Bitcoin Forum

What does it for me is his attitude, the way he expresses his opinions as if they are the only ones on earth and everyone should abide by his beliefs. He might just be overjoyed about bitcoin..
Any other thoughts on him?
Not meant to be self moderated but oh well.

Oh and his voice is also annoying :P

This video just emphasizes his arrogance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvIaD8LryZ0

Max is a crazy SOB and I think we should be happy he's on "our" side  :D

He may come across a bit harsh at times but I think it's good to have someone with such reach and credibility as an advocate imo.

I think he's pissing a few people off at the moment multi-tweeting about the JPM patent. Looks like he's trying to drive down the price.

Max is an egotistical manic. His sole reason for existence is to be in the spotlight. I think his connection to Bitcoin is a negative.

Have a read of the link below:

+1 i think he is mad for trying to do this  -  pissing off tons of people for how much gain exactly? In his position with 10k BTC & solid media role i wouldnt be doing that for even $100k gain in 1 day.

Agreed.

Regardless of whether you like or dislike Max Keiser, we need people like him that are switched on with what is really happening in the world, not be just fed BS by the media etc.

we dont need him that much if hes going to pump & dump us fuck that.... plenty of people to fill his shoes

when Max pumped crap instamined coin Qaurk ,that pissed me off.

Likewise!

Definitely bad for the credibility of Bitcoin if he becomes the main proponent in the media spotlight. He certainly has a talent for picking up on trends but the way he promotes them is ultimately damaging, not only to the asset in question, but the people who buy into it  - eg, the "Buy Silver Crash JP Morgan" campaign.

He's how I first heard about bitcoin; I almost missed it too, and had to rewind, but I'd heard him mention it briefly back in Jan this year, and I thought, "What on earth is bitcoin?"

Then my life changed for the better!  So I couldn't dislike the fellow, even if he is a complete maniac :P

he is going to be on the Alex Jones show on Friday. These 2 combined is quite interesting, I hope they both start yelling at the same time.

Sounds like he fits right in :)

Current generation should reflect upon how far they have fallen in terms of individual quality when such an individual is touted as a significant voice in a group.

Usually that ends up happening with 2 arrogant people!

It appears nobody has read the link in Post#7.

Very insightful, thank you for pointing this out.  There's no celebrity whose subjects fail to empathize...

Exactly.

Case in point: Assange and Snowden. Put a bunch of limp-wrister internet keyboard children together and we got a nice pot of pathetic wannabe fuck up that folds as soon as they run into a brick wall.

I believe that crypto idea has potential. However, those 'supporting' this new idea, I am not quite so sure about. Especially the most vocal ones.

Remember, if the ones supposedly pioneering an idea are jackass kids, public will never be fully persuaded to take crypto seriously. People look at the 'who' just as much as 'what' and 'why', if not more so. We need leaders and visionaries with will and passion, not a bunch of internet life-dropouts talking about illuminati conspiracy theories.

hes actually very polite and restrained in that interview
you shoukd watch some of his other ones ,he gets a lot worse than that
he screams like a mad man on drugs about satoshi being jesus  in one of his other  broadcasts in ,london
but he does seem to have his facts down and theres rarely a negative question he cant answer with a positive

yep, actually he sucks but he is a good seller and spreads the word of BTC.

I like him as a character, and was a fan, but I'm a little weary and suspicious of him now, especially when it seems like/ has been alleged that he's being paid to pimp out certain coins.


Have you seen them both with The Artist Taxidriver? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFTyjca3BME

He's been on a few times.

He is a pumper, nuff said.  
Definitely not a man you want representing the potential currency/store of value of the future.

Max Keiser is the new Bruce Wagner (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjV3wdXDHDk).

I used to watch every Keiser Report episode back in my gold bug days (OK, I'm still a gold bug) and would laugh out loud when he started shouting about things.  But I stopped watching because I just couldn't take their smugness anymore (both Max and Stacy).  They seem to think they are above everyone.  Max thinks everyone is copying him, and he repeatedly claims that he invented virtual currencies.

The thing that annoys me most though is that he has this false technical understanding of Bitcoin, and still hasn't corrected it over all these years.  He said on his latest show that a bitcoin is a "precious number" and that there are "21 million precious numbers".  He honestly believs that each bitcoin is a unique and secret number.  In the past he's said that mining is about "finding prime numbers".  I wish he'd go and actually relearn about bitcoin because his understanding is totally wrong...

I was about to say Keiser gives me the exact same kind of creeps Wagner did.

I like most of what he says, but I can't dig his style at all.

That's how I first found out about bitcoin as well. I think he's an overall plus for bitcoin aside from the few instances where he can be a bit loony.

