John McAfee is offering a $500 reward in the stablecoin DAI for the best photo that encapsulates the post-apocalyptic nature of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
In a tweet made April 3, McAfee asked for users who were able to leave their homes to send him photos of “interesting” aspects of their cities as a result of the coronavirus shutdown. He offered a $500 reward for the best photo, with the winner being announced next week.
Those able to leave your homes during quarantine ...
(to buy food or get medical care, etc.) ...
Take photos of interesting aspects of your vacant cities, highways, etc.
$500 in DAI crypto paid for the best photo (Chosen by @theemrsmcafee next week)
Just drop photos here:)

Users immediately began submitting photos encapsulating the haunting and vacant reality of cities across the globe.
One user published a photo of Grand Central in New York City during rush hour.

Gas prices have plummeted across the country as a result of the slow response by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cartel to the ongoing economic crisis. One Twitter user published a photo of unleaded gasoline in his town going for less than $1 per gallon.
