We're revisiting our July 2020 interview with Max Keiser, a Bitcoin purist and fiat shredder (literally). Inflation and the Fed money printing continues in 2022, so we thought Keiser's insights into the financial system were highly relevant. This just might be the "orange pill" episode for you or your friends to hop into Bitcoin. At the rate the Federal Reserve is printing money, it won’t surprise anyone when the dollar eventually crumbles. Max Keiser is taking a pro-active stance on making fiat worthless.  Hand him a twenty and see what happens. It’s been a couple years since we first spoke with the co-host of The Keiser Report so we thought it was a good time to catch up and get his current thoughts on life, the Universe and everything. Hold on to your fiat if you don’t want Max to shred it, but where we’re going you won’t need it anyhow. This episode has it all, including original ukulele serenades. Get in tune and come along for a wild ride with us on episode #426 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  FULL SHOW NOTES: badco.in/426 SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunesGoogle Podcasts: http://badco.in/googleSpotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @badcryptopod - @joelcomm - @teedubyaFacebook: /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyawFacebook Mastermind Group: /BadCryptoLinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubyaInstagram: @BadCryptoPodcastEmail: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]comPhone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research.

TIME STAMPS 00:00 - Intro 04:50 - Feature Guest: Max Keiser 07:00 - Are you a Bitcoin purist?  07:45 - Most of the ICO projects from 2017 are dead. You were actually saying the Mona Lisa of the 21st Century is Bitcoin and a hash rate war with Iran that could potentially send Bitcoin soaring in value. 10:15 - America will say “we can’t let these other countries become the richest countries in the world” and enter the hash race/war.  11:06 - Couldn’t both be true? The government starts mining Bitcoin, but prevents its citizens from mining?  12:30 - What about the hash rate contribution from China?  14:40 - 16:18 - With all of the craziness in the United States, how close are we from Atlas Shrugging?  16:20 - 18:53 - The Federal Reserve system is flawed. People are starting to wake up. Bitcoin and Crypto seems to clearly be the path forward. How do you succinctly wake someone up to the whole currency system? 20:20 - We first interviewed you for Episode #34. You recently said hitting $50k Bitcoin will cause Peter Schiff, Mark Cuban, and others will go “all in” on Bitcoin. Explain. 24:36 - Explain the Cantillion effect.  27:55 - How do you think Trump figures into all this? 30:27 - Fairness in media broadcasting and publishing.  34:10 - Everything has been commoditized and traded on an exchange.  36:08 - You mentioned earlier that some of the big name projects in crypto are scams. Do you not think there’s room in the ecosystem for other blockchains and coins?  39:22 - What about countries creating their own digital currencies?  41:12 - Earlier I referenced the protests and the unrest. You have said the protests don’t do anything; buying Bitcoin is the real protest. But the protests are impacting change in policy. What is your take?  43:38 - These movements start out with great intentions, but then get consumed by other causes for the globalist agenda. Do you agree?  50:00 - We’re in 2020; what does the next ten years look like? What does 2030 look like?  52:30 - 54:25 COVID-19 and other events make it seem like this was all a soft coup against the United States government.  54:30 - Where in the world do you go when the U.S. collapses?  55:12 - New York City in the 1970s.  57:15 - The 1987 stock market crash.  59:20 - Global authoritarian dystopia…  1:00:48 - The militarization of local police and the rule of martial law. Defund fiat.  1:01:55 - Why don’t you give us a closing message to those out there who are losing faith in the system?  1:02:50 - Ukelele playing.  1:06:14 - Closing remarks Support the show: https://badcryptopodcast.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
