  3. lol...I forwarded this vid to a friend a couple of days ago. I was focusing on their "bitcoin is a better gold" comment as it's pure lunacy.

    That's where I'm going to disagree with Schiff though. I don't think they are purposely hyping Bitcoin so they can get out, I think they really are morons and believe what they are saying.

  4. LOL. I'll venture a wild guess that you didn't ask Schiff for permission to "steal" his content and put it to your own channel. I bet that if I counted the number of words he says here and were to reproduce the exact same number of words from your's (or "Wenzel's") books without offering any sort of critique or comment and without permission you two would get your panties in a bunch.

    Gotta love pro IP people. Let me guess 9 minutes of content is the same as using TP in a hotel you aren't staying at which is the same as using the Rolling Stones logo without permission. Im taking a picture of this comment so I can prove you block comments that embarrass you.

    1. Looks to me like that is a Rossini post, not Wenzel and I think Rossini works for Schiff.

      Have you ever seen Rossini post one way or the other about IP?

    2. Rossini is pro IP. And since when is "stealing" from your boss ok?

    3. And read more carefully. I clearly noticed it was a Rossini post.

    4. Well, before you get to wound up in your IP righteousness, remember that Schiff maybe be ok with sharing his content in this example.

      For it to even be considered an IP violation, you first have to have the owner of said content make a claim/protest its appropriation- and we don't know yet if Schiff objects, you're just assuming.

    6. Sometimes Wenzel/Rossini gets under my skin when they talk trash about bitcoins, but that's a good thing.

  5. Schiff's argument that (paraphrasing) "Bitcoins are oK for people who HAVE Bitcoins, but not for others because you would have to buy Bitcoins" can be applied to Euros or any other currency.

    I think he is missing the boat on Bitcoin. It may take a while to catch on, but unlike fiat currencies it (in principle) cannot simply be printed at the whim of a government. Bitcoin may not be the e-currency that ultimately becomes the most important currency in the world, but some e-currency certainly will. In the meantime Bitcoin is a speculative investment. Why complain that the Winkelvoss twins are speculating when that is precisely what Schiff does, just in different markets?

    I like Schiff, but not on this topic.

      I don't see his vid as complaining as much as I see how demonstrating the absurdity of the Winklevoss's claims that "most people think Bitcoin is a better gold" or their notions about what the market cap should be...

      "Complaining" is different from argumentation. He might be concerned about people that take their claims at face value without thinking about them.
