Bitcoin Forum

Who the hell is Max Keiser? Never heard of him before visiting this forums.

FYI: I'm not gonna bother to google him because he's not important, but who is he to the Bitcoin community?

He has quite a bit of BTC, and made a killing creating his own shit coin "maxcoin" then pumping it to his likes.
Summed up - Douche

he used to be a chill guy who would raise awareness about bitcoin , but now he turned into the biggest pump and dumper scammer there is .

He is like in to.0.1‰? of bitcoin hoader

He's the original developer of MaxCoin. Like Satoshi, he has apparently now abandoned the currency.

He is developer of maxcoin, though i wonder you didn't bother to search about him in google cz you say he is not imp but you bothered to ask about him here by posting a new thread. Whoa!

I had just enough positive curiosity left about Max Kieser to post a Bitcoin thread. After reading the replies about him however, my positive curiosity just went 20 units below 0.


**positive curiosity is a term that I invented, by writing it here on the forums, it makes me the sole owner to that phrase, and anyone wishing to use positive and negative curiousity, must include my name next to the quote. Thank You. :P

not sure what all the hating on Max is about..

hes a funny guy.

has a pretty unique view on the markets, and probably exaggerates his views for entertainment purposes.

i like his show, him and stacy make a good combo, its funny / informative.

Max said 'buy bitcoin' when they were $20 and again, at $200

Max is well worth following on twitter @maxkeiser and his 'Keiser Report' on RT or Youtube is worth a watch.

max keiser was an innovator in electronic stock trading

+1

Lucky early adopter.

he is an exbanker of the 1990's - early 2000's he then went on to warn people that the dollar will begin to fail, he has alot of real economic knowledge.. you know the real world type ou gain from experience, not the classroom drivel they teach you.

he now has a presenter job on the news channel RT. he seems eccentric and goes off the rails abit, but if you can get passed those quirky outbursts he does make alot of sense.

and if you dont know him enough to know the stuff i just said,then your opinions about him are one sided opinions based on other peoples comments. and not through research or hearing it "from the horses mouth"

although i dont condemn his actions, i also dont condone some of his actions..

he is a good guy with solid intentions and awareness.

He knows a lot about investment and bitcoin.

He is the CEO of Bitcoin ;)

He has significant holdings in Bitcoin, unsurprising given his stance on governments and the banking industry.

OP motto: Why do for yourself what you can ask others to do for you

I think he's great - as already mentioned, himself and Stacey make a good double act - he makes economics/finance interesting, and lets face it some of the subject matter could be a bit dry and boring otherwise.

Its great when I can listen to a US ex Wall Street stockbroker on a Russian TV programme being broadcast from London talking about China, gold and bit coin.  ;D

  It definitely isn't the BBC  ;)

I love listening to him and Stacey on youtube!

Watch this and you'll know him. Good show  :D

http://youtu.be/_onv9-fHoEc?t=9m33s

He is the man how can make the value of bitcoin high in minutes, his shows are very watched. So also he owns a lot of bitcoins!

Although Max Keiser is quite a funny financial pundit, he often promotes horrible financial decisions. Promoting people to continue buying at the top of bubbles (silver a few years ago, and recently (late-2013) with bitcoin).

I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually selling most of his holdings when he is most vocally hyping.

He was also telling people to buy BTC when it was $10...

Keiser went full retard in the 800-1200 zone... even the youtube commenters got sick of him mentioning bitcoin in almost every single show during the top of the bubble.

He obviously knew that it was the near term top, but continued promoting it to more suckers, so he could sell most of his stash.

Re: Who the hell is Max Keiser?


 He is yet another joke.


Caveat emptor

He is your father!

guess he stored them all in gox. a bitcoin "bank" kind of the opposite action to what he has been preaching for the last decade.. just hope he learns from this the true meaning of decentralization, and doesn't make the mistake again

OK, I will bite;-

1. If he is not important why do you want to know?

2. If you don't know who he is how do you know he is not important?

I ask because your question is sort of a "double whammy" of an oxymoron (sort of).  Did you even read responses... because he is so unimportant you did not want to know? :P

dude with a lot of bitcoins, random altcoin, random youtube show and apparently specialist when it comes to bitcoin. Some people don't like him .

