From Child Star to Eccentric Crypto Billionaire | Cowboy Kings of Crypto
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 апр 2024
- Brock Pierce is the original crypto cowboy. And this former child star and one-time Disney Mighty Duck’s sometimes shady journey through the crypto eco-sphere is practically the human embodiment of cryptocurrency’s sometimes shady journey through the zeitgeist. This influential and eccentric crypto-made billionaire, lives in the tax-free haven of Puerto Rico, a place he is controversially trying to turn into a crypto utopia. What is Brock’s next act? Spreading the gospel of crypto around the world - including playing a role in the largest global crypto experiment, the adoption of Bitcoin as an accepted national currency in El Salvador. How far can crypto, and Brock go?
This episode of Cowboy Kings of Crypto was made in 2022.

Brock Pierce was associated with Marc Collins Rector. He conducted parties in Hollywood where children were being SA'd by grown adult men. Marc Collins Rector is one the reasons why Brock Pierce is rich.
He also made business with Jeffrey Epstein
I knew the name sounded familiar…
met him at a private party in Puerto Rico once and asked him what he was doing to help the place. he proceeded to talk about archangels and ascended masters.
😂😂😂
lmfao
😂😂🤣
😂😂
Perhaps you need to wake up
He looks like Steve Buscemi's mean cousin who probably used to bite people when he was a kid.
He looks like he takes fashion advice from a pick-up-artist
youtube comments never disapoint
This bloke has been involved in so many SCANDALS!!! 😂
They don't mention the pedo allegations during the entire thing. It's fking crazy
Majority of millionaires and billionaires are pedos at this point. When you have all that wealth and power apparently life gets boring
We just gonna forget about Bryan Singer's parties and this dude being front and center? Cool.
I'm favoured, $50K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my communitv and also support God's work and the church.God bless America
How
..? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?
A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some professional advice.
Thanks to Mrs Deborah Davis.
She's a licensed broker here in the states
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Deborah Davis) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
Brick pierce used to pimp out Lil boys to mark Collins rector and Chad shackley...most importantly he used to "party with" Brian singer, Brian peck and Bob villard
How much did Marc Collins Rectum pay y’all for this? Never forget
Bro has like 300k followers.
Y'all making it sound like he's the top guy
Did Brock Pierce pay you to do this "documentary"?
In cold hard cash, gold, and favours
They’ve been sellouts since 2014.. nothing new here .
Those who stack treasure,
are not rich towards God
I mean, Vice is desperate considering their bankruptcy…
For sure, it’s sad
Why is this being made?.. this dude is no one..
Just had to pause it. You're spot on lol
Watch it and see.
And Thank God for that!!
This was made in '22. Everyone was having a blast talking about crypto in '22. It "crashed" "died" and was the laughing stock of no-coiners. Late night hosts made fun of it almost nightly. Now? crickets. hmmm? Nearly the entire left was or is against bitcoin thanks to misinformation and a concerted effort to stop non-central bank controlled money. They tricked so many, be mad at them, not random people who had a segment of a show made about him.
watch the story before you comment
In crypto since 2017, got no clue who the dude is shrug.
💩talk
The downfall of Vice. Their journalism is down the toilet.
how, they just brought light to this that most people didnt even know of, even comments from ppl in crypto forever that didnt even know of this guy
Go buy some more crypto, bum.
Most OG crypto enthusiasts I follow absolutely despise this man. Wonder why he got a doc.
Why is he so hated?
@@TheeMrsGrinch from what I remember, he likes to think of himself as a Bitcoin ambassador and has even talked to leaders of nation on behalf of the bitcoin community. Most crypto enthusiast hate this because it goes against the principles of decentralization of Bitcoin and crypto as a whole. There isn’t supposed to be a leader or figurehead.
He think he’s the god of bitcoin. When he isn’t . Bitcoin is for everyone and that’s how it should be.
Grifter crusader
Can you guys throw together a clowns compilation video with all these folks you push?
