[@tylerhoney7804]

Reminds me of when you and Andrei Jikh were promoting BlockFi , I can only imagine how many people you hurt.

[@desiv1170]

Just for clarity, they also said to get your Bitcoin and them pull it out into offline storage. I remember Andrei in particular (not saying Graham didn't also, just that I remember it from Andrei) before it crashed telling people it was looking bad and they should pull everything out... I had some minor bitcoin in my BlockFi wallet... It was frozen during the problems. Eventually they opened up the wallets so I could pull it back out, which I did... (And funnily enough, it's now worth more.) Blockfi in particular was very strong in saying that coins in people's Blockfi wallets were those people's coins, not Blockfis, and they followed thru on that.) Also, if someone suggests I do something and reminds me that it is risky (which they did), and I do it and lose money... (And they didn't lie about things trying to convince me to invest...) That would be on me. I take responsibility for my own actions... I got lucky and didn't lose my couple of hundred bucks. But had I lost it, it still would have been on me. (And FTX and possibly Blockfi if they knowingly lied (which FTX definitely did.), but still partially on me because I am aware that Crypto companies can be what FTX was.)

[@TheCheeseman37]

i would like to see him respond to this

[@desiv1170]

So many people need someone else to blame for things nowadays... Interesting... I know, I'm old and it's a "get off my lawn" moment. ;-) Neither of those two are financial planners or accountants or financial experts. They are guys on KZbin who talk about finances. In my opinion, if someone takes their advice and it goes bad, that is on the person taking their advice, not on them. Now, if my financial advisor, who is a professional that I go to for financial advice, advised me to invest in/thru BlockFi, then it would be different. And if one actually listens to what they have said over and over in their vids, they do talk about risk and only investing in Crypto with what you can afford to lose... But people still do that (Heck, I threw in $200 myself) and when it goes bad, blame others. As a side note, my $200 (never invest in Crypto more than what you are willing to lose, and I am cheap) that was locked up in FTX when the trouble hit, I figured was a total loss. I didn't blame them... And later, I was able to withdraw it and not it's worth like $800... Crypto is funny that way... And it is basically gambling, not investing... Note: I am not a financial advisor and no one should ever listen to me about anything, especially money! ;-) ;-)

[@Phoenix11720]

I'm out of the loop, what happened with BlockFi?

[@desiv1170]

@@Phoenix11720 They were caught up in the FTX problems as FTX had "given" them a lot of funding. As a result, when it turns out FTX didn't have the money they said, BlockFi had major issues too. BlockFi at the time locked all access to any crypto. Bankruptcy was declared. BlockFi kept maintaining to the bankruptcy courts that whatever coins were in one of their customers wallets didn't belong to BlockFi but to the customers and should be released to the customers. The courts eventually agreed (it took a long time). That isn't all of it tho, as some people had money/coins actively in BlockFi accounts (not in the customers wallets) and that is still in talks about how much of that will be able to be returned. (I didn't ever have any money in those accounts.) I saw something recently that the courts said what is remaining of FTX did have to pay a large amount back to BlockFi, so hopefully that will help some of those accounts as well... One of the good things about the recent resurgence of Bitcoin is that it might mean people can get back more of their money, at least as it was valued when the FTX crash hit. And, I'm sure there are WAY better descriptions of what happened and is still happening. ;-) Just my ramblings/thoughts on it...

I think the second advice is about what I heard Charlie Munger once said. It's harder to reach 100k, then from 100k to a million. The time it compounds and grows is going to be shorter. So go all out and make your first 100k, because that is the difficult part.

Unless you are a certified financial advisor with years of experience working with a broad spectrum of clients, I’m not giving you not one second of my day. It’s sad that people are getting advice from Tik tok grifters who are just seeking engagement.

[@jdrewsdraws]

I’ve been spending some time trying to understand what makes a good story, and our interest in most topics comes down to levels of absurdity. So many of these financial TikTok’s get so viral because a lot of creators are really skilled at taking a mundane topic like finance and twisting it to make it seem extreme or exciting.

[@PushingPistons]

Man I got excited when I saw my Lamborghini video in the thumbnail! 😂 Been watching your channel for a long time Graham 🙌

[@ittueaday]

On that first clip, you just look at the reverse. Ok so he's saying guys that had bad childhoods are more successful... ok? Well how about the opposite, how many bad childhoods didn't make someone successful, or how many successful people had good childhoods? I would argue a lot more

[@c7042]

My dad was conservative financially, never got rich, but we never lacked. I'm conservative financially, not rich either, but I really doubt my family will lack either. I'm 75 have $260K+ savings invested conservatively, retired, and will probably pass the entire $260K+ to my heirs. As to what that's going to be worth is up to the government.

That 3rd clip is hilarious. I get where he’s saying find the flows of cash and go where the flows are going. The problems? By the time you hear of it, you’re either at least debatably insider trading which is illegal, becoming an institutionally accredited private investor which is tough for most people to have the money to do, or you’ve missed the boat in terms of getting most of the good returns

Yeah. I mean. On that first one, I definitely agree with you. I recovered from ptsd. I have a complex path. I think where he's coming from is that many people in that mode don't have a lot of energy for everyday life. But they sure can find it in crisis mode. So you're sort of hacking yourself knowing how you'll respond. It's not a healthy way of dealing with the situation. The better solution is to go get therapy. Work on yourself first. Then come back to all of this when you're healthy. But someone who's struggling like that. They don't know how to handle something that is not an emergency.

[@chinwenduejezie8699]

OMG Graham your commentary cracked me up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@j.asmrgaming1228]

I might be reaching, but I think what the guy using the river metaphor is talking about the when there's a gold rush the people getting rich are selling shovels. if you know understand the flow of business/money in a given system it's easier to position yourself in the best place to make money.

[@The_R_Vid]

Similarly, if you want to get ahead of inflation, put yourself closer to the money printers. Beware though, periods of government austerity can be detrimental to a lifestyle built too close to the horse's trough.

Be sure to do your research on anyone that says they are a fiduciary. Currently there is no governing body or standard that has to be met for a “fiduciary“.

True. My mom is one for my brother who is disabled through the VA. There is really no bar or checks except for some once a year paperwork.

[@CarysCorner]

@@samanthatheminimalist do you mean that there is a law? Or do you mean that it fiduciary does not act in the client best interest the only recourse is to sue?

[@CarysCorner]

@@samanthatheminimalist This would make a plaintiff whole if they can prove that the financial consultant did not act in the client’s best interest. However, this could be difficult to prove depending on the circumstances. It would be better if there were a standard to meet or a governing body to determine what a fiduciary actually is. Currently, this is not the case.
