Confessions of a Crypto Hype-Man

[@Coffeezilla]

So... turns out this timing was INSANE as the crypto market plummets from the top of the bubble... A good reminder to be smart with your money... I for one will probably buy low here, but remember:🤔 Don't panic buy, watch the fees, don't follow hype-men, and don't invest in things you don't understand.

[@marioncobretti8210]

Nah crypto is not a mistake the mistake ppl make begins with a lack of understanding diversification or throwing all their eggs in one basket. The total amount of money Ive invested in crypto is less than 1k and im holding till it hits my target price if it goes down i hold and if i lose it all im ok with that. That is the difference between someone that is responsible and someone that should not invest in the stock market. You do not invest if you would sell at a loss because if your willing to sell at a lose than your not using extra money your using money you need.if you ask yourself under what circumstances would sell and your response is at a certain pt than you cant invest because you need that money for bills or sumtin.

I have no money in crypto but have just followed it as a fascinating human behavioural phenomenon. It’s mostly a dark and miserable reflection on our civilisation, that plays into our instincts and greed, and our innate ability to delude ourselves and to tell ourselves a twisted narrative.

I think something Asger says is really significant - that even people who convince themselves that they're not the bad guys... are still inevitably going to be causing all the same harm as the bad guys. I personally believe that there's no morally neutral way to get rich from financial speculation - because ultimately, you cannot profit from it without someone, somewhere, losing out as a result. And I don't think you can advise people to do it without being complicit in that. It's not just down to the ethics of whether you're getting paid to pump stock, or whether you're just giving your unbiased opinion... the problem is still that one number can't go up without another number going down.

[@marcuswilliams5255]

I find the people who try to convince people they aren’t bad are worse than the people who are just blatantly bad and don’t hide it.

Yes, but everyone in the space wants it to pump so they make money. I don't think you are the bad guy if you are the one who manages to cash out.

Crypto is very much real and it has incredible potential for the medium-long term future, that's for sure.

There WILL be 30-50% drops in the short term and people will freak out, sell, and lose a chunk of their savings. Don't get caught FOMOing into something you know nothing about. My recommendation: - Do your research on how Bitcoin and other cryptos actually work - DCA (dollar-cost average) over the next 1-2 years. - Only invest an amount that you are COMFORTABLE with LOSING!!!

A typical pump and dump conman who knew what he was doing imo (even charged $90 per month for a "no recommend "newsletter).

Lost money in USI Tech. Recovered money because I did not have weak hands. Up for now. Look for use case and team. At end of day the market takes off when a couple things happen. 1. US gets regulations in place.. 2. Custody responsibility is shared or taken with bank or investment company. When a person can walk into a bank and get advice on coins and bank insures them and keeps custody of them. 3. Walk on street with crypto gear other than something that says bitcoin and people know what it is. Customers want ease of transaction and safe storage. When that happens, 6000 projects disappear and 100 stay that have legitimate use case. Please do something on the crooks at USI Tech

Can a government make a law to claim back taxes ? Does Bitcoin facilitate tax avoidance ?

[@Bboytraxx]

They already exist, most countries also have Tax Offices that audits it's citizens' incomes. Bitcoin does facilitate tax avoidance but it's only a matter of time before someone gets audited and spends time in a jail cell.

[@Teslians]

@@Bboytraxx - Exactly. Bitcoiners are just begging to be audited and fined and maybe jailed. The promoters are just setting everybody up for it.

[@Teslians]

@Marcus Apedradus - So, gov't can control adherence to masks offline and can not control Bitcoin online. Do you see how ridiculous this is ?

[@Teslians]

@Marcus Apedradus - Looks to me you know don't understand how connecting online works. You leave a digital fingerprint everywhere. The fingerprints can be traced to you. Example, you use a credit card to buy crypto ... You just put yourself on future audit list. You have the word Bitcoin in your email. This fact can be sold to the Gov't. You are on another list. You have a Coinbase account, congrats you are on another Audit list. (Blockchain is brilliant btw)

[@Teslians]

@Marcus Apedradus - You are ignoring the power of taxation and living in a bubble. Gov't doesn't cease to exist because of protocols. They are the protocol. Good Luck. You will see it once all the offline banks close.

A friend of mine told me one time she was going to be a millionaire in a couple weeks. She really doesnt know why. Her husband his friends "made"a crypto. On a certain date it made them millionaires. She said after that he husband was done. He gets paid and makes the next one

[@snooganslestat2030]

So what happened?

[@JoeKyser]

@@snooganslestat2030 She ended up divorcing him. He was indeed was involved with creating cryptos that look great but had no future. One of the IPOs was not done right and the government was on their ass. Im pretty sure hes still dealing with it. When she found out what was really going on she wanted to get far far away.I dont blame her. The dude was a hustler anyway. He flipped cars and stuff like that. I know he mined crypto a bit. I had talked to him about that and even made some house calls to fix some issues with his mining equipment.

[@theaccountant5846]

This is a great video. I've often wondered about the effect of these youtubers who do stock recommendations, reccomend stocks (BNGO & JAGX are the only examples I can think of off the top of my head) , and immediately after there is a spike in stock price, they sell it. I wonder how many of these people do this on purpose because they have a position in the stock, boost it up, and then cash out... I was considering making videos on stocks because my videos result in minimal views, but ethically I couldn't do it....

[@justinsnider9772]

Unless it’s a penny stock, there is almost no youtuber that can meaningfully effect the price of a stock. If someone was pumping random penny stocks then I would stay away from them. Otherwise it’s just way too small of an influence to move real stocks.

[@thegiftedteacher]

Good lord... JAGX and BNGO are notorious.

[@kylesizemore2751]

The reason why crypto pumping is so effective is because alt coins have such a low market cap and there is no regulation. Some coins are so trash that one guy with 10,000 could move the price. Stocks trading on the nasdaq with several hundred million or billion market caps are in no meaningful way moved by youtubers reporting news.

[@theaccountant5846]

@@kylesizemore2751 The problem is that I keep seeing these KZbinrs pumping biopharma stocks at around 50 cents, and within days they are trading at the 3-4 dollar range...and as an accountant I see no revenues so I can't figure out why the incredible gains...perhaps some of them could be on the brink of some great research, or they could be a pump and dump...But thank you for your observation!

[@kylesizemore2751]

@@theaccountant5846 if they are trading on the otc markets it possible they are being pumped but since you used bngo as an example, they exploded because they reported a 100% increase in service revenue, ark invest publicly took an interest in them, and 3 independent scientific journals acknowledged the potential of their tech while a pilot study was performed which confirmed that their tech has market share amongst pathologists as it eclipses standard khereotyping. All of it happened at once which got the ball rolling for a hype train.

I actually liked his channel. The projects he showed off weren't that bad. No Ponzi or stuff. And I was and still am researching projects anyways. So it was a welcomed addition in lazy times. He did interviews and went through whitepapers and stuff. Sure, some projects failed to deliver but thats life. He then turned into the other "extreme" and even lost trust in BTC.

[@whiteMCHammer]

Wow, i skipped this video in my recommendations for 2 weeks before finally clicking on it to listen to on my drive to work. The guy on the thumbnail was just so sleepy, but I ended up liking the guy. Anybody who is aware of the idea that there is something outside of themselves and what they CURRENTLY believe, and that are self aware enough to say "wait a minute, maybe I'm hurting people much more than helping" and then to make the selling your soul for millions, or saving your soul to simply be aware and be good is incredible.
