARE THEY REALLY DOING MONITORING CONTROLLING, AND GETTING DEEPER ACCESS IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN LIVES.

SO THIS IS THAT REALITY, BUT THE PEOPLE , THE PEOPLE WHO ARE USING BITCOIN , MONERO , ETHEREUM.THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ON EXCHANGES. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SELLING GOODS AND SERVICES FOR CRYPTO CURRENCY. WELL THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STOP. AND THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED BY THE PEOPLE , PRIVACY COINS, DISTRIBUTED EXCHANGES, THIS WILL WIN ONLY IF THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, THAT THIS IS WHERE THEIR POWER IS. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WITH LIBRA. IT'S NOT GOING TO WITH THE CRYPTO DOLLAR, IT'S GOING TO BE WITH SOMETHING THAT COMES OUT OF THIS MORASS OF THOUSAND OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST, WHICH WE ALL LAUNCH ONTO.

AND IT WILL BE A PRIVACY COIN, AND THERE WILL BE MANY HUNDREDS, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY. IF THEY ARE USABLE, IF THEY ARE FUNCTIONAL THAT'S ALL. THAT MATTERS. WHEN PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WITH ETHEREUM , BITCOIN AND MANY OF THE OTHERS, IF I SEND YOU MONEY OR YOU SEND ME MONEY OR YOU
PUBLISH YOUR WALLET ADDRESS ON YOUR TWITTER PAGE.WELL I CAN GO AND SEE HOW MUCH IS IN THERE, WHAT COMES IN , WHAT GOES OUT.

IF YOUR BANK DID THAT? IF A PLUMBER CAME TO YOUR HOUSE, FIXED YOUR SINK, YOU WROTE HIM A CHECK FOR FORTY DOLLARS, THEY WENT TO THE BANK AND SAID HI, I'D LIKE TO SEE MR MCAFEE'S BALANCE IN HIS ACCOUNT PLEASE, AND THE BANK GOES OH,YEAH HERE HE'S GOT THIS MUCH, AND WOULD YOU PLEASE ALERT ME, EVERY TIME MONEY COMES IN, AND WHO IT CAME FROM, AND ALERT ME WHEN MONEY GOES OUT AND WHO IS WHO HE'S SENDING IT TO, WOULD YOU
BE HAPPY?

NO, THAT'S A CURRENT STATE OF MUCH OF CRYPTOCURRENCY. PRIVACY COINS SOLVED THAT PROBLEM, UNLESS YOU DON'T REALLY CARE , I MEAN IF YOU WANT YOUR PLUMBER TO KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE AND HOW YOU
ARE SPENDING IT OR RECEIVING IT   

THAT'S COOL WITH ME, BUT IF THAT DOES BOTHER YOU, YOU WILL BE WITH A PRIVACY COIN, AND IF YOU WANT TO DO TRANSACTIONS THAT ARE JUST BETWEEN YOU AND THE PERSON YOUR ARE TRANSACTING WITH, YOU WILL USE DISTRIBUTED
EXCHANGES, WHERE IN OUR EXCHANGE WE ASK FOR NO INFORMATION, NO NAME, NO EMAIL, NO ADDRESS , NO DOCUMENTATION NOTHING. WE HOLD NO MONEY, WE ARE A PORTAL ONTO THE BLOCKCHAIN WHERE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED
A BUNCH OF SMART CONTRACTS THAT OPERATE THIS AUTONOMOUSLY, WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL, YOU ARE IN CONTROL, NOW IT WILL BE ANOTHER SIX MONTHS BEFORE IT'S COMPLETE WE ALREADY HAVE OUR BETA RELEASED, AND IT'S GOING FINE AND WHEN IT IS RELEASED COMPLETELY AND WHEN IT'S FUNCTIONAL WITH CROSS CHAIN TRANSACTIONS. IT WILL BE JUST LIKE FINANCE ONLY WE DON'T CHARGE ANYTHING TO LIST A COIN.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE US ALAMO AND TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. NO, YOU PRESS THE BUTTON AT THE TOP NAME THE COIN AND PUT THE TECHNICAL SPECS AND YOU ARE NOW FUCKING LISTED. THAT'S IT PRIVACY COINS DISTRIBUTED
EXCHANGES WILL BE THE END OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL, THEY CANNOT ANYMORE STOP IT, CONTROL IT, OR MONITOR IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN THAT OCCURS , OUR GOVERNMENTS ARE GONNA GO OH FUCK , WE LOST THEY WON.

