Max Kaiser is the same kind of sociopath as Bruce Wagner, I've said this when he first popped up and this is still my assessment.
But then the Bitcoin community is full of sociopaths, of different kind and each time one of them does their thing the resulting clusterfuck is priceless to watch.

To contrast and compare, a different kind of sociopath would be Mark Karpeles.

I think you just have to have your filter on when you listen to Max: it's information with a lot of showmanship.
No regular joe would want to watch a drab boring show on economics so the over the top stuff is pure entertainment.
But I also think his ideology is in the right place, a focus on exposing and overthrowing criminality (karmabanque, silver/jpm, bitcoin etc etc)
Still, I notice a lot of bitcoiners have begun to dislike Max since he started promoting Quark and Maxcoin (I personally didn't like when he started tweeting that he'll move the btc price up by $30 over the weekend - that was too much for me).
His bitcoin tweeting was quite inspiring and filled many with hope and then he has really gone off the boil with it.
I think those who bought silver as he promoted it during his 'bring down JP Morgan' phase felt similarly when he began his bitcoin promotion.
All in all, Max entertains and makes economics interesting, but like anything you have to do your homework.

Agreed. All talking heads are in it to make a buck. It's a television persona that caters to a segment of the population (ratings/views) and almost all of them would sacrifice principles to remain in the spotlight. Glenn Beck is the worst of them, IMO.

We are at $600+ $450+ on every non-GOX exchange. Since Bitcoin is the honey badger of cryptocurrency I give it a definite maybe - Fixed

In what world was he right? That the price will eventually go to 750-800$? Good prediction... very unique for bitcoin-holders

Max Keiser will claim he was right but Bitcoin is currently about $50 above where it was when the stupid mouthpiece cunt made the 'prediction', and in between then and now Bitcoin went to $400. Anyone who invested in Bitcoin on the strength if his advice probably sold at $500. The man is a fkn clown. If he isn't a clown then he is a crook.....either way, not to be paid any attention to.

hahahahaaaaaa
dude makes a statement on the 22 of Feb to predict btc to go to 700 - 800 "next week" and some how that should mean 'the week after next week'? hahahahahaaa
If he meant the week of May 3, the appropriate language likely would have been 'in the next two weeks'
Let's put it this way, if you took that bet, on May 2 you would lost your money.
he's in europe. right? so when his prediction posted on feb 22 (saturday) to twitter's servers, it was already the 23rd (sunday) where he is, so start of new week. we are now in the "next week", and only $90 short of his price point, but did hit $710 earlier on stamp, so only $40 away. that's pretty damned impressive, the guy is an oracle of some kind. very wise man.
