Max Keiser Cartoon - Insightful Business TV Show Pundit and Bitcoin Enthusiast



~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

In this exclusive interview, Max Keiser, host of the Keiser Report and one of the most influential people in the crypto space reveals his coveted and highly anticipated forecast for bitcoin on Stansberry Research.
In 2018, Keiser forecasted that bitcoin would end 2020 around $28,000 a coin – the crypto ended up closing the year at $29,000 a coin, making Keiser’s prediction the most accurate compared to other crypto experts.

Speaking with Daniela Cambone as part of the Outlook 2021 series, Keiser also shares his forecasts for gold and silver. During the interview, Keiser is asked about bitcoin being the ultimate bubble waiting to burst, about those that call it a Ponzi scheme and whether tether is manipulating the price of bitcoin higher.

The Keiser Report: Insightful Business Show on RT - Max and Stacy look at the interest being paid by THE FED TO BANKS on "excess reserves" now adding up to $36 billion per year in taxpayer subsidies to banks – i.e., straight-up welfare.

and... "t0 th3 M00n" - Bitcoin History - Max and Stacy Explain What It's All About! - If you want a Currency that DOES NOT NEED THE PERMISSION OF THE US GOVERNMENT, Bitcoin is for YOU.


Max continues his interview with Peter Schiff about the #DropGold campaign, the cost of moving bitcoin versus the cost of moving gold, and they take some viewer questions. They also discuss fellow bitcoin hater Warren Buffett’s love for stock buybacks and whether or not that money would be better off returned to shareholders rather than to executives.

The Fed paid banks $30 billion on 'excess reserves' for 2017... Given that the Fed prints its own money to invest or manipulate markets with - which makes for some crazy accounting issues - the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that apply to US businesses to do not apply to the Fed.

Great TV Show: "t0 th3 M00n" - Bitcoin History - Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert - I'm starting to understand. If you want a Currency that DOES NOT NEED THE PERMISSION OF THE US GOVERNMENT, Bitcoin is for YOU.

All financial transactions are controlled by the US Federal Reserve Bank... "The FED" ... Except CryptoCurrency.

 "The Federal Reserve System is the central banking system of the United States of America. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, after a series of financial panics led to the desire for central control of the monetary system in order to alleviate financial crises."
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve

Headline: Bitcoin Threatens To 'Take Power' From The U.S. Federal Reserve. U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman last week introduced a bill to ban bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
"An awful lot of our international power comes from the fact that the U.S. dollar is the standard unit of international finance and transactions," Sherman said at a meeting of the House Financial Services Committee last week.

"Clearing through the New York Fed is critical for major oil and other transactions. It is the announced purpose of the supporters of cryptocurrency to take that power away from us, to put us in a position where the most significant sanctions we have against Iran, for example, would become irrelevant."

Max and Stacy take you on an exciting journey TO THE MOON in their new series all about bitcoin. They look at the freaks, the geeks, the trolls, the cypherpunks, and all those who got REKT along the way.

https://www.rt.com/shows/to-the-moon/457141-bitcoin-digital-currencies-revolution/

In the genesis episode of TO THE MOON, Max and Stacy ask: “What is bitcoin? What was the actual beginning? Was it the genesis block on January 3, 2009? Or the Bitcoin White Paper published on October 31, 2008? Or were the seeds first planted in the early digital currencies created by the cypherpunks a decade earlier?”TO THE MOON also asks: “What did Satoshi want?” Early bitcoin contributor, Amir Taaki, believes Satoshi’s genesis block message was very political, that the decision to publish the Times front page headline, “Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks” was not random but rather signals intent. Jimmy Song says Satoshi wanted money that wasn’t controlled by a centralized authority and the best store of value ever created. Giacomo Zucco believes he wanted a monetary policy revolution. TO THE MOON then talks to Bill Barhydt of Abra about cypherpunks, what they wanted and how that influenced the revolution that is bitcoin. Nozomi Hayase says ‘cypherpunks write code’ and the bitcoin code embodies the ideals of natural law. Also in this episode, prominent bitcoiners like investor Trace Mayer, security engineer Jameson Lopp, entrepreneur and coder Rodolfo Novak, and Marshall Long, who was an early miner, provide insight into the ideology and ideas unleashed by bitcoin. The journey then takes them to the radical monetary experiment of QE which began only weeks after the Bitcoin White Paper was first published.

