The founder of McAfee Antivirus Software said that he would set up his own political party if necessary, according to a tweet that was posted on Monday and has picked up over 750 comments and nearly 5,650 likes so far.

This would be McAfee's second attempt to run for the White House. Two years ago, the crypto enthusiast lost out to former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson in his bid to be the candidate for the Libertarian Party.

The 72-year-old tech entrepreneur has recently emerged as a distinguished advocate for digital currencies, including bitcoin, which have experienced swift growth in recent years while demonstrating extreme volatility. Last week, McAfee announced plans to create his own crypto-backed 'fiat' currency. The brand new bills are expected to be released for June 25.

At the same time, the antivirus software pioneer seems to be realistic about his chances, according to his tweet.
