What was Max Keiser before bitcoin?
Max has debated vs Schiff on this topic I think but before Bitcoin Max was in orbit of the financial crisis calling for the fall of all major banks as corrupt and no longer productive. He has always been an animated fellow in this regard
Years back he was a stock broker and probably in the employ of one of these major banks so he has at least seen the business from the inside also and knows the score.
Also I think before Bitcoin I can remember him advocating silver coins and the rise of this as a replacement for FIAT, crash JP Morgan if you remember that slogan and that bank had a short on silver but if I remember right they also owned a majority share in a silver mine so really this was a time based arbitrage and price in market vs reserves in the ground, etc.
Silver did go from single digits to $50 around the same time gold more then doubled, played perfectly there was a very profitable trade there but sadly it reversed right back down. 8 years later we are just entering back into a precious metal breakout scenario I think, its a been a while but decades is how these mines move.

We were developing a trend that should have been sold within a couple years, so yea it was ok to buy as trader or if you were ok with holding it 10 years. Just so long as nobody has unrealistic expectations I dont mind Max Keiser but all the same people get carried away thinking it'll always be clear skies ahead if you buy some inverse dollar asset when its often not and he doesnt help in that regard.
I dont find him realistic of the whole picture and the interaction between finance assets across world trade.
