Max Keiser - "Bitcoin Millionaire" - Heralds Satoshi's Bitcoin as "Cyber Christ"

[Mageant]

What's really weird about Bitcoin is that it's one the most powerful and innovative tools threatening the current ruling system (led by the Fed).

And nobody knows the identity of the inventor.

He could just as well be an extraterrestial for all we know.

An ET who came to secretly and single-handedly liberate the population of Earth.

That would make a cool movie.  
(that would be the plot twist that would be revealed at the very end)

[mpfrank]

there's more to Max Keiser's words than most would believe.

According to anthropologist (and left-anarchist) David Graeber, money evolved from debt (not barter). The ruling class invented religion as an instrument of intimidation and debt collection. The words for debt and guilt are the same in most languages (like German "Schuld").

"[...] All major world religions grew in response to money, whether informed by the beliefs of people living in a money economy, or in reaction to its evils."

Now we have the savior of debt-free currency to deliver us from all sin.  

At least, until Ripple puts us all into debt to each other again...

The difference with Ripple would be at least that the debt is not centralized and not enforced by violence.

Terence McKenna used to believe that the internet is the savior. Close call I guess.

why am i surprised to find a fellow knowing terence mckenna on bitcointalk...? By all the fundamentals i should not be.

You really shouldn't be surprised

[DanielBTC]

And you know what, it's time to change time period. We are now in year 4. That's year 4 A.B. (after bitcoin). 

"4 A.B. (after bitcoin)!" Liked it! =)

BTC, DMT

Coincidence? I think not

How much does a jeweled self-dribbling basketball cost in btc?

Um, what coincidence?  You might as well compare BTC to ATX... both are 3 letters with a T.  As far as I can tell, that's all BTC has in common with DMT.

You just blew my mind. E.T. is short for Extra-Terrestrial. Why have i not thought about that before?

It halfway scares me that this guy has a million dollars in Bitcoin.  When Bitcoins are worth $50,000/ea, he'll be a billionaire.  A crazy guy can control a lot with a billion dollars...

If BTC forums are making threads about his media appearances, I'd say he controls alot already. Hard to trash him though when he's also an evangelist.

I'll pass on his 'CyberChrist' though. When he converts to CyberFSM, I'm on board.

BTC forums is making thread about his media appearance because it was funny and had to do with Bitcoin. Max Keiser has no control over BTC forums, otherwise.

So, one could say BTC Forums enjoys (or is controlled by) BTC... and humor.

That ET could have chosen something other than BDB to store the blockchain (or included a default configuration file) ! Stupid pleiadeans !