NO, THEY ARE GOING TO BE ANGRY, AND THEY ARE GOING TO PASS LAWS. OR THEY ARE GONNA JUST CRACK DOWN LIKE IN CHINA TWO YEARS AGO, EVERY SINGLE EXCHANGE SHUT DOWN WITH A SNAP OF THE FINGERS. HOW DID THEY DO
THAT? THE EXCHANGES WERE ALL CENTRALIZED , THEY HAD A OFFICE, THEY HAD SERVERS , THEY HAD EMPLOYEES, THEY HAD AN ADDRESS, SIMPLE SHUT OF THE ELECTRICITY OR ARREST EVERYBODY OR THROW A BOMB IN THE BUILDING,
WHATEVER END OF THE STORY.

WITH DISTRIBUTED EXCHANGES YOU CAN'T SHUT THEM DOWN, IF YOU SHUT DOWN, MCAFEEDEX.COM, I DON'T CARE WE ALREADY HAVE 15 ADDITIONAL PORTALS AND BY THE END OF THE YEAR, WE WILL HAVE 100, CAN'T BE SHUT DOWN.

SO GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE ONLY ONE RESOURCE, IT'S NOW ILLEGAL TO USE DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES, AND PRIVACY  COINS OR ALL CRYPTOCURRENCY LIKE IN INDIA. LIKE IN INDIA THEY ARE ALMOST PASSING LAWS TO BAN ALL
CRYPTOCURRENCY, YOU CAN'T OWN IT YOU CAN'T TRADE IT, END OF STORY. BUT ALSO FOR 75 YEARS IN AMERICA SMOKING WEED,, SMOKING MARIJUANA IS ILLEGAL. IT IS STOPPED ANYONE , NO, WHY, TOO MANY PEOPLE SMOKING IT. IN AMERICA IN THE 1920'S THEY MADE ALCOHOL ILLEGAL, DID THAT STOP ALCOHOL? NO, WE DRANK MORE ALCOHOL DURING PROHIBITION THAN AT ANY OTHER TIME WHY?

TOO MANY PEOPLE DRINKING ALCOHOL, THERE ARE ALREADY TOO MANY PEOPLE USING CRYPTOCURRENCY, IT CAN'T BE  LEGISLATED AWAY. IF YOU ARE USING PRIVACY COINS, IF YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF IT YOU HAVE A DISTRIBUTED EXCHANGE NO ONE CAN TELL WHAT YOU ARE DOING UNLESS THEY ARE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM WITH YOU WATCHING, YOU PRESS THE KEYS,
 

SO DON'T BE AFRAID, WHEN LAWS ARE PASSED KEEP IN MIND, THE LAW IS NO MORE SEVERE THAN SMOKING WEED, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HEARS SMOKE WEED PROBABLY NOT YOUR BUSINESS PEOPLE,, HOWEVER I BET YOU DO SOME OF YOU.
THAT'S ILLEGAL AND WELL HERE IN EUROPE I GUESS , IT'S NOT. IN SPAIN YOU CAN SMOKE WHAT FOUR POUNDS A DAY. WHAT IS IT ANYWAY?? THERE IS A LIMIT, I AM SURE NEVERTHELESS, ITS THE SAME THING.

