McAfee announces that its Bitcoin debit card will be available soon. Can we believe it?

By CCN: John McAfee has just tweeted, somewhere in the Bahamas, the teaser image of a new encrypted debit card. Millionaire anti-virus company "dotcom" promises Visa brand bitcoin card will soon be available. The promo teaser indicates that you can use your card to spend bitcoins wherever Visa is accepted. McAfee has always made false promises, the most recent being that it would reveal the identity of the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. So for anyone in encrypted countries who is eagerly awaiting a Visa-brand bitcoin debit card, we can not make any promises. But McAfee says it's the real deal.

The back of the card has a QR code for a bitcoin deposit address.

If this feature is reflected in the final product, users will be able to accept payments with a card in their wallet. This would be a disruptive incursion into the payment card business. Notably because the underlying currency used for payment is bitcoin.

Sorry – "Credit Card" was a misnomer. More like a debit card. You load it with Bitcoin and then use it anywhere. We convert to local currencies. pic.twitter.com/0MRmh1PslW

Branding John McAfee Bitcoin Credit Card

The front of the card features the dashing goblet of John McAfee on an American flag background with broken strings inside the stripes. There are also symbols of modern technology and civilization in the starry field. Bottom left, the card says: "Lover of freedom".

In the middle is a cork for McAfee's 2020 presidential campaign with the following warning: "Recover your soul." At least, it's better than "Do not vote for McAfee", the last official campaign slogan known to the oddball contestant.

Is John McAfee advertising good for Bitcoin?

McAfee has a well-deserved reputation for unrepentant degeneration. Does his enterprising involvement in the cryptocurrency space make Bitcoin and other cryptos look bad?

Surely not.

John McAfee is a hero to many, and despite his unorthodox way of thinking and living, or perhaps because of it, he has done a lot to be proud. He has done a lot of good in the world. People admire him because they respect his steel conviction just as much as his charisma and his spirit.

Nevertheless, John, if you want to sell some, remove your face from the map. My two satoshis. McAfee must have listened because it has just announced:

"Only the first 12,000 have my image. After that, all cards shipped will be simple. My enemies will have to wait. "

John McAfee Crying Wolf?

The worst thing he can do, however, is to make the cryptography community hope for another product that can incorporate bitcoin into the mainstream and make a lame excuse as to why this can not be true. . Even if you are John McAfee, you can not cry wolf anymore.
