Just to chime in here...
Alex Jones was one of the first ones to fight a necessary fight. So it's cute for people to knock him, and rightly so, because his commericals are crap, and far-too-many, HOWEVER, he has long term credibility as to the fight for liberty.
True, he has a lot of lame aspects, but overall, since all the news media types are 100% worthless, he comes out much better than they do. CNN is dogshite, compared to Alex's show, for example. But yeah, he makes his money by taking "end tymes" advertizers and yeah, his commericals are utterly unlistenable, so I turn the volume down once I hear that "grand old flag" stupid music that screams in every five minutes when he breaks for commercial.
Also, he is completely lame as to the people who call in, he totally fails to hide his contempt for the general pool of listeners, I mean part of the fun is to listen to him mock his own audience. Haha, it's funny. However here again, Alex is better than 100% of the talk radio douchecrew, I cannot listen to any of the talk radio people, but I can listen to Alex. So take that for what its worth.
Now, as to bitcoins, recently he had Max Keiser on the show, and it was kinda like a car crash. You could tell that Max was using his time on the show, to promote his own style of ranting, and you could tell that this was getting on Alex's nerves. At one point he was being talked over by Max and he said seriously "Max, you need to clam down right now" like a parent speaking to a child. Haha, Alex can't step to the sort of level Max is on, so it was funny to hear him try and be all tough in that moment. Overall, he was accusing Max of being Satoshi himself, which is absurd. But the point is that here we have two loudmouth truthers who are in their own way, very irritating, and money hungry, but STILL better than the rest of the media and talk radio tards.
So who is better or more real? I mean Max has his show on Russian TV, which, well, has less commercials, while Alex has his show on Genesis commo network, which is very much a joke in itself. Which network is better, Genesis money-train or Russia today Marxist-train? It's hard to say, both of them are mostly good but also lots of bad.
In the end, I listen to both of these guys, but I notice that they really don't get to the real issues, and they both have considerably large blind spots. But as to bitcoin, Max seems to be all-in, which, I am a fan of bitcoin due to my technical ability to understand its beauty, but Alex seems to be hatin' on it, which I can understand since he's not tech-savvy and doesn't trust the shadowy origins of it. In the final analysis of this issue as of right now, I think the Max K. Alex Jones interview was like "Round One" of a radio/media title fight for Internet Realness Championship. ...The only way to really establish a better venue is to get a round table of these two, and a handful of other smart people, on the same table, to discuss it in the round. However, there is little incentive for either of them to step to a round table debate/discussion since it doesn't allow them to make money off their appearance. Soon, these larger conversations will have to be had, and it won't be interrupted by some idiotic fear based commercials like Alex's show, nor will it be on the slick "Russia Today" type broadcasts either.
Does anyone remember those great PBS round table discussion they used to have? I forget the name of them, but they had one about law, and there were a ton of great lawyers around the table, and such, having very honest discussion about the efficacy of the law practice, etc. They got to some really hard issues on those shows. The round table discussion on TV has been completely eliminated, so I don't really have too much hope for humanity getting the truth from the media. Basically Max and Alex are what we got, two broken horses with maybe 70% truth and flawed broadcast modalities. Still, like I said, they're better than the rest of the media bobbleheads.
