John McAfee says he received call from Satoshi Nakamoto asking not to be reveal

[NotFuzzyWarm]

he received a call from the creator of Bitcoin asking that his name not be revealed for fear of complications with the government and his personal safety.

Meh, just sounds like crazy John is hearing voices in his head again...

[kryptqnick]

Really? again? He is saying that is about to reveal who Satoshi is, DÉJÀ VU, I've saw this so many times.

I believe that John McAfee might actually think he knows who Satoshi is. I also think it's a good reason that person John talked to provided to stay anonymous (I would've said the same thing). And this person is probably one of the early adopters or even developers. All that, of course, doesn't mean that it's Satoshi at all. I think that whoever this person of McAfee is, it's not the real Satoshi. Or, taking into consideration what avikz pointed out, maybe there was no call and no person, it's just McAfee's hallucinatory friend. Just checked out his Twitter and couldn't find anything that crazy, but I was surprised to see a post about Ukrainian (I'm from Ukraine, and it's definitely not the language people usually study).

It's a good thing to see that everyone here in the thread doesn't believe on what John McAfee is telling online, did the whole industry adjusted and know what news to believe and what news to disregard? Or does everyone in the market now knows that McAfee until now hasn't said a single word of truth in his mouth? I think it is the latter I still see a lot of people easily get carried away with catchy news however with the majority of the posts showing negative comments against McAfee all I can say that this is a start for people here to see who to believe and to avoid.

Just leave him alone. You know how old retired people mumble nonsense and people neither pay attention to what they say nor being offended with that nonsense. Same is with John. The grandpa is 74 already and he is just playing with public to get attention

[ethereumhunter]

Really? How did he know that the call he received was from Satoshi Nakamoto? Did that person give the proves that he was the real Satoshi Nakamoto? LOL

I hope that he is not in a dream. But nevermind, I consider it is a joke for me

Solution:  Stop reading crappy cryptomedia bloggers who constantly scrape the barrel with the latest demented <insert ego-maniacal lunatic here> ramblings because they're incapable of producing content of a decent quality about anything remotely important.

And, more importantly, if you do still feel compelled to waste your own braincells continuing to read that crap, definitely DON'T share it here on these forums.  The "source" of this so-called "article" is basically worthless.  Stop giving them free publicity which they clearly don't deserve. 

Think carefully about what you're doing.  Even if they were a credible publication, if they see they're getting hits from stories like this because people share it without thinking it through, they're naturally going to assume it's something people want to read and keep publishing more crap just like it. 

Please do your part in restoring people's faith in media.  Share GOOD articles from REPUTABLE sources.

Damn, I was just sharing it here so we can create some discussion and talk about it, everyone knows here that we can't take this guy serious nowadays.

I subscribe for every word you said. This also regards to any existing media, especially those that exist in written form. True media, even the ones that used to be reliable, understand that their time has passed and all cling to dear life using clickbait-ish tactics. Good for views in the short term, deadly in the long run

[DooMAD]

everyone knows here that we can't take this guy serious nowadays.

And what you've got as a result is a topic with post after post of people trying to find a slightly different way to say exactly that. 

If we're being honest with ourselves, that's not really a "discussion", now is it?  At this stage, there isn't much more that can be said about John Mcafee that wasn't said the first 50 times he said something absurd.  I strongly encourage locking the thread because it's just going to devolve into another spammy megathread with no worthwhile content.

[cabron]

Mcafee really continues to become a shit after promoting shitcoins. Now turning a pigshit to grasp for relevance. All the things he touches turns to shit from his antivirus to this dex.

10 years passed. Even if they found out who satoshi is, would it make BTC not a working asset?

John "Crazy" McAfee said the exact same things a while ago and he just wants to be on the main news all the time just like some maniacs in the crypto space who have extensive criminal records trying to be a part of the revolutionary market, the best solution is to avoid these crazy media maniacs  and stop promoting them and their lies.

Mcafee really continues to become a shit after promoting shitcoins.

The exact reason he comes up with stupid stuff all the time, he just want to be relevant.