Humans can't help but put other humans on pedestals
I hate lucky scumbags like this who land about Bitcoin early and was making billions off it and kept it secret so only him and the select few who knew about it th majority of he wolf didn’t know what Bitcoin was until ayear ago when was great time to inv st but nobody had disposable income to invest
Hate
Anyone actually verify his claims of being a billionaire? He might be a millionaire, but he strikes me as more of a scammer and he doesn't live like he is a billionaire.
So who ever creates the tokens starts out with the most how is that fair sounds like Ponzi scheme ?
Well, if you start out with your own company and you make it successful when you reach the top and make money it’s the same thing
Such a predator
“Puerto Rico has a PR problem” lol that sentence was fun.
Brock is classic 'when theres blood (or natural disaster) on street buy property' kind of rich guy.
If only he had made that sudden death overtime shot in the championship game, this all could have been avoided.
Laces out!
Never heard of this guy.... Pretty sure most of the crypto community hasn't either.
Wow that dude is tiny!!!’
Remember folks... Bitcoin not crypto.
I can see a bull trend for bots entering this chat
The narrator said BTC was created by the people, not by a government but how does he know? 🤔
2:20 That's because no one is coming to save you, including these politicians. You have to save yourself.
Pretty sure this is the dude from Queens Gambit.
He looks like someone you would meet at a Rainbow Gathering. Or Burning Man.
@zephyrsphynx i dont doubt it but how do you know this?
@@zephyrsphynx was your friend dating him despite knowing he was already married?
@@zephyrsphynxI see. It's interesting to get actual information from a comments section instead of polarized opinions from people who have no interest in communicating beyond talking trash that they will never have to back up.
Blockchain is super clunky and it’s ridiculous to think it can be used for transactions
Yeah the hype train is over, at this point it’s all speculative buzz for the etf market on Wall Street. It’s only real utility is a long term store of value and hedge against currency inflation, but that assumes there’s liquidity and that you secure the bitcoin. You’re on your own if you lose the keys, get hacked or send them to the wrong wallet or some other user error. It’s great for software engineers and technical users but will never be mainstream. Payment networks like PayPal and Venmo got hip, realized they needed to offer lower fees. Their security is much better and if something goes wrong you can at least contact their service division.
in Ireland 33% tax after sell.wher is point to keep that
Pará cuando la versión en español de este video
So confused by the negativity in the comments. This dude is clearly way ahead of his time. Y’all need to wake up.
10:49 That's absolutely right. Because the Puerto Rico has their own printing machines too to print up more money for the people. Or they can just add more #'s to their banks computer screens called virtual money in this computer age.
seems like a strange angle
I’ve been in crypto for like 8 years…never heard of this dude 😂
_im here to help puerto rico, like totally helping, oh thank god i showed up_
Seems like the dude has great intentions but just got a bit unlucky with his approach.
1:05 Or the Puerto Rico government or a women there can choose an adventure for him because their jealous of his wealth and freedom, by accusing him of a crime he didn't commit and lock him up for life regardless. Happens all the time in this world when life still isn't fair.
Selling BullCrap for Dollars. It totally makes sense. Keep buying.
Crypto illiteracy is evidently everywhere these days and will miss out on an once opportunities to make it well economically. This is the future
Vice doing jumping jacks on it
El Salvador is killing it with their bitcoin play what are you talking about lol and they're offering to buy back their debt. There was an article in February saying they're up more than 40%.
And now no longer beholden to the IMF. This’s massive forward thinking news!
Can you please link the article(s)?
5:25 In other words. (His parents forced him to do it.)
8:31 Yeah. Because their jealous they don't have the amount of money and freedom that he has. It's like crabs in a bucket, when one crab is about to get out of the bucket, the rest of the crabs pull it back in with them.
ruclips.net/video/5dxCOj8BBGQ/видео.html
No, not really. He's just an unlikeable and morally corrupt person. That's why most people who've worked for him are breaking the NDAs they signed with him and coming clean when going public about his dealings.
I’ll invest whatever I have to in order to keep VICE alive
Is the hat part of his personality?
Is this a paid advertisement for Brock Pierce 2024 ?
