This is just awesome/hilarious... Max Keiser on RT goes wild for Bitcoin. This comes after he visited here in NY and met with some of the local Bitcoiners, including Bitcoin Jesus. He's now a raving disciple :)

"Only Satoshi the Bitcoin Cyber-Christ is going to save us." -Max Keiser

Oooo, Max.  Gotta love his zaniness.



Edit


"Christ is BACK!  And he's got BITCOIN!"


ROFL

Good old Max. Whatever you think of him, you've got to admit he tells it like it is (idolatry or no!).

I remember sitting a few seats to his right at one of the lectures at last year's Bitcoin conference. He is more than just a convert for sure. :)

I love this guy ;D  He gets excited about something and doesn't bother to hide it.  But that makes him honest; he feels strongly for Bitcoin, and rightly so.

Max has been talking about bitcoin on his shows for a while now, this one was good. He also pushes the "Silver Liberation Army" as a way to kill off JP Morgan, if its feasable or not i don't know. You can even get Kieser silver Oz rounds from various mints.


Anyway he's a legend.

Your avatar is both scary and awesome

It was awesome! LOL

Ha ha thank you ;D  The full version is on my digital art thread :)

Erik please tell me you have some more backstory on this! Was he up all night? He seems like he is a little out of it.  ;)

I've watched this segment 4 times today, and I love it. Other people are going to think he's nuts but I'm thrilled to see Max happy for a change.

he looks REALLY cold lol

Sounds like he is well positioned. Somebody please audit his wallet security measures ;)

Haha I think he was freezing his ass off in the video, and maybe had to pee also, and maybe was wired on coffee.

i think the point was to capture the Wall St skyline in the background. i think the cold made him a little freaky.  :D

Some sort of "Hell freezing over" allegory? :D

someone should make a short video from where he grabs stacys arm and says "did I mention how good it feels to be a bitcoin millionaire" thumbs up.

awesome video  ;D

as i recall, it was Stacy who was the one who had to convince Max about Bitcoin.

he is definitely on the money when he says Bitcoin can be worth $1000 to 100,000 or more.

just imagine it. don't EVER think that 7 billion people will all be using Bitcoin. but take a more reasonable number.

21 million people (for simple maths)

if each of those people wanted to store $1000 of their savings as Bitcoin... boom a average price of $1000 per coin AT LEAST(once all coins are mined. or currently nearly $2000 at current circulation amounts)

so ill end this by saying
I'm glad i am a Bitcoin..............

I wonder what Max Keiser will be saying if Russia were to take a stance against bitcoin....I'm sure his spiel would change to something like "Bitcoin designed by evil fatcats in Washington blah blah blah blah..."

believe it or not RT isn’t that bad, there are occasional pro Russia type propaganda pieces, but they do report all the same Russian scandals and alike that the BBC n that cover, they don’t censor like the BBC do that’s for sure.




I've been thinking about this, what if 21million people wanted there wages paid in bitcoin???

or what if 100million people just wanted to use bitcoin for online shopping? (apparently e-commerce is worth 1trillion USD)

Then think about the money in the black market, and wall street types that may find uses for it... big potential I think.  ;D

Have you actually ever sat down and watched RT for any length of time (ie a couple of hours).  It's absolutely 95% propaganda garbage, with the 5% being about ridiculously inconsequential local Russian news pieces, such as a donkey hot dog eating contest attended by 50 people dressed in burlap stacks in Siberia.

EVERY story mentions the US or UK or EU in a negative manner.  Even stories that you start off thinking "at least this story can't be about the US" end by being about the US.

Story: Earthquake in Haiti; US fault.

Story: AIDs in Africa; US fault.

Many hotels here (in Thailand) have really crappy free satellite service, so whenever I'm on holiday I end up getting stuck watching RT.  The stories are so ridiculous that I watch it for the laughs.

I'm not saying any other news services are great and true, but RT is straight up garbage.

I don't really like his phrasing "the dollar has crashed 90% against bitcoin."  It makes it sound like dollars have only 10% of the value they had.  This isn't true, and the dollar hasn't crashed.  The dollar is still the relatively stable base of comparison.  Bitcoin skyrocketed against it, is the proper way to phrase it.

It's great to be excited about something and bitcoin is doing really well; I don't think it's smart or necessary to promote it by pretending some sort of doomsday is scenario is playing out with fiat.

Totally agree. Very silly to say "dollar has crashed 90% vs. Bitcoin".  I hate dollars and love bitcoin, but foolish statements like that don't help anything... it's like if you were trying to find the most skewed, distortive, misleading, clearly biased statistic you could come up with, this is what you'd use.

Well, America wanted to be the center of the world...so now it is :P Along with its older cousins.

He always was, was he not?

Great setting, out there in the cold ... gotta love that ;).

If we all agree on that Eris is Satoshi I shall become religious and consider starting to pray every 23rd block.

But that's what it did. In that or any other phrasing.

Please check out some charts available everywhere.

Awesome Principia Discordia reference :D

I 1st learned about bitcoin from his program.~~ Thanks , Max.

Same here!  :D

No I don't think so.

I guess he would just walk on to the next possible platform he can get to say what he wants to say. And it's worth it.

View him as an artist who describes what's going on economically probably nearer to factual reality that your average XXX-anchorman going "everybody's doing great and everything is under control".

Joe

now that's really interesting. She seems like a very clever lady (admit to a slight crush) and comes up with some extremely perceptive insights, I wonder if it is her who has figured out how they are to secure the bitcoin millionaire's fortune?

NB: it doesn't seem advisable to advertise if one has that kind of wealth tied up in bitcoin unless you are A-grade confident of your computer security.

Max is great. First learned about bitcoin in his interview with Jon Matonis.