YOU CANNOT LEGISLATE AWAY SOMETHING THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION OR EVEN A SMALL MINORITY FIVE PERCENT'S  ALL YOU NEED. IF FIVE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IS DOING SOMETHING , YOU CAN'T STOP IT, LET IT GO, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT OUT MURDERING YOUR NEIGHBOR OR ROBBING BANKS, THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. BUT NO IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME CONDUCTING BUSINESS CAN'T BE STOPPED. NOW IF ANYBODY'S FROM A GOVERNMENT LISTENING TO ME, YOU NEED TO TAKE HEED, BECAUSE THE TECHNOLOGY IS ALREADY IN PLACE TO BYPASS YOUR ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT INCOME TAXES.
AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU DO, MAKE A LAW, LEGISLATE THIS, DOUBLE YOUR POLICE FORCE, MAKING IT THE DEATH PENALTY, ITS NOT GOING TO FUCKING MATTER.

PEOPLE WILL DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN HOMES END OF STORY,

AND I AM GOING TO OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS, BECAUSE IL WILL JUST TALK ALL DAY.

ANY QUESTIONS EVERYBODY'S ASLEEP OR IS IT , I CAN'T EVEN SEE IS ANYBODY HERE,?


THE QUESTION IS ABOUT THE QUANTUM COMPUTERS? YOU ARE A TECH GUY , WITH TECH EXPERIENCES WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE, IT'S LIKE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS COMING OUT RECENTLY AND THE PRESS, THEY LIKE, THEY
TEND NO , THEY LIKE TO WRITE ABOUT THIS SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ANSWERS" QUANTUM COMPUTERS AND I ASSUME , THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE HOW WILL THAT IMPACT CRYPTOCURRENCY
IN THE BLOCKCHAIN? "YES"?

QUANTUM COMPUTERS , THERE IS A LOT TO TALK ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY GOOGLE THAT HAS QUANTUM COMPUTERS THAT CAN DO CALCULATIONS IN A FRACTION OF A SECONDS , THAT WOULD TAKE 10 TRILLION YEARS USING NORMAL
NORMAL COMPUTING, DOES THIS MEAN IT IS A GENERAL PURPOSE COMPUTER? NO.
QUANTUM COMPUTERS HAVE TINY SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS, AND ITS GOING TO BE 50 YEARS BEFORE A GENERAL PURPOSE ONE COMES OUT. AND IF IT DOES?, IS THAT GOING TO END CRYPTOCURRENCY?  NO, NO MORE THAN COMPUTING ENDED SELLING PEOPLE GUM AT STORE, IT JUST CHANGES THE WAY THAT IT'S DONE. BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE A GENERAL PURPOSE QUANTUM COMPUTER CAPABLE OF BREAKING A BLOCK CHAIN, WELL THEN YOU HAVE A CONSTANT COMPUTER ON THE BLOCKCHAIN SIDE CAPABLE OF FIRMING IT UP, AND WE WE'LL BE IN THE SAME POSITION WE ARE TODAY.
HACKERS TRYING TO GET IN, WE TRYING TO KEEP THEM OUT. NOW IF ONLY THE HACKERS HAVE CARBONIC COMPUTERS OR IF THE GOVERNMENT THAT IS PERHAPS A DIFFERENT STORY. I HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.

QUESTION:
I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR FACEBOOK, I NEED FOR LIBRA, I JUST THINK IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE OF WHAT IT SAYS.  ABOUT OTHER PLATFORMS SO YES. I AM A BITCOIN MAXIMALIST, I AM DISAPPOINTED BY LIKE I MENTIONED. IT HAS NOT BECOME AN ACTUAL REAL LIFE USE. AT LEAST IN MY POINT OF VIEW. LIKE I AM NOT PAYING FOR THINGS IN BITCOIN NOW RIGHT. THERE IS FOR NON-TECHNICAL PEOPLE ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WITHOUT INTERNET ACCESS, THAT' EASY BARRIERS TO ADOPTING BITCOIN. IT SEEMS LIKE ALMOST HIGHER BARRIERS , LIKE I AM A BIG FAN OF DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES IN MONERO, BUT I THINK WE HAVE THAT USABILITY THUMB, AND THE POSSIBLE BENEFIT OF SOMETHING LIKE LIBRA, IS THAT IT MAY BE EASIER ADOPTION , SO HOW DO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN USABILITY AND SECURITY AND GETTING ENOUGH PEOPLE ON THERE THAT THERE OS CRITICAL ,MASS THAT WE FINALLY CROSS THE CHASM.  GOOD QUESTION.


