He's an irrational nut job, that happens to be right about some things. His followers are likely to be irrational nut jobs too. Which means if he tells them "BITCOIN GOOD!", then this is good for bitcoin.

Some of his followers are probably loaded since they have been investing in gold way before even the dotcom era.

A small percentage of diverting gold into bitcoin can help build a good price foundation for bitcoin.

his followers are devoted and will probably buy in heavy with repeated BTC talk/education.

shit really dose happen
ice storm 1995

He has a huge crowd of insane followers. Having him on board is certainly good to convert some of the gold bugs into bitcoin bugs.

While I do not agree with most of the stuff Alex Jones has to say, I find tho some of his values and speeches pretty legit and at least entertaining. This is one of my faves:

Beautiful, if you ask me. Guy is at least passionate. So yeah, bring the free BTC publicity.

Hilarious rant!

Oh he could have invested in it 4 years ago and made 100s of millions of dollars, oh yeah, yeah sure.

When talking to the uneducated minds, use more emotion and stronger language to make yourself clear and gain authority. Most people aren't cryptologists you know, but they will understand it if someone says that Bitcoin is good and Dollar is bad while roaring, spitting and blushing.

Slightly derogatory but good advice. This is the exact reason why you never see politicians getting elected by appealing to the rational mind with intelligent arguments. Politics is being played out on the emotional-territorial level of me, mine, you, yours, top, down.

How is this HUGE exactly? It's just some crackpot, not Obama.

Did you know that huge is a relative term? What is more, it's also a subjective term. If this topic or anything that I have indicated here somehow upsets you then it's your description of the world to blame. Seek for the reason of your irritation from within yourself. Something that has well established its presence and is a part of you is trying to defend its stance.

Sorry providing false information is to lead the gullible in the wrong direction.

No apologies needed. The question is --- how the hell will the reptilians profit from the FUD Alex Jones spreads about economic collapse and police brutality? All it does is undermining the USA government. If their goal is to provoke the American people to riots and maybe even revolution then I would understand but how could they profit from a revolution? Of course there are these FEMA camps already waiting for the people so my theory could be plausible but the motive is still unclear to me.

Establishing street credibility. One cannot always act and be taken seriously.

In any case, I see some discontent from our discussion. I think I have posted enough information that I wanted to on an "Alex Jones" thread on Bitcointalk. You are welcome to discuss on cluesforum.

Hahhaahhahah! I'm starting to like Fonzie! Still, no need to be rude.

I think it is good that Alex Jones is spreading the bitcoin gospel to his followers. Some of those folks surely don't like the banking system and will embrace bitcoin. Alex seems to be a nutjob but sometimes entertaining Cheesy

If he can manage it to get new money into the BTC system(which me might be) than he is welcome of course.  Smiley

When you are working for the government propaganda machine, you have no room to change. To change, you have to disappear and not shill for them endlessly.

I urge you not to be immediately dismissive. Even 4+ years of posts in this very BTC Talk forum still hold tremendous research value. They are not irrelevant because they are old or it is a forum. Cluesforum itself is all about teaching you not to take what everything you read in media, watch on TV, hear on malificious government run alternative radios without a lot of skepticism first. It takes a long time to assimilate information from there (depending on how much brainwashing one has gone through watching TV or by the media in general), but you are all the better for it.

This isn't about just BTC. See if it helps you open new doors of information, one that helps you make better decisions not just financially(BTC ot otherwise) but in an overall multifacted way.

So if Alex Jones for example is a double agent and what not, it doesn't change the fact that what he is talking about is plausible. And even if from time to time he is spreading false information, it makes you think in the right direction. Of course one should seek for their own truth but by watching random AJ's videos I'd say he is talking truth. It's weird though that he is mostly ranting and raving about economy while there are NASA and Hollow Earth secrets that should also be revealed and paid attention to.

Sorry providing false information is to lead the gullible in the wrong direction. I think I know what your stance is, and I had susepcted it to be in any case. This isn't the cluesforum so I am not going to be adamant and just say hopefully my posts have led a few people to what I consider to be one of the most important forums on the web and understand the implications of an Alex Jones type phonies now endorsing Bicoin.

