Max Keiser: A trader, writer, TV host, and mastermind

Max Keiser is a longtime crypto advocate and educator who has advised people to buy BTC since the price was $1. However, the crypto community pays scant attention to Max’s advices. But why?

Max Keiser is a well-known person in the crypto community. He calls himself a former trader, who turned a journalist and a Bitcoin maximalist.

This generally corresponds to some phases of his bio. But we should note that Max is a former professional stand-up comedian and a not-so-successful founder of the hedge fund Karmabanque, which sought to short shares of global companies.

Max is reputed to be strongly anti-centralized. In one interview, he described himself as a government archenemy who stands up for anarchism. His every speech in the media blames the Central Banks and the Capitol for corruption, global financial collusion against taxpayers, and cryptocurrencies.

He attributes any negative event happening in the world to poor adoption of cryptocurrencies. When commenting on the arrest of Saudi Prince Al Waleed in 2017, Kreiser called him “a poster child for why you should buy Bitcoin.”

It should be noted that Max has enough fans of his talent.

Is Max Kaiser really such a staunch anarchist and unmercenary enthusiast he claims to be?

On the one hand, he is an advocate of cryptocurrencies and an educator who has advised people to buy BTC since its price was $1. That means that Max has great intuition in these things.

On the other hand, he often made forecasts about BTC's soon rise, which were not confirmed by anything except his blind faith in the cryptocurrency. But whenever Max was pointed out to his erroneous predictions, he insisted that it wasn't his forecasts that were bad, but the regulators that prevented the forecasts from coming true. And when journalists asked him why he was actively shorting Bitcoin at that time, he claimed that nothing of the kind had happened and that this was a slander of his detractors.

Keiser often says he is open to any cooperation with crypto-startups and is willing to give advice to newcomers making their first steps in the market.

However, his assistance extends mainly to the people who are willing to spend $10k or more on cryptocurrency. That's why he actively promotes the Swan Private app, which can automatically convert large amounts of US dollars into BTC, and transfer the crypto to Swan's vault, managed by his team.

Max Kaiser does things in a big way. That's why he quit his BBC show a few years ago, saying that the financial incentive for talented journalists was too low. Now he and his wife talk about the conspiracies of the global financial elite and Wall Street's ties to drug lords on his Russia Today program the Keiser Report. He also doesn't mind advising crypto enthusiasts on Press TV, which is sponsored by the Iranian government. 

Apparently, Russian and Iranian money has a sweeter smell than Washington's.

Max Keiser quotes

Fiat money is backed by violence and Bitcoin is back by peace.

Britain is the epicenter of financial fraud. Most major players outsource their fraud here because London is the unregulated cesspit of global finance.

We must continue to educate the masses and encourage savings in Bitcoin to truly drain the kleptocratic swamp ruling our financial system.

Did I mention how good it feels to be a bitcoin millionaire?
