John McAfee asks his Twitter followers to stop sending him Bitcoin, despite him daring them to

There's not much I admittedly understand about John McAfee and his ways of the world, from admitting to his Twitter followers that he's armed at all times from the shower to the bed to his, ahem, signature 2020 cocktailof mezcal, vodka, Scotch, Kahlua and blue curacao.

But you can't argue that he's boring.

McAfee has long been a Bitcoin enthusiast and champions most things cryptocurrency, and has been more recently hyping a debit card-like Visa that one can load with Bitcoin, is apparently usable anywhere and converts to local currencies.

(The first 12,000 "debit cards" apparently will bear his image on the front, for those that want it, apparently.)

McAfee took out his development team for drinks Monday, according to his Twitter account, and used the new Bitcoin debit card for its first outing. In the process of showing off the card, he also offered up an interesting proposition to his followers: Why not send me some Bitcoins to test it?

"People asked to see the back of the card," McAfee wrote in a tweet. "Here's front and back on the counter at the first bar ever to accept a Bitcoin credit card. The code on the back is for one of my test wallets. If you want to send me Bitcoins as a test please do so :)"

It seems a number of people took McAfee up on his offer, and within three hours, he was begging people to stop.

"When I suggested in my last tweet that naysayers saying the scan code on the back of my Bitcoin Visa card was not even real, should just try sending Bitcoins and see -- sure as heck, the BTC started arriving," McAfee wrote.

"I insist this stop. Already the IRS hates me," he added.

It's true, the IRS is no fan of McAfee; the former antivirus magnate was indicted by the IRS for not paying taxes and he is currently living in international waters, while also running for president in 2020. The controversial McAfee is also a "person of interest" for the 2012 murder of his neighbor in Belize.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is also not a fan of McAfee: He's claimed he's been forced into hiding due to his involvement with cryptocurrency and problems with the SEC, and apparently encouraged his Twitter followers to harass SEC Chair Jay Clayton last year, and demand a debate between McAfee and Clayton.
