I don't know how much of this is actually real, but this might be good news for Bitcoin.

It's full of scare tactics and stuff that appeals to the tin foil hat crowd, but if you find it credible, perhaps putting some money into Bitcoin is wise?

Crap like this is on the level with "buy my book and earn a million in 3 moths". I'm sure this guy offers payed subscriptions.

isnt he the guy who uses game theory algorithms to predict the future? Maybe he just looks like someone else im thinking of.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

Newsmax is always pumping "the end of the government is nigh" crap, mostly extreme-right propaganda which is generally pro-corporate and pro-money while being somewhat anti-government (read as: "textbook fascist" in the academic sense). However, some of the things they put out are actually credible and one of their health alerts in fact saved my life by informing me about what was really happening. I haven't tested anything else.

The question I have is how much of this could actually be real... how could anyone actually validate any of the stuff that this dire prediction is based on? They talk about evidence, but they don't really give enough information to independently validate any of it, that I can see. I could be wrong, of course.

If they have a large enough viewer rate, they could invest in some bitcoins prior to telling their minions how wonderful it is.

Said it would be the most destructive in history twice in a row.  Some truth but this is for fear mongering.

Once the dollar is gone we will have equality.

Do not fear an anarchist society, it is world peace.
