John McAfee himself had said a whole 9 years ago: “You can‘t stop Bitcoin. It‘s like trying to stop gunpowder.“ That‘s even true today.

To those unaware, here is a small side information of what kind of a legend John McAfee actually is. He is a anti-virus software pioneer, already having developed one in 1987, after that he had been talking about the dangerous power the government and other institutions wield, also being famous for many comments on Cryptocurrency very early on. He then allegedly committed suicide after being sentenced in a Spain court for tax evasion in the US and other crimes.

Quote of John McAfee, picture by Pete Rizzo on Twitter

John McAfee comparing Bitcoin to the unstoppable force of gunpowder, once the spark is on you just can not stop it no matter what.
