max keiser trolls all the time.. he does have a vested interest after all. at this point, i tend to believe that even the winklevoss brothers are less suspiciosu than max.
He's losing credibility as an economist if he keeps chatting shit though. 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.
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.
that's okay, he can make new extremist fans.. and if not, he'll just be a controversial character. either way, there he has plenty of willing eyes and ears. at this point, though, he's probably made at least $10 million.. that's not including the amount he has probably pumped and dumped, and re-bought.
