definitely agree with Noel’s sentiment about loss in investing. every website will say “understand the risks / volatility / etc.”, but I almost feel like it should be as blatant as the fair credit reporting act made credit card info. literally a giant “YOU COULD LOSE ALL OF THIS MONEY” before you’re allowed to buy. it could protect hopeful, but uninformed buyers.

Underrated comment

[@vibrantgray]

Slick transition from “Luna crashed and people are feeling Really Bad” to the Better Help ad lol

[@pabuy5766]

KSI's tweets are still probably good su*cide prevention if we're being honest. Yes, he's much richer than the people on the subreddit seriously contemplating but they need to hear positivity from someone who went through it. Absolutely none of the celebrity ambassadors are ever gonna admit anything. Friends, family, etc. are still a reason to stay alive, even if it's no financial solution...

[@aaaa-xf3hx]

I get what you mean, its his way to cope but for the average person. You lose over a million you no longer have a family

[@pabuy5766]

@@aaaa-xf3hx i guess i meant more like ur parents or siblings and i hope they’d stick around for most people in some way regardless of money loss. i get not everyone’s family is the same though. i understand what u mean, marriage & kids would be extremely strained. KSI is absolutely speaking from privilege & the perspective of someone who didn’t lose everything. i do think giving up & giving in to depression/anxiety is a surefire way to guarantee your relationship will never recover after extreme financial difficulty like this though. a lot of marriages went through even worse in 2008 & made it out so it is possible.

[@aaaa-xf3hx]

Honestly, despite KSI’s reckless financial, decisions I do respect him being open and public about things like struggling with purpose and meaning on the daily. That’s huge for an influencer. I just started therapy and seeing him post that brought me comfort.

[@CSpottsGaming]

Completely agree. Like I think it might have been responsible to separate those tweets from each other but I respect that he's transparent about the fact that his life (and the lives of people who live like him) aren't all sunshine and rainbows, and that financial stability doesn't guarantee happiness.

Yo I get what you mean but this comment has me rolling "This rich influencer lost a fuck ton of money and that brought me comfort."

[@oisinmckenna1054]

@@troglodytebrain it’s nothing to do with him losing money. It’s the fact that he’s openly talking about him dealing with depression and getting therapy to remedy that. That’s immensely comforting given that I grew up with him on my screen playing fifa.

[@Bob-bl3pf]

I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP) and also a millennial, 26yrs old. One of the first things we do with clients is take them through an exercise showing them how much they could lose in the stock market. Not to scare them, but to gauge their level of comfort in risk. You’re right though, too many people are wanting to just rich quick and the harsh reality is that it’s a slow grind. Stick to the s&p 500 index if you’re young and call it a day. It gets more complicated when you start to enter retirement. Wish i could get this message across all gen z and millennials

I related to that wholeheartedly. I don't know about you, but I contextual money loss in hours worked and I feel it in the pit of my stomache.

[@stay_rad]

Noel loving Hamilton and then getting sponsered by Redbull is the funniest shit.

[@CSpottsGaming]

Kudos to Noel for being respectful about the whole Luna thing. I think it's very easy for people to revel in the schadenfreude of seeing crypto bros lose everything but Noel is mature enough to realize that for some people this is a massive deal. Separating your dislike of crypto bros from your feelings about people who didn't have that money to lose and simply didn't know better is big and I think it speaks volumes about his character.

[@QuentinLax]

Definitely do the video on each others channel. Watching Cody do a stand up bit with a mic and big ass headphones while Noel sits and reacts to fallout shelters for house cats, that’s good.

[@yuanfei46]

cody's acting here is giving very Jason Sudeikis

[@MissingTexture]

oh yeah. Noel’s form is what blessed him here, cody wouldn’t even know where to begin. You can totally tell he is all in his head. Noel, on the other hand, hell- the other SPECTRUM- is calm, cool, and collected. He’s calculated. He’s ready. He’s here. He is preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. He succeeded in outshining the competition- even with faulty gear. It is revolutionary- this moment, it will live in infamy. Cody won’t live this down. As a community, we have to hold him accountable. He cannot be allowed to move forward with his golfing career. #CodySucKo

It's hard to feel any kind of schadenfreude over the whole crypto crash in the reality of it - it's just incredibly sad and unfair, and I completely agree with Noel that the reality check of 'what if you lose everything' should be emphasized at the start rather than like...when it's actually happening. Really really sucks.

My brother had a lot of money in crypto and he’s 19, just graduated high school. Everything he invested in has plummeted and he’s been really depressed. I knew this was going to happen eventually, you shouldn’t invest a large part of your finance if you’re not ready to lose it all. To everyone who is a young adult and is hurting from crypto, I love you and it will be okay. Life does this thing where it brings you down and it brings you up again. Don’t lose hope.

[@matthewanthony5606]

I'm conflicted about the whole crypto situation. On one hand, I can't imagine how difficult it must be realising that everything you have is essentially gone. But also, no-one does their research on crypto. Most people wouldn't spend their life savings on Tesla or Apple shares, and yet people will do it for an unproven, unregulated cryptocurrency that has only been around for a few years. They don't deserve to have this happen, but also they made dumb financial decisions without doing any proper research or planning.

[@doie2105]

i think for some people it's sheer desperation, trying to find a miracle fix. But i agree throwing your life savings into something you haven't at all researched is a terrible idea :/

[@PalitoSelvatico]

I agree, but I think what he said is important tho, the part of we seeing it everywhere. Everybody are promoting it, everywhere the news talk about how much money they make, damn even my friends are working on crypto companies and making money. When you see it on a Superbowl ad it makes it seem like a reasonable thing, so people trust. Turns out its the biggest scam in history.

[@thomaschristensen9469]

I'm ngl.. I have no sympathy. They invested everything they had into a risky digital coin investment and they lost. I don't have any issue with people who invest in crypto, matter of a fact it's probably best that you do/did, but you have to be fucking stupid to put everything you have into it. You never do that no matter how "safe" the investment looks.

[@samthornton6668]

@@thomaschristensen9469 I feel the same way

[@OscarRodriguez-wm7dg]

@@thomaschristensen9469 yeah I'm kind of in the same boat. One of the first things you're taught in any high school economics class and just general life advice is diversification i.e. don't put all your eggs in one basket. I'm conflicted.

[@crysiik3231]

Even if any investment seems secure, hyped up, and you feel you're ahead of the curve. Never invest more than you're willing to lose, the #1 take away from my finance classes in business school. Also, diversify, so you don't lose everything at once. It's really unfortunate to see something like this happen again with uninformed investors.

[@AKindJester]

I'm with Cody on refusing to go to the theater. Last time I went (for The Batman and Morbius) the entire theater was dirty, stunk, someone kept ripping ass (smell-o-vision for Morbius) and we were in one of those surround sound cinemas but a good 4 or more speakers were shot so the audio was shoddy. Vouched to never go again and just wait for streaming/rental. The biggest plus being we can pause to use the bathroom, closed captions, and we can eat/drink whatever. Cheaper than the cost of a ticket and concessions.
