Max Keiser On How He Bought BTC For $1 In 2011 And Why Bitcoin Is Like The Mona Lisa (Exclusive Interview)
CryptoPotato recently had the chance to interview Keiser, where he said that his first Bitcoin purchase was in 2011 and compared the asset to one of the most famous artworks in the world – The Mona Lisa. Keiser commented on these developments in the stock markets, saying that such gains could be attributed to the decreasing trust in the US dollar: Keiser said that he heard about Bitcoin in 2011 and started accumulating at $1 at the time.
In another recent interview, Keiser asserted that only “gold, silver, and Bitcoin can save you now,” referring to the current events in which world governments are printing a lot of fiat to ease the pain from the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Keiser is a seed investor in one of these projects, he lashed out against their actions to accept the funds: “These crypto projects like Cardano, ShapeShift (full disclosure, I’m a seed investor), and ConSensys taking government PPP welfare suggests they are zombie projects that should be left to die because they can’t compete.
