McAfee was right
🔵 Back in 2017, John McAfee said on CNBC that authorities simply do not have the resources to control Bitcoin, which means they would have to adapt.
🔵 Now in 2025, this has become a reality: the decentralization of $BTC and DeFi have forced authorities to seek new tax schemes and recognize crypto as part of the system.
🔵 In the video, Bitcoin was worth ~$3,900 and was declining; many did not believe in its rise. Today, it's the opposite: new records, institutional players in the game, and every serious bank is already experimenting with blockchain.
McAfee's long-term belief in Bitcoin has been justified.
