In answer to the people that are asking about my conversation with Karl basically he is setting up a £20,000,000 STARTFUND which will be used to fund projects on Startjoin, they will choose a few projects weekly/monthly and fully fund them. But the most important thing he said was that this will all be done with STARTCOIN so basically the fund will need to buy £20,000,000 worth of STARTCOIN over time to achieve this.

Work it out for yourselves whether this will be good for the price or not

I really like StartJOIN and how it helps everyday people to raise money that they need. I really hope it keeps growing and spreads around the world to help many people. I have bought some startcoin and hoping in the future to profit from them, i do believe i will be able make profit in the long run.
My problem is i still have a bad taste in my mouth from Maxcoin, i bought on behalf of Max Keiser's advice and promise on a Maxcoin stabilisation Fund which never happened and numerous tweets about Maxcoins great future. I am an average working man and invested a few thousand pound into Maxcoin trusting Keiser
on keeping his word. Also Karl said he was backing Maxcoin and then few weeks ago announced he had sold all his Maxcoin? What the hell these guys doing to people like me ? Just milking my hard earned money or what ? Fact is i have watched Keiser Report since beginning and agree with nearly everything said on show so i believed Keiser telling me the truth about what i should invest in. If Max is an honourable man he should still back Maxcoin because many people like me have invested a lot of money into it. I know people will read this and say get over it Maxcoin is finished etc but that is not the point i am making, if it fails so what thats the chance i took but the people who backed it and told people to buy it (like Keiser and Karl) should not have dropped it, instead use it someway and try to make a go of it, otherwise they are just conmen. But i do hope Keiser is a good guy and will make a use for Maxcoin someway.
I am talking about Maxcoin on a Startcoin post sorry people but i am hoping maybe Karl or Max will get to see this post and maybe shame them in to doing the right thing with Maxcoin, although i don't think they really care about smalltime guys like me. However i am still buying Startcoin as i believe it will be a good money earner, its going to rise a lot in price for sure really undervalued right now, and the big guys are actually doing things to make it rise just read through the posts and see for yourself.
I hate to say it but Keiser has turned me into a cut-throat business man, now i just see Startcoin as a way for me to make money buy low and sell for profit and repeat, when i first got into crypto i believed all the talk about it changing the world and getting rid of evil bankers etc. now i will just behave like the big players tell everyone to buy and screw them for every last penny. Unless Keiser trys to help Maxcoin again i think he will never be fully respected by all, you can't encourage someone to buy something and then just drop it, is this not counted as fraud? Anyway sorry for my rant, keep buying startcoin you will make money from it.

I have a simple interpretation of these events that may enlighten. I too bought some maxcoin. When Maxcoin was launched it was a very boring time in the crypto space. Nothing exciting was going on and it was difficult to find a interesting alt other than some 2.0s that were still in shadows like maid, mastercoin maybe counterpart but really they had already had their launches and were looking overvalued price wise. If you followed maxcoin situation closely you will notice that maxcoin was not really Keiser's idea. He appeared even a little reluctant to make just another alt. If you also notice IMHO Keiser is prone to hyperbole, exaggeration etc. In short, the guy can get excited about stuff!!! His hyperbole and excitability is what draws in a lot of his fans and why his show is successful. So there is no scam or nefarious intent. You have to watch actions not words. He is putting his passion and energy into START. I don't think he has dropped maxcoin and is probably looking for a role for it but really it was never his idea or passion - just follow the old episodes and you will see. You were not tricked. When I saw Keiser putting his effort and passion into START that alone was the indication that maxcoin was not really his passion and that was the time to switch to START and it all makes sense (maxcoin is some coin others made that he agreed to be part of back when cyrpto was kinda boring). Is he dropping it like its nothing? I say no- he appears to string it along which is all I would expect. Man is just following his passions (startjoin) and doing a fabulous job. People who are upset have only themselves to blame. Every THINKING person should see that Keiser is prone to exaggerate and get pretty excited which is fun and fresh way to report news and interview but it is your fault if you take everything he says as a promise or roadmap or commitment. No who and what you are dealing with. Words are interesting but they are just words. Wiegh actions more heavily. Place yourselves into other peoples shoes mentally and you will come to understand why they say what they say, why they avoid some topics and appear to sweep them under the rug not always because they are scamming but simply the situation created a bind for them that was difficult to extricate themselves from... I will leave my interpretation at that. Oh and STARTCOIN, STARTJOIN is freaken awesome. I have been following this for awhile and am more excited each day. Viva la START!
