John Mcafee: "Any cryptocurrency that is driven by a government is bound to fail"
McAfee says these cryptocurrencies are destined to fail because of the controls that each government would impose to regulate their use.
These statements can be related to the Venezuelan government after the issuance of El Petro, a cryptocurrency that is allegedly backed by oil barrels, and where analysts already consider it to be a failure due to rejection among the country's residents and international investors.

McAfee ensures that decentralized currencies with an emphasis on provacity are destined to flourish. Governments reject currencies like Monero and ZCash, due to the difficulties they pose when monitoring operations, due to their decentralization.
