The are two reasons why I am EXTREMELY bearish on Clif High.

All his predictions are VERY subjective interpretations of the data that he is SUPPOSEDLY collecting (1) through his Web Bot project, that he has never ever, let me reiterate, NEVER shown any proof actually exists (2).

People are actually paying for a monthly report, where they don't actually have a way of telling whether or not Clif is actually just sitting around making shit up.

The ONE reason why I still have some hope in Clif High, is that the man is insanely articulate. When you listen to his interviews, he does NOT, AT ALL, give you the impression that he making up what he is saying.

The only conclusion I can make is, that this guy either invented (and is maintaining) one of the MOST IMPORTANT data collection projects today, or conversely, that this man is one of THE MOST on-the-fly, well-articulated con-artists to have ever lived.

After having listened to him for months I have also come to this same conclusion. They way to manage this is to invest only what you can lose in the coins he suggests. This way you minimize risk but at the same time, given the reality that his web bots could actually be prescient, you have a hedge against them going to the moon as well. At the moment, I’m all in on LTC and will seek to diversify after the next bull run.

Aight I'll defend my homie and why I'm very bullish on him.

This was his old disclaimer.
> This forecast is real. A person would still be an idiot to make decisions based solely on my interpretation of my interpretation of strange data patterns. Universe rewards thinking. Everyone should try it for themselves at least once. Now would be a good time.

Once this is understood, anything found on his reports should be taken with extreme skepticism by anyone over 10 years old. From the start, the best case scenario isn't much better than him making things up. Being optimistic he is translating something from a language he doesn't speak. But still, it could be a fun thing to pay some attention to. And once I did that, I started paying to things I wouldn't have otherwise and I found interesting things, not necessarily what he predicted, the braver the prediction tried to be the less accurate it became but I was rarely disappointed for spending some time investigating one of his leads.

If it's really "one of the MOST IMPORTANT data collection projects today", I hope it survives him because if it's as good as I consider it to be, it's impossible to make it reach its full potential on this generation or the next and anything Clif High does with it to what it could complete after being fully developed is like comparing a wheel with a plane.

You managed to defend Clif High, the person, with this post - based on how YOU as an individual feel about him.

But tell me,

Can you show me just the absolutely lightest shred of evidence that the Web Bot people project actually exists?

Let’s assume for a second that it does, let’s humor that sentiment.

Instead of trying to add more legitimacy to the entire project, and make the world seriously talk about Web Bot, Clif High has chosen to monetize his reports, and sell them to a fringe community of people, who will pay 100 (ONE-HUNDRED) USD for a report, where you have to just simply take his word, that these algorithms actually exist.

Now, read that again - and ask yourself, is that something that an intellectual would do, or is it something con-man would do?

>> No.8643485

The fact that this topic is even posted here and we're having a debate shows that his web bot is successful. People are just frustrated with the market and want to take their frustration out on someone. When BTC was surging no one questioned Clif High.

Now all of a sudden he's a scammer. Lol. But believe what you want guys. Gotta shake out all the weak hands.

I don't have proof about anythign I have never seen. I think George Ure exists because making him up is a lot of unnecesary effort but that's not proof. A scam is a scam when it's made by one scammer or 2 or 40. If it's all lies then it's a scam and I have nothing to argue against that.

I still think it's the wrong angle. You see a greentext story, you can decide if it's worth reading or not, but rarely will you be able to know if it's true or made up. If you decide to read it it's up to you what to do with that information. This is similar, at worst he's a liar, at best pic related.

I remember him saying recently (I don't remember where) that he's working on ways in which he can make others run something similar with their own parameters. If he's been working on this for as long as he says, he should be the first interested in making sure it continues. But I can understand why he may have other priorities than making it accessible right now. Improving the machine,making it run and deciphering it sounds pretty time consuming.

who else was talking about thousand dollar price swings in 2013 before btc grew legs?

there's been plenty of webbot hits over the years that could not possibly be guessed, it would be like winning multiple lotteries, there's something there, and it could be refined into something reliable

however clif has been wrong on the interpretation of a bunch of other things, there's been some stuff that's appeared a year or two late but otherwise as described, sometimes things are on time but with a few details wrong or mixed up, and others inbetween

everyone likes to give him crap about his silver predictions, it's hard to tell how far a mountain is without anything to measure against, perhaps it's a reaaaally big mountain really far away

skepticism is fine
ive been following his stuff since 2007, he nailed the peak of the gfc, bot or no bot, I don't give a fuck if it works
however it's not always accurate, but there's been enough there to indicate he's not randomly making stuff up

he's been saying that harbors would be mysteriously drained of water in his so called global coastal process and not due to tides, it didn't show up when it was supposed to, but when has this ever happened before?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3ebbdQ3-8

there's been many things like this over the years

he's been talking about atmospheric rivers showing up in his 2010 or 2011 reports
and since then, that's happened exactly, with the articles about it using the same exact language
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPcJ2GfXlSw

do you think he made the atmospheric rivers?
or managed to pick up on them ahead of time?

similar things happened with the oil spill and fukushima

>>8643267
yes, he should totally tell you specifics of the algos so people can flood it with babble to ruin the predictions
he's already described how they work in great detail, it basically collects little freudian slips on the internet which he thinks hints at the future

he should not charge people money because electricity is free and reports write themselves
and he should not be benefiting from other people making money off the data he finds

>skepticism is fine[...]

