Introducing Stacy Herbert of Keiser Report
I know, I know, I'm supposed to insert a photo here of me with a sign saying something like, "this is me, blah blah, and yes, I'm real, blah blah," but that will come later today or tomorrow. Instead, I think this picture tells more than the thousand words I'd like to tell you. Max Keiser just pulled it from his archives. Hadn't ever seen it til last night:
That's at the very first bitcoin conference in Prague in November 2011. Not sure what the fiat price of bitcoin was, but somewhere around $3-7 USD, I reckon. There had been the infamous 10,000 BTC pizza meetup in New York a few weeks earlier, but, if I recall correctly, that wasn't really a conference conference. Not that this was a 'normal' conference either for it was organised by the one and only Amir Taaki. Most on Steemit probably know who he is but many newbies to bitcoin don't. He was a very, very early adopter of bitcoin and was mining it on Jaromil's laptop in a squat in Amsterdam at like 10 cents. Amir was an early contributor to the core bitcoin code and basically invented BIP and loads of other stuff in crypto (google him). He's recently been in Syria helping the Rojava in their fight against ISIS but had gone their to learn from their economic model. Hopefully, we'll see him return to the bitcoin space soon but I reckon much of it is a bit too corporate for this original cypherpunk.
At this original bitcoin conference in Prague, I remember getting locked out of my MtGox account! Too many people had logged on from same IP address. LOL. It pissed me off so much that I closed my account!! Phew. I still have the emails somewhere between me and Mark Karpeles. Lucky me.
My thoughts on the evolution of the bitcoin space, which is now the crypto space, coming soon.
(Signed, Stacy)
Steemit loves you Stacy!
I love Steemit. Probably because I watch Keiser Report and that Max Keiser dude is always banging on about it. :D
Great to see you here, I'm following you and Stacy...
BIG FAN, Warm Welcome to Steem!
Had to watch that classic again...
Kind of cold in NY
has max mentioned steemit on RT yet at all??
He's done some interviews with a few steemit users. One guy was talking about how he made $15,000 with he's first post. I can't remember the guys name though?
No mention yet but I expect that will change very soon. I watch the show daily for the laughs and information. Max and Stacy are a perfect couple.
Oh boy - high of $46, those were the days... Was this the first time they mentioned it?
So if Max was a Bitcoin millionaire back then must be doing pretty well now, not included inevitable big Ethereum investments they must have made along the way. If only I'd know about Max and Stacy back then. I was into the original version of Ripple in 2006, but lost track while I was busy working until late 2013. Then I was into Ethereum before they launched but somehow missed the ICO and got in late. But hey, it's all good and didn't lose my shirt with MtGox (but lost a sock or two with Cryptsy, boo hiss).
I did know Max and Stacy back then. I was around when he launched MAX COIN and START COIN (both still going), I was watching when he had Reggie Middleton on talking about Veritaseum and how it was going to change the world. Being deaf is terrible.
Classic clip. $4 for a Bitcoin lol Welcome to steemit @keiserreport good to see you guys here.
Everyone loves M&S, what a couple. The questions is what happens to the Max Keiser Show if Max gets elected, does it become the Stacy Keiser show or will Max be double jobbing?

Ha. Stay tuned . . .
I'd tune in for the laughs alone.
Thanks for the post Stacy! :)
I posted an intro to get you followers last night and hopefully it helps in bringing up your account reputation. You two are awesome and Steemit welcomes you! :)

Welcome to steemit
Nice to 'meet' you Stacy / @keiserreport! Really pleased to see you two on here. I have to admit, most of the 'famous' people on here are either famous on Steemit, coming from a YouTube, Instagram or Twitter following etc But you are the first people from a significant other platform I have seen, so far, to see the value of getting your spot in place in what could be the future of Social Media. Look forward to seeing what you get up to on here and glad to know you can be making direct crypto for your content.... I doubt other sites have been so kind. See you around! @ecoknowme
Hey, thanks for that. You'll see more of us here. Makes more sense than using Twitter. Our kind of crypto community here. \o/
Right on! And look forward to replacing the Economy with something more sensible, together with you all, as things move forward. Steem on!
So glad you're here Steeming with us! It's hard to find clear, concise, financial/economic information that can be trusted. Upvoted, Following, and looking forward to your insight. Thanks for being here:)
Hope you enjoy it. I'm wondering if we should create a play crypto portfolio and see how long it takes us to run it into the ground or send it to the moon . . . and keep you posted here?
Welcome! Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Yes, Amir still chimes in on certain forums and email lists. Mostly philosophical statements and challenges.
Tell Amir that we say hello! I miss having him around. We tried interviewing him recently but he was using a dodgy wifi connection so didn't work out.
I recognize Keiser's influence on that UCLA look. Good to see you on Steemit. I wish Steemit was easy to use like Facebook but I'm posting as much as I can on it now. I even bought some STEEM on Poloniex to send to Steemit but the wallet is down. I'm practicing storing Bitcoins in my brain now. Hope you are having fun.
Yeah, it's taking awhile to figure out, but much better than Facebook. (And 'UCLA look' . . . lol)
Welcome to Steemit Stacy! I love your show with Max
