At the same time, he’s also running for President of the United States.

How will the US survive without Income Taxes?
John McAfee shares that income taxes were illegal back in 1913. Since then, the US government uses income taxes for infrastructure and other projects for the benefit of American citizens. However, John states that there are numerous ways for the government to come up with the funds instead of billing their residents for it. Resources and road mileage are some of the ways he thinks will help fund the government. John claims that the government got greedy with income taxes, which is why he seeks to run for the 2020 US Presidential Elections.
John also addresses questions about his legitimacy for running for the top position in the US government at around minute 16 of the video interview.

A Closer Look at Bitcoin Price Action (by Invest Diva)
As the global economy takes a hit, institutional investors appear to have rushed to Bitcoin, the digital gold, as a hedge. Historically, Bitcoin surges between 60% to 130% in medium-term before retracing back down. However, looking at a big picture, BTC/USD appears to be moving towards the all-time-high level of around $20,000.
If this level is broken, we could expect new highs to be formed at key Fibonacci retracement levels.
On the monthly chart, BTC/USD has formed a Saucer Bottom bullish reversal chart pattern. The upper band of the Ichimoku cloud is acting as a resistance both on the monthly and daily time frames.