[Rengga Jati]

Honestly, I'm a little confused to feel comforted or sad to see how John McAfee always makes himself up in this crypto world.
Right what @nicecrypto stated:

Well John McAfee will always be who he is, nobody can change that,

Every time he makes a new statement, surely that statement will be up and he will become famous and remembered for all time. And when we talk about it again and again, he will be happy.
Let him with his own opinion and imagination. To be sure, I personally do not believe if Satoshi Nakamoto called him. It is too risky for Satoshi to make a call to anyone. Especially if he is afraid he will be revealed by the government and everyone, of course, this will harm and risk him. Because of that, why did he make a call? Doesn't he know if someone might be able to track the location of the call? Therefore, I think this is only John McAfee's imagination.

In the first place, why would Satoshi call him? For what reason? I don't see any strong reason why would he do that. There is no advantage of doing so instead he will be taking his risk to even just communicate with this person because he is a big mouth. For sure, it is one of the scammers posing Satoshi, and trying to get his attention, maybe for his own personal agenda.

[pixie85]

Soon we'll hear that it was CSW calling and he changed his mind and wants to be revealed now. 

If you want to be shown as the new Satoshi you just have to send enough money to John because his head always turns in the direction from which the smell of money is coming from

For real, John is taking much coke again

[Sadlife]

Right after Craight Wright now it's John Mcafee. Is really becoming a billionaire gives you a lot of free time to troll the Bitcoin community.
If he truly knows the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto then he should tell the whole world and provide evidence. I wonder if he's just a cryptocurrency hater or bought Bitcoin's at a wrong time or sold it and got rekt.

[MCobian]

John Mcafee was already unbelievable, because most of what John McAfee said was a lie. I have no respect for John Mcafee has since
he promoted shitcoins. Now he is lying again saying he knows the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. I think John Mcafee just want to get
attention, we all should not respond to anything John Mcafee says. Let him be delusional.

i'm trying to make my brain work like a brain of a genius to try to follow all the things that Mcfee does in the real world and mainly on twitter and i confess that i'm not getting it, just last year he did many things that if any hollywood director observed could make a good movie, and if any video game director watched it, could make a better game than San Andreas, answer me:



Wouldn't a game be better than GTA: San Andreas? 

John McAfee said he not only knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is but he received a call from the creator of Bitcoin asking that his name not be revealed for fear of complications with the government and his personal safety.

government complication? Faketoshi has lived for years saying that he is satoshi and I never heard any government say that he would arrest him, on the contrary I only heard about paying tax, this story that Satoshi hides because of fear of the government no longer makes sense. We have creator of ETH, TRON, XRP and many other altcoins who live their lives normally without having to hide from governments

[Kakmakr]

John McAfee will say anything to get a lot of attention and to stay relevant on Social media. He is also one of the most controversial characters in the Bitcoin scene. He will promote shady Alt coins if you pay him to boost it on social media and will say the most crazy things to get people's attention.

A few months ago, he promised to cut off his genitals, if the price did not go to a million dollars and guess what happened then... absolutely nothing.

The guy had so much potential, but he pissed it away on drugs and booze and prostitutes.    Just Google, " Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee " and watch the documentary.   Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gringo:_The_Dangerous_Life_of_John_McAfee

These two great men really makes me feel sick, they are making so much noise in crypto world and I don’t believe on this one. John McAfee claimed that he’s Satoshi with a pending case on a court, well I don’t hear any news now about this case. Anyway, we heard so much news now about Satoshi and yet no one can prove who’s that guy even John McAfee so technically he’a just trolling.

Are you referring with Craig Wright? while reading your post maybe you are mentioning CW but you wrote JM, regarding to OP's post this just another way for JM to gather readers interest this such claims is really hard to justify. If Satoshi is concerned about his fear with the government probably he knows that the call might be tapped there's no chance that he will do this since the founder of bitcoin knew how to protect his identity.

This guy is really funny first he claims to be Satoshi now that he knows people doesn't believe his lie he would create another one by telling us that Satoshi is contacting him?
I guess this guy is really thirsty with attention and doesn't care about how people would see him or doesn't have shame for himself anymore.
