3 predictions · 2 assertions · 2 opinions · 1 insight · 2 disclosures · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 5 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 2 are resolved, 1 is not yet assessed, and 2 name no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

Their most notable supported claim

Assertion Supported

SubClout coin grants platform access, not equity ownership

“When you buy the coin, you're not buying stock in the company, right? Those are two separate things. It's like a way to get rewards. So the reason to buy sub cloud coin is not because you get X percent of the company. It's because you get to use the platform, …”

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Max Metcalfe on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Opinion

Token markets for undisclosed private companies create high fraud risk

“Like all of a sudden you're a stock market for private companies who don't disclose any data. And I think like the potential for fraud and the potential for hurting investors more than helping them in the longterm is pretty high there.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated

SEC will not allow unregulated private company token trading in US

Opinion

Consumers prefer holding equity over paying monthly SaaS subscriptions

“We want to build a platform that enables people to have the option of paying 10 dollars a month for Spotify or owning two shares of their stock. And if you could have that choice, I feel like most people would choose to own two shares of their stock, given tha…”

Insight

Prediction Open · timeframe Apr 2024

BitClout will likely eventually offer a native gated newsletter

“So, like, the possibility that BitClout will eventually offer a premium newsletter where you can do a long form post to your top X holders of the coin, the possibility that actually is pretty high, I think. Very high.”

Prediction Held up

BitClout will not offer fiat payment options alongside creator coins

“The possibility that they will also say you can access this if you pay 10 dollars a month or if you own the coin is very low. Because they want to bring people into the community. They don't want to give people that option of using fiat currency.”

Disclosure

SubClout charges creator coins instead of fiat currency for access

“No, we don't charge fiat for our tool. No, we charge creator coin for our tool.”