How to fix the Waiting for Edge Chat error in the Farmville Game. DELETE COOKIES, RESTART GAME. and tips for playing Farmville.

In Google Chrome: Delete History/Clear Browsing Data prevents the error message from appearing... I keep the Passwords only...

Be aware that you will have to sign in again to all the websites you like... but the passwords will be stored, so that's easy to do... be aware that this is a temporary fix... I have to do it every time I want to play Farmville... and I have read that this infection happens on all games.

I Check EVERYTHING except passwords... 

A simple way to avoid annoying error messages on the computer is to put a piece of paper over the location of the message... often while I play Farmville, it says "waiting for edge chat facebook com" ... because the game is failing to connect with something I don't care about... the message is always in the lower left hand corner of the screen... so, a piece of paper folded in half removes that message from my sight...

Optional: Run Disk Cleanup... Good to do Occasionally... 
When I run Disk Cleanup... I select My Files Only, 
Drive C: OK... OK... Are You Sure? Delete Files.
deleting unnecessary files from my computer. 



Sometimes the error message will re-appear days later... so once again I delete history in Google Chrome... everything except passwords and the message stops appearing...

Stock Market Crash coming soon says Munchkin... Unless congress passes the Tax Cut for the Rich Bill.

Since Congress has a History of not being able to pass anything, It's unlikely that Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich Law will happen anytime soon. Wall Street has had rising value due to the belief that a Corporate Tax Rate decrease will make them richer... If That law doesn't happen, the Legendary "Trump Bubble" will burst and another Crash Like 2009 or 1987 or 1929 will happen...

Gee... Maybe Munchkin is right!

Headline:Steve Mnuchin Threatens Stock Market Crash If Tax Reform Doesn’t Pass
http://fortune.com/2017/10/18/stock-market-tax-reform-steve-mnuchin/

Actually, Congress HAS passed Two laws during the Trump Era. One makes it easier for Mentally Ill people to buy guns and the other imposes Sanctions on Russia for hacking the 2016 election.

Trump Signed both Laws but has failed to actually impose any sanctions on Russia. I guess that he dares not anger his Boss, Vladimir Putin...

If Trump ACTUALLY enforces the law and Sanctions Russia, Vladimir would probably have Trump assassinated... That's the Russian way...

Most Americans have never recovered from the recession of 2008 and the outsourcing, mechanizing, robotizing and computerizing of their jobs. Men’s salaries and working conditions have been deteriorating since the mid 1970s. Women’s salaries have increased to 77% of men’s low salaries. Americans are emotionally depressed. We consume 50% of the world’s psych meds and 80% of the world’s heroin. Suicides addiction obesity and other social ills have increased. Too many are in despair. This panel explains what happened, why it happened and what to do about it.

Trump deregulates Banks setting up US Economy to Fail again. Anti Dodd-Frank Executive Order puts nation at risk.

Dodd-Frank Financial Regulations Watered Down as Trump Signs Executive Orders.  President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday scaling back the sweeping 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulatory framework enacted under his predecessor as a direct response to the financial crisis.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-signs-executive-orders-watering-down-dodd-frank-financial-regulations-n716481

The Dodd-Frank was designed to ensure that a financial crisis like that in 2008 won't happen again. As such, it sought to attack the principal problem that policymakers believed had caused the crisis in the first place -- the growth and proliferation of too-big-to-fail banks. [Motley Fool]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyman_Minsky
Hyman Philip Minsky (September 23, 1919 – October 24, 1996) was an American economist'
His research attempted to provide an understanding and explanation of the characteristics of financial crises, which he attributed to swings in a potentially fragile financial system. Minsky is sometimes described as a post-Keynesian economist because, in the Keynesian tradition, he supported some government intervention in financial markets, opposed some of the financial deregulation policies popular in the 1980s, stressed the importance of the Federal Reserve as a lender of last resort and argued against the over-accumulation of private debt in the financial markets.[1]
Minsky's economic theories were largely ignored for decades, until the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 caused a renewed interest in them.
