Interesting. Keiser/Herbert seem to have been fairly mute on Bitcoin after some early and generally supportive mentions. I sense that it alienates some of their PM-centric friends and detracts from the 'buy silver' campaign (by competing for speculative funds of course.) Or maybe they are savvy enough to have noticed the likely decline and wanted to wait for more opportune timing so as not to tarnish their reputation (which is pretty stellar IMHO.)
This could be a fairly big deal I would suspect. They have quite an audience at this point, and the audience is already pretty aware of and agitated about the banking shenanigans. Also, I imagine that a fair fraction of the audience actually has both some bucks and some gonads. If some of them took an active interest I could see it being somewhat bullish for Bitcoin.
Good points.
I'm hopeful that Keiser will help build a bridge between the precious metals camp and the Bitcoin camp. There is no need for antagonism between the two - precious metals and Bitcoin complement each other beautifully, each filling the weaknesses of the other.
Some people say that gold tends to be the best form of money.
Others say that gold is the ONLY real form of money.
The former group will be much more open to Bitcoin - as the new market entrant doesn't preclude their strongly-held beliefs. The latter group might never give Bitcoin a chance, unfortunately. Interestingly, those who understand WHY gold is a great form of money should be able to figure out the allure of Bitcoin. The specific properties to each make them both excellent money - one sitting in your vault in the physical world, the other sitting in your computer in the digital world.
And in both cases, far better and more moral than paper certificates inscribed with the fiat stamp of government and backed by the threat of violence.
