WHACKD was initiated in November of 2019 by John McAfee and his team of developers. John McAfee had a vision to hold a mirror up to society, to reflect the reality of parasitic entities and malicious actors, who perpetually skim values from from world. This project aims to remove the power from those malicious actors (who appear in the form of market manipulators) and instead reward the good intentions of the holders of WHACKD. Originally planned as a social experiment, the project has since found many enthusiastic supporters Since the late John McAfee’s death in June of 2021, a budding community has formed to work together in a voluntary led effort to push these ideas forward and further McAfee’s legacy.