The only guy that made a shit ton of money off Maxcoin, that's who.

I hate his voice hahahahah

Yes, it's just awesome. First I thought he is a kind of very selfish guy but I should admit I was wrong.

Meanwhile, everyone here and on reddit were perfect voices of reason, sober in their advice, and they all sold off their bitcoin minutes before Chinese regulators spooked the entire market, causing the massive sell-off, which was entirely predictable to any insider.  Oh wait, that's not what happened.  Everyone else was going "full retard" here, and no one could predict that the Chinese government would "ban" bitcoin, causing the market to lose a significant chunk of its value in hours.

He's a very knowledgeable economist with a background in electronic stock trading. He's very much a "Dollar Vigilante" type, and is a friend to crypto-currencies in general. He interview the Ethereum guy not long ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U12dOR51Lzs

On a scale of 1 to 10, his personality is set to about 17.5, but once you get past that, he's one of us.

Yeah.

I think one thing that's interesting about him is that he's really far to the left politically.  People like to paint bitcoiners (and gold/silverbugs) as all being Libertarians.  Max certainly isn't a libertarian.  He thinks big business, especially banks, along with crony capitalism, have created essentially fascist states that oppress and exploit the general populace.  And he doesn't think less regulation is the answer to that problem.

He's more like the Dennis Kucinich of the bitcoin pundits, where everyone else wants to be Ron Paul.

You can't compare Max Keiser (a former stock broker with advanced financial knowledge) to reddit noobs and bitcoin geeks who know nothing about finance. Anyone with the slightest TA skills could have spotted that ~1k was definitely a near term top and not advisable for new people to get into, yet despite this knowledge Max Keiser continued pumping the shit out of bitcoin. He is definitely predatory in nature and his history of pumping silver at the top and the recent Quark and Maxcoin scams clearly show this.

Ironically, Max often bitches about banksters pumping bubbles, but at least their analysts rarely advice people to get into the top of markets.

So if the price of BTC reaches 10k will max be a hero for telling you to buy at $1200? 

He has done a hell of a lot more for bitcoin awareness than majority of us here, that's for sure.

You should check you RT (russia today) on youtube. It's also broadcast in the UK, i think it's on sky, virgin, freeview and freesat.

A clown without the makeup.

So it was just a coincidence that the crash coincided with major bad news from China? The technicals indicated that this was bound to happen all along? Technical analysis can't predict a black swan.

yep i am highly suspicious of him being a pump and dumper.

it only requires 1k-10 coins to make the markets rock.. if you had 10k would you b putting in only 5-20btc as thats all the orderlines can cope with without creating walls/pumps. or would you trade your coins making profits?

anyone with 10k coins would not  just play with 5 coin and only play with a 10% swing per day. as thats only 0.5btc profit a day. which out of 10k coins is 0.0005%

he has admitted to past participation in pump and dumping schemes, he probably still conducts it. Maxcoin is certainly a good example of this. I always thought he was like a leprechaun. A little annoying geeky guy who is always shouting about his pot o' gold over the rainbow.

mostly he's just a "media personality" though. Bit of an alarmist twat too if you ask me.

He is the One  ;D

well, at least he admits it.. the funny thing is that his whole shtick is about going on diatribes against the establishment.. for doing something similar to what he does. i posted about him some time ago, and some of his loyal fans weren't happy with what i was asking.

I think some people take him a lot more serious than he takes himself.
Max gets on the troll box at mcxNOW once in a while and is perfectly fine with making fun of the perceptions people have about him.

I didn't know of him either till I read/joined here. I also didn't know who Doyle Brunson was when I first started playing poker. Ironically, I knew who Linda Lovelace was before I first starting jerking off. Can't believe she's been gone now for 12 years and 3 days, but who's counting?