Alex Jones is not the reason why it is crashing, but confirms that at least at some point this was all intended to be controlled by tptb. Julian Assange/Wikileaks etc is all a farcical comedy. Read the 18 page thread completely to understand, especially simonshack's posts http://www.cluesforum.info/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=486

Alex Jones and other truther nuts are nothing but gatekeepers and act on behalf of the government in order to lead the inquisitive to their "gates" of confusion where you are supposed to be happy revelling about having freedoms and unearth government "conspiracies". Their whole point is to shield and withhold the real information about how tptb go about executing covert/psy ops which is mostly through media manipulation and TV fakery.

Would be a pretty big deal to find out one day about Satoshi's origins, and may he have bailed out when farce got involved with BTC, but that the tptb want the gullible and sheeple to now adopt BTC is without a question the motive. Most people don't even know about Alex Jones and those who do have long been blind sighted by the snake oil nut theories he endorses to tickle the conspiracy fancy of an average Joe and take them down the misleading path to confuse them even more.

Alex Jones is a lying media shill, a sockpuppet of the government and a disinformation agent. If you are a BTC fan, this is not a good sign, sorry.

I'll never in a million years understand why so many people freak out that this guy sells things.  Do you freak out when you see commercials advertising on tv every five seconds?  People who whine about that lose all credibility with me and I assume they are just trolling.  Their not complaining about the crap fud new stories on the television and their prescription drug ads but but if some guy on the radio sells coffee...  look out!!

So I take it you are a fan...

I wasn't reacting so much to him trying to make some money off the brand he has created but the ridiculous romancing that was in the copy about the coffee.  He makes some interesting points here and there but its so latent with extremely biased propaganda that its too hard to watch.

InfoWars now accepts bitcoin in their store and what not. Anyone who knows what a tinfoil hat propaganda machine that Alex Jones is should know that this is just a beginning. This is all positive propaganda for Bitcoin and I'm sure he will refer to Bitcoin in the future a lot. Same happened to Christopher Greene from AMTV a while ago and I hope David Icke will soon start promoting Bitcoin too.

Never heard of Alex Jones or info wars.  Whatched the one 9 minute video on bitcoin.

Couple first reactions.
He prints out websites on paper and uses them in his "new cast" which apears to be a prototypical far right biased faux journalism.  The last minute of his 9 minute video is a about his own branded coffee.  "...for more than a decade my favorite coffee has come from the high mountains of southern mexico.  Where the chiapas farmers grow their unique shade grown arabica bean.  We have now managed to secure these sought after beans in a highly customized blend..."

What a load of crap...  what little credibility I was willing to give him quickly vanished when I heard his plug for his "Wake up America Patriot Blend Coffee"

Lost even more credibility once I looked at his other stories on youtube like:
"Why Obama Brought Ebola To America: Special Report"
"Obama Launches Border Crisis To Destroy America"
....

So much crap

true, he isn't the most credible person, sure he hocks his own products on his own radio show(like every celebrity), but you can't deny his following. and they're a lot of fairly wealthy government hating people who would love bitcoin if it would hurt banks.

anyway, as I said earlier, we need dumb people to like Bitcoin too and Alex is doing a great job spreading the word. Dumb people understand slightly different language. Just because you are pretty intelligent to see how comical this Alex Jones figure really is does not change the fact that there are people who actually listen to him. It's about time for Bitcoin to stop being a nerds' currency. When talking to the uneducated minds, use more emotion and stronger language to make yourself clear and gain authority. Most people aren't cryptologists you know, but they will understand it if someone says that Bitcoin is good and Dollar is bad while roaring, spitting and blushing.

I have personally sent Christopher Greene and David Icke e-mails about accepting Bitcoin donations a couple of years ago but they did not respond. At least now we are finally seeing progress in the tinfoil hat community Tongue

It's funny though how Alex Jones is a bit butthurt about not getting into Bitcoin 4 years ago:

Next bull run will be driven by the non-tech-savy-tinfoil-hatters, people such as Rusty Shackleford:
