John McAfee Is the Creator of Bitcoin: TikTok Influencer Makes Wild Claims Or is it?

John McAfee is the creator of Bitcoin. This is the remarkable claim of a TikTok influencer who calls himself Harry the Soul Coach.

He says: “John McAfee is the creator of Bitcoin. If we go back and look at his past, he created the internet security software McAfee in 1987. So he had backdoor access then.”

The influencer goes on to say that he believes McAfee is still alive.

John McAfee and conspiracy theories

While there have been some very wild suggestions as to who created Bitcoin, this one may just be gaining traction, especially for conspiracy theorists.

There are several interviews on YouTube with McAfee, which show that he has a very solid knowledge of the blockchain, and always has.

However, it does show that he also seemed to enjoy doing interviews when the LSD microdose started. It probably wasn’t as micro as he planned some of these times.

A very interesting interview was conducted by Tom Shaughnessy of Delphi Media.

McAfee says during the interview, “Blockchain is the first technology that hasn’t come from the bowels of the government or a black program from the military. It’s not from IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung or any other company. And the technology has largely been open source – it’s available to everyone. This is a defining moment in the evolution of the human mind. The first application for the blockchain was cryptocurrency. And the first use of cryptocurrency was Bitcoin, which has far, far outlived its life expectancy. But it has no privacy. You can’t put smart contracts on that blockchain.”

Criminal elements

It is because of this, McAfee claims, that criminals were so quick to use it. “For years, Bitcoin was what people on the dark web accepted as payment. Criminals are always the first to accept new technology. I mean, good God almighty, when the phone came out, who were the first adopters? The mob! They had nationwide phone systems so they could coordinate nationwide criminal activity. So bank robberies increased tenfold in the early 1930s!”

McAfee goes on to say that a better alternative to Bitcoin is privacy coins like Monero.

The implication here by TikTok influencer Harry, is that McAfee set up Bitcoin to see what criminals were doing. Harry says, “McAfee got them all!”

Did McAfee create Bitcoin to target criminals? McAfee often said he could see the government through his anti-virus software. Did he create Bitcoin to watch criminals too?

As McAfee descends into anger and nonsense in the interview, he says, “Please God, let’s wake people up. Why was Bitcoin eventually worth as much as it originally was? Because it was used as a damn currency. No one wants to use Bitcoin anymore. It is old, bulky, slow and expensive. With zero privacy. Nobody uses it. It’s a piece of shit that the world doesn’t understand yet.”

Ok Satoshi Nakamoto, it’s been 13 years now, you’re the world champion of hide and seek… Come claim your trophy! Come out, come out, wherever you are!
