Max Keiser talks to Charlie Shrem: ICOs, FOMO and getting REKT on cryptos!

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Max and @charlieshrem talk about Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) and whether or not crypto can be a store of value with so many tokens.


We recorded this a few days before the SEC ruled that ICOs are a security. But Charlie's thoughts on Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) driving what he sees as a bubble in the token sector. They then discuss the wink and the nod that saw him do jail time. There is no grey area in the financial industry and the government may be waiting to pounce.

If you want to skip ahead to 12.45 to watch the interview and then leave your thoughts in the comments.

Sort:  

The Peter Shiff cameo was classic.

A wink and a nod from a Bitcoin criminal that is fresh out of jail. Now I am all for playing by the rules and getting around obstacles. But is that what is being done here? Im totally depressed that they want to call icos securities. When they speak about the bubble are they referring to stocks or cryptos?

Sorry if I sound like a killjoy but my intuition tells me that this account is not managed by the real Max Keiser but rather someone making rewards on his content.

I'm going to take your word for it because you are a mega whale but I was sort of thinking the same thing about these posts. That it wasn't really Max and Stacey. They should do a quick video addressing the Steemit community.

@grantcardone is another guy that is on here but just through his marketing team so it just doesn't have the same effect as if they actually addressed the community.

I don't manage my account @brianphobes jk lol :)

Well you have a twin clone that you communicate with telepathically to manage the @stackin account so that is different! LOL

It was originally an account owned by a squatter but the person who owned it was nice enough to hand it over.

Awesome @charlieshrem I remember watching (from a distance) you getting unfairly dragged across the coals for BitInstant . Really glad to see you doing well now!

You guys are the best.... always brining that real content to the community :)

Totally agree @stackin!

I will also keep an eye on you 2's work...

Max Keiser, Stacy Herbert, Charlie Shrem and Peter Schiff having interesting talk, loved it!

What do you guys think about ICO's with a real purpose? Not just someone selling promises but a real project that's up and running way before the ICO. In my opinion, those are real investments and not just gambling...
One upcoming ICO I find particularly interesting is the ONG.social ICO. Anyone looking to invest as well?

Ong is backed by IBM. Like u highlighted, most ICO are promise. This product is running and already has many users. Best part like steem u get paid for ur content. I think it is a good bet.

I consider Ong Coin to be a good long term investment

It's just awesome to have you here now, Stacy & Max! :)

Nice to have you here, too!

haha, thx! Keep up the good work.

Great to see you on Steemit Max! You doing good job.
Follow and up vote. Bless! :)
