sad, really.

tl;dw?

I see what you did there! Watching him count down the hacked crash of Mt.Gox BTC/USD, which was mostly reversed afterwards, almost made me comment on Youtube. Then I remembered... Never comment on Youtube!

tl;dr/w :


No need to spend more time. Another sad silverbug...

The sad thing is that his followers (this seems to me like a bit of a cult) actually thank him for warning him of this bitcoin ponzi-scam.

I really think the guy has some issues... so close-minded.

Here's the other part of the 'series': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UKC7iaBKvs

The really sad part is that he's removing all comments that do no agree with his vision or are in some way refuting his arguments.

who the fck is he?

LOL why are you concerned about his BS?

yeah, shouldn't be even legal. lol :)

Hes directing his followers to a site that is currently facing a scammer label...

Here's some of the coins he minted:

Don't know much about that guy, but come on - he still insists bitcoin is a ponzi. I am not sure if there's any point discussing with him.

What's wrong with Coinabul? Am I missed something?

Really sad indeed. Makes me wonder what else is he this ignorant about.  :-\

Watched the full 30 minutes.

A string of fallacies, misrepresentations, ad hominems, and unsubstantiated speculation.

I own quite a bit of metals myself, but have stopped listening to many of the so-called gurus in the community because their increasing paranoia and fearmongering is totally tiresome and off-putting.  To some of those guys, every single thing is a friggin' conspiracy.

It seems like 80-95% of all self proclaimed gurus online are far from any guru. :)

Sad but true.. Oh human mind, why you so stupid sometime.

Not sure - but is there any highly educated conspiracy nuts out there ? It seems to me that often these people don't have much but basic scooling, then they make up things as they go along, and only use the stuff they see is advantageous for their cause. Scientific methods, critical thinking, logical thinking, these kinds of qualities seems to go out the window a lot of the time.

Well I think you're right and it be pretty hard for them to use skills they never learned..

Chris is a good fellow. He sees a few things a bit differently, but if you only have bitcoins and not precious metals, you have something to learn from him.

A bit differently?

I have never heard of him until now.

Guess what? i find him beyond stupid.

BrotherJohnF (also a silver-stacker, but him I still highly respect), who has earlier discussed in an interview with Chris Douane about bitcoin answered (debunked? didn't watch yet) to the Ponzi allegations by Chris in his bitcoinchannel:

I once heard a wise man say: Don't talk too much about something you don't know too much about. So if we talk about bitcoin, I can say a lot, but if we talk about a car engine, I keep my mouth fucking shut.

You can't fix stupid.

pity.

The problem isnt about an idiot couldnt keep his mouth shut.

Its the general public (his followers) whos lazy to do their own research and just take what he said as facts.

It happens everywhere in the world and hence it creates this "cult". Social media is great but its also terrible to public when stupid spreading crap everywhere.

Ya I lost all respect for his disinformation about bitcoins, talking about bitcoins going to 0 and other BS. I might need to stop following him on youtube, He probably going to get flame because his information is almost all wrong.

Of course. I also stopped following him. Make him feel the consequences of his actions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lmvXpksWrg     Adam VS Chris Duane on Bitcoin  ,   its more like a reply video, it would be cool if someone did a civilize debate with silver man.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EI96TLowSg&list=UU-7vnmA1Zf1cRyqs9aR77ag&index=3   dude is really stretching it now, he had to bring joe rogan into this, i have unsubscribe to silverman as well.

What I can say is that Bitcoin's technical sophistication is already way beyond what some well-respected gurus in its related fields can wrap around their minds with, let alone the common folks out there, and don't rush to tell me that bitcoin is "complicated", if it's the only solution to a problem thus far unsolved, it's actually the simplest solution, and you may just be too lazy to learn about it.

When I heard Chris recommend people "sell everything they have and buy silver" I knew to take him with a shovel full of salt.  The same goes for the KWN gang, etc.  Turk, Von Greyertz, etc. have been blathering about gold taking off any day now for over a year.  Fundamentally there is good reason this should have in fact happened a while ago but we're now living amidst holographic, manipulated markets of all kinds devoid of fundamentals.  That's one of the reasons I was personally attracted to Bitcoin in the first place... Hey, look, a free market!

