I've been wondering for a while whether or not we should come up with a formal response to the inevitable fire & brimstone evangelist argument that Bitcoin is the global currency of end times. Maybe it's not too late.

Of course, if we even argue against it, it could just fan the flames and lead more people taking the position that Bitcoin is some type of antichrist currency.

And with all the mystery around its creator? Good luck with that.  Roll Eyes

In a new Video Alex jones stated that he believes crypto currency is the way of the future, however Bitcoin specifically is a creation of the NWO global elites due to its shadowy origins and is just a bubble that will ultimately fail. He also advises against investing in it.

It's unfortunate in my opinion that he decided to take this stance on Bitcoins, as he's one of the most popular Libertarians out there with 10's of Millions worldwide followers which could've helped Bitcoin in terms of promotion.

Alex is often over dramatic and sensationalizes everything, as well he is often too loose on the facts.

Nevertheless, he is very much correct in what he said in this video...


Anonymint I will read your breakdown this week, I have seen bits and piece but I am still too ignorant to have an opinion. But not too ignorant to have a question. Anyone paying close attention to the current social dynamics knows we are in a mess like nothing we've ever seen, both as a species and as living people. Some of it is amazing, some horrifying, all bifurcating into two worlds that may or may not be able to coexist.

I have spent the last 5 years in deep contemplation about how to change the monetary system to make it suck less. Not for any personal gain but because I just couldn't play along after 08. I wonder how it all worked this long and how to get rid of it. So if bitcoin is doomed... what else is there? Who else is doing anything genuinely disruptive to monetary technology? This whole board, mostly absent of right/left agitprop circus and highly intelligent (relatively at the very least) idealists building out something that challenges the existing fubar control structure.

If bitcoin vaporized today, what's next? All rally behind Alex Jones and take back the hall of Eccles with a bullhorn?

What? What else is going on in this space?
The next step would be to remove the monetary system and work together as a one living being.

I am living proof that this isn't actually true. Not smug about it, there are plenty of other people who are too.

In the sense that you know nothing but still like it?

I'd like to propose the following as "Schiff's Law", and suggest that it applies to Alex Jones and all such publicly-known commentators.

And many of us oldtimers would claim that is it still true, even in your case.

Alex should really be educated about what Open Source means and that because of that fact it is completely irrelevant who created Bitcoin - the creator has now no impact or relevance to the functioning of the system.

How would this make Alex Jones profit?  That's all he cares about.  Education will not help him, except possibly to let him know that he is correct in opposing Bitcoin from his own self-interest.  It endangers the profits from the creepy scam artists who buy all the ads on his disinformation show.

supporting bitcoin increases the price sooner as more points of usage increase interest and demand. he could have spun it that it is ANTI-Gov, but I think he's not one to retract his message or change his mind.

encouraging bitcoin adoption speeds up the discovery process for better or worse. what if pushing it to the forefront of banks/creditcards/govs to respond to it somehow actually lowers the valuation? that serves him greatly.


So at this point his game is to trash the fuck out of it, hope it lowers in price while secretly investing in it. it just sounds like someone who isn't an early investor trying to lower valuation.


lets look at his track record: how many "conspiracies" has he revealed to any effect whatsoever on the world, bringing anyone to justice, improving anything?

Permanently yelling through a megaphone is his position, he is as bad as the governments he claims to be 'disrupting' in that he needs the rabble to exist so he can rouse them.

alex jones speaking against bitcoin is a huge vouch for it.


the bit about "cointelpro" that people don't seem to grasp is that the logic folds on itself. the messages are so confused and jumbled that you basically shed/ignore any propaganda and rely more on facts. The idea is to steer you towards agenda loaded/biased facts, I suppose, but really it just makes you doubt everything as a skeptic and immediately see people's biases and agendas.

aka, alex jones as a rabble rouser against something quickly turns into "well maybe he's pushing an agenda 'they' want him to push of confusion and uncertainty."


Conversely, it's pretty hard to argue with the bitcoin whitepaper and bitcoin itself captured a vast amount of mindshare with basically zero media assistance.

One thing that I find strange. Alex says he is against bitcoin and think it is a cia scam or whatever.
Why do he have bitcoin commercials on his show when he says he only have commercials for things he is 100% behind?

Edit: he runs commercials for https://cloudhashing.com/

Long-standing anti-establishment pundit types are fairly universally pissed off with Bitcoin.

All these kind of people have ever done is talk, then here comes along an invention that actually represents the single greatest concrete advancement in antiestablishmentarianism / anarchy, and none of these windbags had anything to do with it.

Ron Paul said yesterday exactly what I expected him to say:

Ron Paul says he was misquoted in the past on Bitcoin and he downplays the hype around Bitcoin:

http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2916084919001?cmpid=cmty_twitter_fb

The way he put it, Ron Paul said he has doubts about digital currency in general, so AnonyMint Coins are in the same category for him.

Alex Jones accepts major credit cards. You know, the ones issued by banks.

Don't want to use credit cards? He accepts checks, too.

You know, those ones accepted by banks.

Alex Jones is a joke. You know, the kind created by governments to make those who are suspicious of governments look absolute idiots to the general public by association.

I advocate the Zeitgeist Movement & Venus Project.
All money is a bubble and globalization/control conspiracies are more likely to be more accurate than less. What Jones and many others fail to realize is that the invalid monetary game itself is the source of the vast majority of "evil" they see in the world, and instead mis-attribute it to whoever happens to be running the world that day. End money and you can end this terror and fear.