Who tf is this guy?
very warped, biased perspective. The vast majority of people living in poor, tropical countries like peurto rico realise that it is important and a good thing for their country to have rich people visit and spend money there. For most of these countries, tourism is at least 20% of their GDP, often as high as 80% . So for every one person getting mad about rich cryoto people visiting peurto rico to spend money, there'll be at least 10 who realise it's a good thing, even if they don't accomplish anythign except spend money locally.
10:40 Colonialism? But everybody still serves somebody.
Await the explosive arrival of Block Sailor Token-it's going to be unforgettable!
4:50 🥶
Brock is coloizing
Is Brock Pierce behind the alt coin Brock?🤔
No not yet, not yet.
How do most of you guys still making profit? Even with the downturn of economy and ever increasing life standards
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
I'm guided by a widely known crypto consultant
Mrs Nancy Williams Laplace
Yeah that's right I think it's right to invest with professional at least it saves the trauma of too much loses
The first step to successful investment is figuring your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but it's very advisable you make use of professional
Isn't she the same Mrs Nancy Williams Laplace that my neighbors are talking about, she has to be a perfect expect for people to talk about her so well.
I literally had a long convo about $Spaceofapes with a mate, so the timing of this is 👌🏼
I think you would be an absolutely excellent candidate for president since he is too young to move into the senior living housing
People
that changing lifes ❤
Did crypto change your life for good?
@@sonyagraske376 exactly YES! High Risk Big rewards
How did the hurricane of 911 disappear?
$Spaceofapes and DAO are good bets. No sure about SOL.
Ye so hard to get Richer when you are Rich already... You can print money if you already have some.
“Billionaire”
Quantum Computing will finish them off.
What do you think of crypto currency? Someone is trying to get me into this. And I know nothing 🥴
@@sonyagraske376 it’s all fun and games until quantum computer is able to break it
@@sonyagraske376 there is a LOT of scams in Crypto. Be very careful.
@@sonyagraske376 as far as I can tell one of the ways people make money off of Crypto (if they actually make money at all) is getting other people interested and sell them on it. There are a lot of ponzi schemes in Crypto. And the vast majority of people who are really into Crypto are basically males who are going through a midlife crisis or peaked in college and couldn't get laid unless they paid for it.
These "ppl" crack me up! 😂😂😂
Ain’t no one know who created Bitcoin. “Bitcoin is the first currency in the world created by the people instead of governments.” 😂
An Open Secret 2014
This cycle's catalyst will be $Spaceofapes and $Spaceofapes will be at the forefront. Mark my words
Would never take any sort of advice from a guy like that.
THASS WHY A BROKE COMMENTER
bro got lucky off a BTC and he wants to run for president lol some dude in PR gunna steal his btc wallet and bury him
One Bitcoin One hula-hoop
The rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without hesitating then the poor stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich
I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus.$32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Mrs Geraldine lane
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the state 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God. shalom..
Wow that's nice she makes you that much!! please is there a way to reach her services, I work 3 Jobs and trying to pay off my debts for a while now!! Please help me 🙏
May God bless Mrs Geraldine lane service's, she have changed thousands of lives globally.
Yes or no to crypto currency? A roll of the dice? Some win, most loose?
it's all a grift. a stock exchange with no companies
Doge and Shib are dead. $Spaceofapes and BTC are this cicle runners. and possibly ETH.
so many meaningless buzzwords..nauseating
"They're all here right now" all i see are plain dressed millenials bud.
UBI Commie Brock
🎉🎉
LOL
The face of big daddy’s next agenda.
🛸
He’s also a ChoMo..
Crypto coloniser
Puerto Rico has a PR problem lol sound racist
Grift coin lol.
Open Secret
One of the greatest invention in the century..
So you are into crypto? I know nothing. Ironically, last night someone reached out to me about crypto currency. 🥴
It’s slowly becoming more viable but it’s a long way off, still too many scams about just look at certain influencers and their activities.
As the saying goes, when there's a gold rush, sell shovels. Buy $Spaceofapes!
How can I make more profitable investment in crypto without incurring most losses...?

Я удивлен, что это имя упоминается здесь. На прошлой неделе я наткнулся на показания одного из его клиентов о новостях криптовалюты.
Для новичка очень важно иметь наставника, который будет держать вас подотчетным.

Brock Pierce did good things, but he is a clown