I have a bit of metal and am on board with Chris' general message but I also think giving advice like that is not only irresponsible but a reckless, fanatical approach despite perceived fundamentals. 

Chris has done good things for the honest money movement and has provided a bunch of great info to anyone wanting to listen.  I ordered a Freedom Girl each for me and my sister because they're gorgeous and I love the symbolism, she was very impressed.  I like the guy.  However, people need to be as critical with many of the "good guys" as with the bad guys and do one's DD.

This sums up my feelings pretty well. I subscribe to Chris's newsletter because he is of the right consciousness in approaching what I consider to be sort of the worst-case scenario for the progression of this currency crisis--'Positive, aware, prepared'. I do hope he comes around on Bitcoin.

What his views indicate to me is there is a fraction of the population that simply don't want unbacked money. Digital bullion banking/gold-backed digital currencies will almost certainly have an important role in the monetary future and compete with Bitcoin as a store of value--a beneficial symbiotic relationship regardless of whether you want to use only bitcoins, only metals, or both.

Thing is: gold is equally unbacked as bitcoin. The difference is "only" tangibility (corporeality) and tradition.

But I agree: there's probably a fraction of people who can never come to trust a virtual commodity like bitcoin, and I can understand that.

No need to bash it using FUD and lies, though.

Let there be competition!

And that really is the only part of their rejection that really bothers me.

Wow it is really sad how misinformed he is on this topic. I love the work he is doing with his coins and the messages behind them. But he is spreading a quite a few fallacies about bitcoin here.

haha, lol. Just had an idea:

We should point Chris to litecoin. He'd probably love that ("if bitcoin is gold, then litecoin is silver").

sry hazek, I didn't see this thread...

I never knew Chris Douane b4 he started making these videos, but i have seen his silver coins. Now that I see yet another youtube channel dedicated to selling silver by saying its the only commodity you can buy that will protect your money, now I am sure that gold/silver will fall further and further down. Because the truth is their are many many other options to protected your money, and gold and silver have been hyped up to the absolute maximum...   I do believe the dollar will lose another 95% of its value in the next 30 years, gold and silver were the first commodities to speculate what its value should be given that fact. you will see one by one the dollar will CRASH hard when compared to all other commodities.

bitcoin will go up much more then any other commodity, because its not about keeping up with inflation, its a new movement! The dash for digital cash 8)

:D

Another user blocked from Chris Duane's videos:

Chris is obviously a douche who can't take the truth. He is pissed because the price of bitcoin towers over silver. This all hurts his ELITIST ego. You will know what I mean if you watch his silver bullet silver shield videos where he basically casts out any uninformed person and hopes there is a financial collapse so the wealth transfer would go to the "informed" and basically fuck the rest of humanity.

The guy is a douche.

but what if he's right

That would only be possible if we had no facts to support our theories, we do however have plenty of facts. He is dead wrong I'm afraid. Dead wrong.

If he can't even figure out what a Ponzi Scheme is I would not expect him to be able to understand bitcoin.

then the dollar will crash, the power will go out, and the internet will self destruct.  :D

All these people bashing bitcoins are hedging their audience in case of a hypothetical system failure.

The hardest part about a hypothetical collapse of the Bitcoin's system (due to a 51% attack, broken crypto, scalability etc) would be these guys screaming: "Hey, I told you that it was a 'Ponzi' since the beginning!" or "It was hacked! There's always a CIA's backdoor!".

I, for one, would have a hell of a history to tell.

What Bitcoin taught me about money can't be taken away from me.

+1 emphasis mine

but he says the dollar is a stable currency because it's backed by the power of government.

way to shoot himself in the knee.

yeah, I +1 this, too. However unlikely I think a "bitcoin collapse" is, this fact that bitcoin "woke me up" soothes the soul.