I cannot dispute that some things Clif have said or talked about in the past COULD (and I use that word sparingly) be interpreted to be associated with real-world, non-crypto related events. But then again, there is an abundance (And I use that word sparingly) of things that he has talked about that N E V E R happened, or even bore resemblance to any thing that would look like events, that he has been describing would happen.

An example: I distinctly remember listening to a podcast from '14 where Clif talks about the discovery of a new revolutionary energy source being available within the next three years FOR SURE, and it would be invented by to university students in america.

Before you seriously, unironically choose to believe in Clif High, you have to admit that the man throws SO MANY predicitions out there, that all ones that never come true are simply forgotten, and then the ones that (kind of (and I use that phrase sparingly)) come true, are the ones that people absolutely CLING to.

Doesen't believing in this, sound like voluntary delusion to you?

I don't take his time estimates seriously
after mtgox, he said btc will go to 2k after dipping, but he didn't know there would be a 2 year bear market inbetween, it's more like trying to guess what the future is based on newspaper headlines that have been cut up, it's not a precise science, though it could be refined into one

he nailed bitcoin reaching 1k though leading to mtgox

yes there's been a bunch of stuff that hasn't happened, there is noise in the data, or perhaps it has not happened yet, he was describing elements of fukushima 2011 during the oil spill 2010, both two manmade disasters that ended up polluting the ocean with hazardous material in a way, so it makes sense for the data to get clumped together because of filtering or just the way people used language mashed them together instead of as separate events

I remember the new electrics, he says that stuff is still growing in the data, now seems to bloom in 2020s, so its on the way

he did get the italian free energy device right, but it didn't amount to much attention, some labs say it's legit, others dispute it

as for the two students, I remember him saying it was two russians, not americans
who knows, maybe he picked up on an obscure movie plot that we never heard about in the west
or could be an error

his crypto predictions have been much more reliable because crypto language is less ambiguous, and mostly new names, words that are used only in cryptos
sometimes the data changes suddenly, I remember there was a brief price dip last year that he tweeted out with about 4 days notice, but was a few hundred off

seeing how quickly it took for btc to go from 2-20k in a few months, I think it can redo that easily, especially now more people know about it than last year, and have wallets ready, clifs 38k prediction does not sound far fetched, will we get to 100k this year? lets see, maybe the usd starts dying in the next few months because of the petroyuan so people pile into btc to preserve their wealth? it's possible

I think when crypto tax rules start getting laid out, then it will be the all clear signal for everyone to rush in, that will definitely respark interest again, and then the price will take it from there

This is a different problem, he gets words and looks for relations but translating that into any real world meaning is hard as fuck. For example, he says there's been a rise in the use of the word space in recent years. I believe this has been the case. But this doesn't necessarily translate to anything happening outside of Earth. Maybe the language has changed and constructions like "business space" have become more common for other reasons. Even if what he has built gives him the right data, you must expect most of his interpretations to be wrong. The words that are being connected can still be worth following.

Let me just ask you a question, because just by the sheer volume of defensive posts you have made in this thread, I'm pretty much going to assume that you are buying his reports.

What tangible proof do you have, that Clif High doesen't just scribble down some stuff every month, just to smack it into a PDF and then send it to you for a hundred bucks?

Have you ever actually seen proof of the fact, that he supposedly has this lexicon of emotional linguistic indicators? That he has a huge server somewhere? Where are the raw condensed data sheets (that he claims to analyze himself) for people themselves to dig into?

To be honest, If I had spent such a huge part of my life trying to create something like this, I would want it to be recognized as a potentially important tool/applied method. I would get funding (which would be easy to get, if you could prove that you had predicted significant events) and actually have people involved to expand, improve and grow this.

This is not the reality of "Web Bot", the end result is instead monetized monthly reports. Are you kidding me?

>What tangible proof do you have, that Clif High doesen't just scribble down some stuff every month, just to smack it into a PDF
no proof, nor do I care if he uses a bot or not, he can use tea leaves if it gives me a look at the future

HOWEVER, he's described how the bot works in general many times and it sounds plausible to me

>then send it to you for a hundred bucks?
the ALTA reports were several thousand dollars at first in the early 2000s, but that was a whole set or something, I did not buy those
then they were $10 for a loooong time
the crypto focused reports in the past year have been $100

It didn't exist, because he just says everything is going to be a moonshot, then takes credit when something moonshots, and pretends like he never said anything when it doesn't or that it's still going to happen. Silver should have been $600 an ounce years ago according to him. Still says it every year, on the off chance that it does jump, so he can say "See, I said it."