ANSWER: BITCOIN MAXIMALIST YOU KNOW , I AM NOT GOING TO PUT ANY BITCOIN MAXIMALIST HERE BUT YOU GUYS NEED TO MOVE  OUT OF YOUR MOTHER'S BASEMENT ALL RIGHT.
NO OKAY, THERE'S THIS DIVISION IN THE CRYPTO WORLD BETWEEN THE BITCOIN MAXIMALIST, THINKING THAT  IS ALL WE NEED AND THE REST OF THE WORLD WHO ARE USING PRIVACY COINS AND SMART CONTRACTS TO DO THINGS LIKE CREATE DISTRIBUTED EXCHANGES, THAT YOU JUST CAN'T DO ON BITCOIN. IT'S AN OLD TECHNOLOGY DOESN'T SUPPORT PRIVACY IT DOESN'T SUPPORT SMART CONTRACTS ON AND ON, SLOW, AND YOU WILL FIX THAT , I AM SURE. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER WORLD AND THAT WORLD IS GROWING , I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE NOTICED WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH BITCOIN AND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ALL CURRENCIES. ALL CURRENCIES ARE NOW TAKING THEIR STAGE, AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH BITCOIN IS PRIVACY, JUST LIKE IT IS WITH ETHEREUM, THAT IF I SEE YOUR WALLET ADDRESS, YOU ARE DONE DUDE, I AM GOING TO WATCH EVERY PENNY THAT COMES IN, AND EVERY PENNY THAT GOES OUT FOREVER , JUST BECAUSE , I AM BORED IF NOTHING ELSE OR YOU ARE A COMPETITOR OF MINE, AND I HAPPEN TO GET YOUR WALLET ADDRESS, NOW WE ARE IN BUSINESS, WE WANT TO SEE WHO IS SENDING HIM MONEY AND WHO IS BUYING HIS GOODS FROM,
IF I CAN CROSS-REFERENCE WALLET ADDRESSES TO PEOPLE WHICH IS TRIVIAL. THAT IS A FLAW TO ME.

I WANT SOMETHING WHERE MY COMPETITORS, IF THEY HAVE MY BANK NUMBER, CAN'T GO INTO THAT AND SEE WHAT I HAVE GOT, AND WHAT'S HAPPENING. PRIVACY COINS SOLVE THAT, WE ALSO NEED A WORLD WERE CRYPTOCURRENCIES BLOCKCHAIN APPLICATIONS CAN BE USED FOR THINGS OUTSIDE THE CRYPTO WORLD. THINGS THE CONCEPT OF DISTRIBUTED EXCHANGES, WHERE THE SMART
CONTRACTS, DO ALL THE WORK, AND THERE ARE NO SMART CONTRACTS WITH BITCOIN, ON AND ON ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT WE CAN DO OTHER COIN BLOCKCHAINS CANNOT BE DONE ON THE BITCOIN BLOCK CHAIN, SO I AM NOT SAYING BITCOIN IS GOOD OR BAD
I'D SAY THERE HAVE TO BE OTHER COINS, AND HOW DO WE THEN MAKE THAT PALATABLE TO OTHER PEOPLE, NOW I DISAGREE THAT BITCOIN
IS EASIER TO USE THEN MONERO , I MEAN I THINK THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.