A bit of eccentricity can be good though. Gives people character, but obviously it can go too far sometimes. I think Keiser has the right balance. I first saw him on Ten o'Clock live (can't find any decent clips): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNK2NxSYVlE

Yeah he's a pain.

Russia Today are also lame. They have such an obvious anti-everything to do with the USA/UK stance it gets tiring. But then I realize that all news is biased, we just go with the bias we agree with. It's sad though, that I have to look to people like Keiser and RT to get something that begins to seem like an accurate interpretation of events - I know it's not, but it will be better than anything the MSM would let slip through the cracks.

Also for the record, I have learned a fair amount about the economy from watching the Keiser report, though most of the time I can't take a whole episode as his STYLE is very irritating.

I learned a lot more from watching the film "Inside Job" which explains in detail what happened from the 90s to the late 2000s in a the financial world. I can't recommend this film enough.

Here it is if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xyn3OnsH3o&hd=1

Spooder

i like what he says, but i also don't like his style. he just seems kind of like a douchebag. ultimately, i think he's in bitcoin more for himself, and he's just using anger from the general public to push bitcoin along and build his exposure.

But anybody with any sense should be anti-USA/UK.

I am also disappointed of his new attitude.
Supporting pumpcoins without intrinsic value is very egoistic and will confuse new users.

all haters:    make your own show

Max Keiser = Krusty the clown

It would be a very sad day, And I really don't want it to happen.
But I'm getting more and more convinced he is going to be assassinated one day.
Either by the banks or somebody else.
It seems that he has too much influence at the moment.

Even I would have smacked him in the face when he started pumping bluarck coin.
But I think he doesn't really own them and will people learn a lesson (about greed).
If you read his tweets carefully, you alway see: Gold, Silver, Bitcoin.
In that order, and noting else.

(I will dump the qrk before Bill Stilll enters his show for sure.)

True, but most of his viewers don't  understand the math so explains it in an easier way to understand.
Nobody understands current FIAT system as well. Just saying that Banksters need to hang is much easier to understand for most of the people.

Just read this article:
http://tpbit.blogspot.ca/2013/12/why-fast-maturing-altcoins-are-doomed.html (http://tpbit.blogspot.ca/2013/12/why-fast-maturing-altcoins-are-doomed.html)
The sense of the mining is to protect the blockchain and not to pump half of the coins in 3 weeks.

Nice article.
Hashing power already was one of my investment techniques
I just sold half of my qrks and sell the rest tomorrow.

Keiser is a bit wacky for sure, but at least he's getting Bitcoin's name out there. I can see how he grates on people though.

He always pissed me off, he just comes off smug.

I think if you become a Bitcoin millionaire and have been preaching about how great BTC is for years, then I think you're allowed a little smugmode  ;D.

Thats cool I was talking about before he ever mentioned bitcoin.

Well, he does have a lot of other things to be smug about as well :D.

People who have money in Quarks leave no stone unturned to count Keiser's qualities LOL
He's just pumping and dumping coins that he owns.

Krusty the clown is sometimes funny.
This guy , is sometimes trying to be funny , but it makes me cry.

max keiser =  the joker  from one of the batman movies  ;D

Please tell me that this "respect" wasn't because he shared the same ideas for an investment like you did.
Ltc and now Lambos :)

I know how people can easily change their view on something , that's why I was asking.
Although I read a lot of your post before signing up (lets cut 50% of the choo choos) I never came across specifically about Max Keiser , or I haven't look into it (my bad).

As an example , PP is evil, is bad is gonna go extinct , and when the the news come that one of the directors holds some bitcoins > pp is gonna embrace bitcoin , hurray hurray :).

About the ltc , lambo thing , considering it teasing :)))

I was talking about how peoples view of PP can change easily. And how people who hate paypal , when they get their first BTC they want to sell it for pp money forgetting how they have criticized pp in the past.

It was an example how the view of somebody on something can change. Just how your respect of Mister Quak here changed recently.

As for trading pp > btc , its' not a bad idea if you're the one paying with PP and the other send first :) , am I right?

Same here, i bought lots of quark and waited but lost half of the value...

Really need to do more research if one article is enough to scare you away from Quark. It is nice for Quark to be constantly monitored. It will just strengthen the community and give us more exposure.

Just saying it's nice that Quark is so fascinating to the people that has to spread FUD. If people didn't bash Quark then Quark wouldn't be as successful. It's you guys that help us grow. People that actually look and research the coin will find the truth. So keep spreading my friend. I encourage it.

I lost respect when he promoted quarkcoin

Same. Apparently he'll promote your coin too if the price is right.
