Bitcoin Forum

About 1 month ago, Max Keiser tweeted that Dogecoin was the Howard Stern of cryptocurrency (he hates Howard Stern). So in light of the fact that the coin that he endorsed turned out to be a huge scam by the devs, I'd like to reciprocate and offer him a title for his coin --

 "Maxcoin is the Enron of cryptocurrency!"

Anyone else out there that dislikes Keiser and his mega ego, please spread that title around the net for me.  I'm doing it also.

hahahaha so true!!!

Maxcoin is the shittiest coin i have seen in a while tbh.

The funny thing about maxcoin is that no one even mentioned what this coin should be in the future, no real world plans just pure pump and dump!

How dumb people can be? I understand those who mine it and sell, but why the hell people are buying this crap with it's imaginary price?
Hope you all gonna dump it right before max does, but lets be realistic - you won't make it.

Lol that's not A compliment

Seriously a massive fail -- one disaster after another with the overhyped launch, followed by chaotic initial mining, followed by two massive DDOS attacks on the two big mining pools.

Then the ypool disaster, where a fork in the network caused a large number of coins to be lost.

What's next? A 51% kill?

I hope so.

.

What's not a compliment?

Oh come on, it can't be any worse than coinye.

I think everyone just thought with his reputation on the line Max would make sure the coin was done right and have a decent development team.  Instead it is one of the more screwed up launches of all time.

to the hell...

Russia just banned Bitcoin.

Maybe since Max is a Russian celebrity and RT personality the Russians will adopt MaxCoin as the country's official digital currency?  :P

It was not meant to be a compliment. His tweet about "Dogecoin being the Howard Stern of cryptocurrency" wasn't a compliment either. He hates Howard Stern and refers to Stern fans as the "lowest common denominators". I'm not a Stern fan, but Keiser is a guy who has a mega ego and comes across as someone who thinks that they're better than most. The fact that he pumped and dumped Quark and now  endorsed the biggest scam coin speaks volumes about his character.

Where's BCX when you need him? :)

maxkeiser tweet: "upiqnow: Nova has 600k, MAX has only 100k. Nova has 1/100,000th hype; sitting at .015; you won't be able to chase Max when it stars arizing"

This statement pissed me off.. makes absolutely no sense and shows either how little max knows about crypto, or pump and dump.. probably both

.

I think we need a few most MaxCoin threads.  :P

People are kind of overreacting.  This is a middle of the road launch as far as crypto goes.  It was botched release, but there's nothing there to warrant being called "scam".

Recent coins such as Ultracoin, Mooncoin, and Coinye, combined the qualities of horrific release, plus overt scam all at the same time.

The biggest fear people have, is that through sheer random accident, this coin will make it to the top 5-10, and you'll be forced to look at Keiser's picture every day on the face of a coin, sitting in a throne with a crown on.

I will not invest only for ethics, but this coin go far, and may be the start of other "famous" coins but also believe that this character is bad for crypto in general.

When trading started, for every solo mined block (of 90~ coins which are mined every 30 seconds), you could make about a BTC. That's 1 BTC for every 30 seconds in coins mined. I wonder who got a load of those early coins, while everyone was struggling with that botched/shady release - the devs of the coin, perhaps?

+1

and of course the shyster himself, Keiser.

.

you guys do know who the dev were right..? on twitter?

No. Who were the devs?

http://rt.com/shows/keiser-report/episode-555-max-keiser-255/

Can you save me the viewing of his show and tell us who the devs were?

Are they someone we should know?

Shouldn't Max be busy hyping up silver going up to $50+ an ounce by the middle of 2013?


Oh wait....

Glad that so many people are seeing how much of a perp. Keiser is.

ypool fork ?

I missed that ! where can i read about this ?

Maxcoin is another stupid coin. But at least DOGE as a community that supports it, but Max, uhmm, I don't think that his followers could be a "community".

Ugh, this thread title is terrible.  Enron was a very profitable and very good company until the the greedy higher ups starting scamming, cooking the books and making the company seem like it was worth a whole lot more than it actually was.  The comparison to Maxcoin is a bad one.

MaxCoin was a very profitable and very good concept until the the greedy higher ups starting scamming, cooking the books and making the coin seem like it was worth a whole lot more than it actually was.


now do you get it ?

  

Maxcoin was never a good coin.

Honestly, what the hell did you expect if not a pump and dump?

Sorry I meant concept.. I fixed it for ya...

How the things changed over few nights  ::) Now maxcoin tullips going sooo high...
