RE: Buy SILVER! SILVER! SILVER!
Well to be frank and honest, we never see any proof from Bix.. and I'm no troll, just an observer. Take the whole "good guys" schtick - where is this from? How does Bix know this? Does he have some deep state buddies he's not talking about? How about some proof then? We also never hear why Bix is "an expert" on any of these topics other than he was somehow involved in GATA and worked in the financial industry. Doing what? What's his real past? Where did he work specifically that made him an "expert"? So until Bix is ready to ante up with some proof for anything rather than just "theories", I don't just don't have much trust in the continually rehashed stories. Especially ones that have only been pulled from Clif's reports - which is most everything he's giving these days.
Well, it is a theory. And it is the "hole" one begins to fall into? If you question everything, then everything about you can be questioned because that is how it works. But no accusations here, and it's human to do, just honest questions.
But it is very difficult to have a discussion when emotions are involved.
Take Cliff's interview yesterday.
And emotions is really what the bots measure, and then runs it through the final processor-his brain and discernment and experience. IMO I never bought one of his reports though. I watch these guys and it "leaks" out to me because I've watched them for so long. But I really have wanted to, just never pulled the trigger.
I'm not sure if I really understand your last response. I'm not talking about questioning everything or about my emotions. My point is very simple. If you are going to set yourself up as an "alternative expert" of any sort, there are a few simple things that you need to be able to to do. One is to give a real résumé (i.e. transparency) as to why you are some level of expert. Another is to give real evidence for any consistent points you make (e.g. "the good guys story", "the cryptos are being supported by the good guys to save us" story, the "Veritaseum is amazing even though all standard ICO checks for it suck" story, etc.) You also need to provide insights that are not just someone else's (e.g. silver is going to go up because Clif said so, gold is going basically nowhere because Clif said so - plus the Grand Canyon story, these cryptos Clif picked are going to go up because Clif said so, etc.) All of these things become evidence that Bix doesn't have proof for much of anything he is giving. That includes his story of Greenspan being the greatest programmer ever and that he also set up the Road to Roota plans at the Fed. I'd just like to see some real evidence and not just continually rehashed stories. That's all.
I'm sure the book will answer everything. I am honestly curious about Greenspan even more now that he is talking bonds.
I'm not challenging everything Bix has has ever said.
He has a right to his opinions.