A prize douchebag and btc 'expert'

I have seen a few interviews with him. He is interesting for sure, but a little over the top for my tastes. His extreme bullish predictions do more to hurt than help the bitcoin community.

i do admit that a lot of his statements resonate with bitcoiners.. but if i had to choose, i'd say his own self interest with money is by far his #1 concern.. everything else is just shit that helps him get there.

Dood is smart. Also funny.

There was a video I can't find max was talking about berneke? spelled wrong? having balls slapping his chin or something. It was fucking hilarious.

Edit:
Bernanke

This video contains that line, plus a few other choices Keiser-isms that someone made into a song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVbYwg8PxLo

He is talking about "Devil worshippers" while he is interviewing Leah McGrath Goodman (aka fiction writer posing as journalist for Newsweak), which I find amusing  ;D

where do you get that max silver?  I want an Max K silver coin hehe.

He's pretty good in analysing economics. You should watch the Keiser Report sometimes.

Those Maxcoin pumps were great. Also it was really profitable to mine for a surprisingly long period of time.

the choosen one who build MaxCoin LOL.  ;D

does Stacy Herbert do porn under the name Melanie Skyy?

He's abrasive but funny as hell. The way he lays out the scenario regarding HSBC (and other banking nonsense) is beautiful.
If you have any clue as to what went in with the banking industry then there is hardly a better emotion to express than outrage (he does that well ;-)

i kind of liken him to the alex jones of the finance industry. he says more sane than alex, but he's kind of a caricature who is anti status quo.. all while using some of the tactics that he's complaining about (for personal benefit). i think most of what he says is true and has merit.. i don't question that. i only question his ulterior motives.

Max who? never heard of him.

Not another one...

 Get a grip on reality...but beware, many are wrong there http://dollarcollapse.com/ too, but some are absolutely correct as the few of us where back in 2000 and to the present.

 A very few us were correct ever since 1980. But that's a whole other nut.

 Got's lot's of catching up some people.

 Programmed obedient worker slaves...debt slaves from cradle to grave and without nary a clue. omg...

Some of his shows are funny.

Just saw this video, oh man I had to turn the volume down several times fearing I may upset some neighbors with his crazy outbursts.

....Stop trying to evade

What does luck have to do with it?

Is this guy Keiser?

(BCX == Keiser) ? { printf("fucking awsome bro!\n"); } : printf(":(\n");

I remember one particular episode of his podcast many years ago, in which he explained perfectly and entertainingly the manner in which offshore slush funds are exploited by banks to obfuscate the bad debt on their books. That was Max Keiser at his best. He rarely would delve into explicating such practices, but when he did, he was very enlightening. I would pay a hefty amount of satoshis for an mp3 of that particular episode.

I also remember his really old website on which a grinning likeness of himself was being crucified. For professional reasons, it's understandable that he now dissociates himself from such dark humor, but that was the Max Keiser I used to enjoy. I was just starting my investing career back then, and it was motivating listening to his podcasts every week.

And anyone who's willing to take a chance by having Richard Stallman on his show deserves some kudos.

Above all, it's Max's comedic rants that steal the show. Smart guy, too.

Nonetheless, I stopped listening to and watching Max years ago due to his, and especially Stacy's, over-bearing political commentary—not that I always disagree, but I wish they'd focus more on informing their audience what's going on in finance, instead of making predictable snarky comments every minute. Come to think of it, I mostly blame Stacy.

Max Keiser made Bitcoin himself, isn't it obvious.   ;D

Max Keiser is one of the most interesting financial individuals I have listened to he is quite intelligent if not a bit eccentric
Is popular on RT Russian television and takes pride in his job advertising against the problems the USA does around the world
As a viewpoint he is quite rational and able to pick and analyze things and his views on Bitcoin are positive even if the rules on Bitcoin in Russia tend towards bans or high regulation.
That said he is an interesting guy would recommend watching the Keiser report since you can learn from it and be entertained.
