In a democracy, power is given not taken.
But it is still power.
Love, compassion, caring have no use for it. But it is fuel for greed, hostility, jealousy...
All power corrupts.
Take care which powers you allow a democracy to wield.
-John McAffe, 6/18/2021 4 days before his death.
Hey Everyone,
Seems a lot of people in crypto loved McAffe, I in turn have really mixed feelings about him. While I loved his thoughts on power and freedom and the rebel in him. I also disliked many aspects of him and by today's standards maybe he should be viewed much like Jeffrey Epstein. A rich powerful man who surrounded himself with extremely young girls from poor families.
John McAffe dies 6/23/2021, by suicide, reports say..
In any case his death, like his life leaves us with many questions about what is right, what is wrong and how power and wealth is obtained, used and where it leads. I don't hate wealthy people, I love success, but I do wonder about men who find pleasure in luring young, powerless women, to their wealth. If they are of age, it's nothing more than a life choice, if they aren't. That changes everything.
In conclusion outside of Hollywood Movies and our oddly defined culture most people are a mix of good and bad and outrageous people even more so.
John mentioned many times he would never commit suicide and said if he died, it wouldn't be suicide and on the other hand it isn't hard to imagine he wouldn't want to be returned to the US. I tend to think he was a fighter and wonder who he paid to fake his death so he could carry on with the rest of his life.
What did you think of him?
Do you believe the news?
Let's talk about it.