I've taken the red pill, there's no way back.

It's funny because when it comes right down to it, that's the view of a lot of gold bugs.

No btc for chris the doubting Thomas means moar for us.

can't wait for my 1oz slave queens to arrive!   8)

dude will come around, give him time.

so a CIA investment firm have their dirty fingers in Bitcoin?  :o

could they possibly have stashed a little silver too? just in case? OMG silver is owned by the CIA !!!1!  >:(

I wrote him a pleasant letter pointing out that he could help people get rid of bitcoins and stack silver, and at the same time take in dollars directly, a perfect win-win for both parties. Just implement a bitcoin payment processor and there is literally no downside except for higher order volume.

He will find the light!

Brilliant!

I'd buy a liberty girl using bitpay just for the fun of it.

wtf. It seems Chris has received some bad press (hinted at in the video, maybe in relation to his bitcoin ponzi vids, dont know). Now someone put some overpriced silver offer on ebay using his name (not _in_ his hame, though).

I used to set up at the Lakewood Flea Market in Atlanta next to this guy who became an instant expect on everything once some mundane fact was brought to his attention.

During one show, I thought I would have a little fun at his expense knowing that I would get three days of entertainment value from it, considering he was within earshot of my booth.

He would always bark at the customers if they so much as look at a piece in his booth longer than two seconds.

On day one, he placed toward the front of his booth a handsome Art Deco piece, but priced way too high. I walked up to the piece, picked it up, then studied it, and was surprised he didn't bark at me as he would always do, no matter who the person was. He just watched me. I then asked of him if he knew what he had here. He stood still like a mountain waiting for me to tell him. So I did.

Paraphrased, I said, "What you have here is an Eastlake vase, probably one only about 30,000 produced by the famous Thomas Eastlake, making it a limited edition. You're price looks pretty good, but I would have to double check the price on the internet later."

He immediately said, "I know! I know! I haven't changed the ticket yet. That's the price I paid for it." Amazingly, the guy he brought it from used the same tickets and penning style as his to price the item.

He took the item from me, removing the tag, then placed a new tag on it that was exactly the same kind, and increased the price three fold. I couldn't wait for the fun to start.

Sure enough, within 30 minutes a well-dressed woman walked up to the vase, which now sat on a table by its lonesome at the very front of the booth. She was just approaching it when he barked out virtually all I just told him earlier. She looked at the tag, then turned and walked away. Since she was facing my direction, I saw her roll her eyes.

As she was clearly leaving his booth, he continued to bark at her, even lowering his price, and asking her to make an offer. During the course of the show, I did overhear two people dispute his Eastlake claim, correcting him that it's an Art Deco vase. He didn't want to hear that, for he knew the truth. Besides, he told one them, it's a limited edition. Only 20,000 made, purposely knowing it was a lie, for in his mind the truth was 30K.

Needless to say, at the end of the show he still had it, and even asked me if I wanted to buy at a lower price than the original one. I told him I couldn't because I had a bad show, even though things flew out of my booth and he could clearly see that I had considerably a lot less inventory than when I sat up.

Sorry for the somewhat aside, but this post, and a post above it a tad, somehow reminded me of this story.

~Bruno K~

interesting story bruno, and certainly relevant.

Bump, everyone please dislike this moron's video so he know he got backflashed from trying to push silver price.

Guy's not only a troll, but a troll that's possibly involved with Freemasonary (and of course TPTB). Look at the symbols he uses for his channel and in the intro to his videos.

He has banned me for saying this in response to his vids. Guy's not a very upstanding honest character.

He's known for suppressing opinions differing from his. "Truth never told", I guess.

The more I view his channel, the more disgusted I get. This Chris Duane guy and the rest of his Masonic gang are really a bunch of Neanderthals.

Just look at all channels he has listed under his homepage on youtube... masonic symbolism everywhere. Take a look at youtubers who write Anti-Bitcoin comments in Chris' videos... very easy to see a connection.

Chris dwaine called out - 3m of silver ?
