Particularly if you know that you are going to be discussing bitcoin, why wouldn't you at least bone up on some basics? Or perhaps it was just an opportunity for both of them to get some press without having to actually do anything.
Did Max provide answers he would regard as correct?:
How many total bitcoin are there ever going to be in existence? 20,999,999.9769 , so slightly less than 21 million.
How often does the difficulty adjustment adjust? Every 2016 blocks, or 2 weeks, roughly
What’s the core hashing algorithm called? SHA-256
How often, on average, do new blocks appear? 10 minutes is the goal.
Is Craig Wright Satoshi Nakamoto? Lol. No.
I am not so sure if someone like Alex Jones wants a lot of press these days when it comes to money. He is completely screwed since he is denied to use bankruptcy as an emergency exit out of the mess he has created for himself. I also don't know whether Max Keiser benefits a lot from being associated with offering 350,000,000 USD in prize money for a Bitcoin quiz to someone like Alex Jones
Whatever the case is, I guess the idea was that Alex Jones would fail at the Bitcoin supply question I guess, Max Keiser would have probably come up with some different answer that he deemed right or wanted to hear (rounding error or whatever).
