2013-03-11 Max Keiser on Alex Jones show: bitcoin will go to $100,000

[molecular]

Ok, Max is really unrolling his media leverage now as he promised in Prague 2011.

Max admits he's a "bitcoin millionnaire" (from the context I infer he means he has a million USD worth of bitcoin, although it's probably not impossible he actually has a million BTC). He says there will be volatility, but it's not a bubble and the trajectory is up and Bitcoin will go to $100,000 (and potentially a million, he calculates this from Bitcoin potentially capturing 1-10% of forex transactions) and kill the FED.

EDIT:

This is what we've been waiting for, this is the cyberchryst moment. This is when the activists that have been pushing against the FED are going to win...

Did you just say 'Bitcoin is the CyberChrist' ?!?

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of the developer who created Bitcoin in 2009. I call him the CyberChrist because he potentially is so much of a game-changer, it's such a quantum leap away from the federal reserve system that is killing economies around the world. We are going to have a massive global coming to, a understanding, a revelation that finally we are going to escape the nightmare that is the central bank system.

This thing is a skyrocket and the price - yes it's going to be volatile, so keep that in mind, you're going to see a lot of price action - but the trajectory is up and it has the potential to go to a hundred thousand a million per bitcoin from the 45 it's currently at.

Ack. Is this "1776 will commence again!" Alex Jones?

Bit of a moron, really. But any publicity is good publicity, right?

with first sentence of OP that I just worded roughly 20 minutes ago.

so, someone at Max Keiser was pretty quick to find this thread (or the press thread).

It should probably be "CypherChrist" instead of CyberChrist.

It seems that AJ is gradually warming up to BTC. His tone is not as pessimistic anymore.
If AJ throws full support behind BTC, holy cow!
His website gets 1 mil. visitors per day. Just to think of all that auditory exposed to BTC!

Alex Jones kept saying that Satoshi Nakamoto is Max Keiser.

Another sign he's getting onboard, he labelled his interview with Max on Youtube as "Bitcoin to kill The Fed":

I have no illusions about the attitude of people who post comments on Youtube. I don't think it will affect Alex Jones' position.

YouTube commenters are stupid as hell.  I don't normally say "X group of people are stupid," but YouTube is the magical exception.  Some videos just attract stupid people like flies.  But I assume it's the same crowd you see around FB, who love the site, even as it sucks them dry for ad revenue.
