Last night, I published my Twitter exchange with businessman and computer programmer John McAfee. My goal was to introduce him to Steemit, as I know he’d be an extremely popular user.
I had to laugh because McAfee initially told me he didn’t have time for a phone call, but later changed his mind when I mentioned Steemit.
(I can't blame him, as I’m sure he gets hundreds of unsolicited messages per day from annoying investors.)
Despite his impressive net worth, the flaw McAfee sees with Steemit is lack of liquidity.
"In fact, the gentleman that I was looking at acquiring has about $600,000 in [Steem Power]. You just can't get it out. There's no liquidity."
At least for now, it looks like McAfee will be sticking to Facebook and Twitter.
Maybe he just prefers the fancy, blue "verified" check-mark on his profile?
Peace and love,
