I used to listen to George Ure and Clif High discuss the use of web bots for predictive linguistics purposes back in the late 2000's and early 2010's. During these discussions, Max Keiser's name came up as someone touting a new and brilliant technological financial advancement called bitcoin in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. I've been interested ever since. So thank you Max and Clif!
