As much BTC as Max has, why would he give a fuck to spend all this time just to get some meager pump and dump returns? There are plenty of other chances to just fuel a coin of his choosing, meow, without wasting his own VC and time. Max is a little more intelligent than Fontas, If he's going to fuck us over its going to be something more clever than another moon coin. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater yet.
Max is in the news business and he not only creates news, he makes news himself, ever since the credit crisis he has been on a crusade against the banks, that of course caused the credit crisis, when they gambled away their clients money, they had to be bailed out with taxpayer money and newly created FIAT. So I would say max does seem to have a mission against the banksters.
But at the same time I have no doubt he is profiting himself from his mission. when he was promoting gold and silver when the credit crisis hit, at the same time he was doing that he had many referal links on his site to companies that were selling gold and silver.
In those days he was running a buy physical silver, crash JP morgan campaign and well the links to where to buy the physical silver were right on his website, with his referral in it of course.
It seems when the gold and silver market was at it's all time high, Max switched from gold and silver to bitcoin, he made no secret about it that he owned a lot of bitcoin himself, he has even said that it feels good to be a bitcoin millionaire.
He then started to promote other cryptocoins, first litecoin, then Quark , then coinye coin, when he first announced keiser coin, he said something about a race between coinyecoin and keisercoin. He then went on to kittencoin and set it up for a race with Dogecoin, so he was also promoting Doge at the same time.
I have little doubt in my mind that Max Keiser infact owned all of the coins before he started pumping them and that he is doing 2 things at the same time, one he is on a crusade against the banksters as he calls them and two he is profiting form it himself while he is doing that, sometimes I doubt whether he really believes in the success of his crusades against the banks and that he might just all be doing this for his own personal gain.
Like why would Max launch a new coin for a little pump and dump ? well he creates news, that is also his business, like hey launching a new cryptocurrency on TV, with the "LIVE " generation of the genesis block, that failed by the way.
Max is a trained wall street trader with loads of experience in pumping and dumping, old habits die hard I guess.
The thing is though he has a big audience, he is on Russia today and Iranian TV and he has the ability to sell cryptocurrencies to a lot of people and thus has the ability to pump and I have no doubt this coin will be pumped big time even more then quark.
So If I see an opportunity to mine a good deal myself, I am not going to let it pass, like if I can get my hands on a GPU miner, If there is not going to be A GPU miner for me to use, I think I am going to have to pass on this coin, because with the couple of CPU's that I have I don't think I am going to do well competing with the botnets, I have had that experience before and it was just not worth it.
