I suspect he made this rumor up but that that's a good thing. Netflix sees the overwhelming positive reaction and suddenly the rumor becomes true. A nice self-fulfilling prophecy.

I wonder if Bitcoin's price will rise? I reckon Keiser is just trolling.

He's losing credibility as an economist if he keeps chatting shit though. I guess he doesn't care, but still...

I guess he doesn't care, but still... well his fans don't care.. as long as he says what they want him to. that's how extremism works. that's imo how the media works; you don't need to say something substantial or true (though he does say some things that i agree with), you just need to catch the attention of people.

Max keiser is a very successful troll, what else do people do when they're rich from bitcoin in their freetime? Bitcoin will rise, and it will fall...wait, he predicted that!!!! max is a prodigy ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) One must leave plenty of room for doubt whenever Mr. Keiser provides us with such "hints," but, nonetheless, we need a thread to discuss the possibility: https://twitter.com/maxkeiser/status/419497007678382080On Reddit, people are wondering about the "recurring billing" problem with bitcoin. But I'm thinking "view on demand"! There would be a "View Now" QR-code next too each movie and when you pay it in bitcoin it immediately starts to stream. No account required (or an automatic cookie-based account similar to just-dice.com). Keiser is going to be the next Fontas. maybe he is fontas Or maybe he is Satoshi? Or perhaps even both? nah I think Charles Lee is satoshi The Litecoin inventor? ya .. I think it was invented by the Lee's brothers and backup by wealthy Chinese people. Seriously? Alex Jones thinks Keiser is Satoshi BTW, but he's a fucking idiot. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Normally i would only quote the relevant comment, but for visualization purposes i just wanted to point out how ridiculous quoting every comment of a conversation is... Please quote me ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

What about his "fans" before he started hyping up Bitcoin? He's not or wasn't just an unofficial Bitcoin spokesperson until fairly recently, but an economist first and foremost. He'll probably fuck up his mainstream credibility if he keeps spreading FUD and hanging out with Alex Jones etc.

The payment protocol improvements for 0.9 should be ideal for helping Netflix adopt Bitcoin.
How. Will they be able to set up recurring payments? The customer would need to be reminded and approve renewal, but the payment request makes the process more straightforward and flexible. https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0070.mediawikiWallet improvements would be required for fully automated regular payments. That's true, it's a step forward but we need a better contract implementation, like holding funds somehow (i.e. break the contract at any time if the balance of a given address if lower than the next subscription value) Max Keiser is losing lately, not really sure about credibility anymore after quark flop

he also has a nice stash of cryptocoins that he has been pushing. that's what makes me think he's just in it for himself.
