TL;DR John McAfee’s new decentralized exchange will be launching today. The former antivirus software tycoon’s product is dubbed McAfeeDEX and will be running on the Ethereum blockchain. McAfee also stated that the exchange would allow users from all over the world.

The beta version of McAfee’s decentralized exchange is set to be released today with limited information posted on its website. It contains 3 of the key features on the homepage. According to the info provided, any token which has been built on the Ethereum blockchain (ERC-20) can be added for instant trading, and for free.

Other tokens on different platforms are supposed to be added in the future as well. McAfeeDEX will not be collecting any customer information, no jurisdictions will be blocked, and there will be no limits. The website also states that there will be only one trading taker’s fees of 0.25% and no maker fees.

“We have to make a decision in the crypto community whether this is all about money or it’s about money and something far more important – our personal freedom.” As said by McAfee. “As long as an entity controls the currency that you use […] you are not free. We have in crypto the promise and the possibility of freedom of that control if we do this properly. Centralized exchanges are our week point. China shut down all the exchanges in China 2 years ago.[…] Decentralized exchanges are our escape. […] Decentralized exchanges can’t be shut down.”

McAfee also stated that users should not be “expecting miracles at first” and encouraged them to allow time for others to join as well, thus making a difference. In his words, decentralized exchanges are “the door that frees us from the Government’s cornerstone of control: Fiat currencies.”

McAfee’s Blockchain Story

The former founder of the popular antivirus, John McAfee, has been a vocal supporter of Bitcoin and blockchain for years. A decentralized exchange appears to be a logical step after all of his rebellious actions over the past years. He has been naming and going against “corrupt” government officials, threatening to release tons of incriminating data if arrested.

He has also admitted his 8-year tax evasion and will be leading his 2020 presidential campaign from his “Freedom” boat, stating that the US has no control over Bitcoin. McAfee also launched a semi-anonymous cryptocurrency debit card earlier this year.
