Of course they're scams. Their target audience is people who would take financial advice from an MMA fighter.

They consider Joe Rogan a "life coach".

You mean to tell me the guys who get paid to take punches to the head aren't that bright?

The guy who gets paid to take punches to the head is bright enough - heā€™s getting paid! Itā€™s the people who get financial advice from the guy who gets paid to take punches to the head that we might want to wonder aboutā€¦

This is an interesting case. Danis is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu guy. That's what his claim to fame is, (actually it's mainly training with McGregor) he's actually only had two MMA fights. He hasn't been hit in the head like some of these guys. This guy is just a doorknob. He's really legitimately stupid. Hell laugh at what he says so you kinda think he's joking or trolling, but no, the guy is just dumb.

Honestly, Iā€™d probably take that advice as opposed to the shit heads who ā€œmanagedā€ my money over at fidelity in 2008.

That just sounds like a way to lose your money twice.

Honestly, Iā€™m doing better trusting reddit bros than the previous 21 years with Fidelity.

Your post history would seem to contradict that

Do you remember what happened in 2008?

Sure, but unless you exited at the bottom you should have recovered that many times over in the years since. Comparing that to the dogshit peddled on Reddit is just asinine.

All Coffeezilla does is this "i am so smart" shit to illustrate what everyone in crypto already knows. It's a zero-sum game and you're rolling the dice everyday. Everyone knows the risks.

That's a pretty broad statement and very clearly isn't true. Not "everyone" knows the risks. People gamble, invest, and spend money on things all the time without bothering to learn the risks. There are still people who thinking vaping nicotine is less addictive than smoking cigarettes, still people losing their life savings in Vegas.

And you might make the claim that they're idiots who are the exception, not the rule, but I'm not sure the stats agree. Either way, there are plenty of folks who would gladly take huge risks without truly understanding the stakes, and if even one of them has seen this dude's vids and rethought their next move, then he's done someone a serious service.

Another YouTuber, Ann Reardon, started with just cooking vids, then started debunking fake viral cooking hacks, then branched out into debunking or challenging other trends. She covered electric wood burning (I feel like there's a name for it but it escapes me right now) and how and why certain how-to videos were immensely dangerous. People died replicating them, and many other people chose not to because she shed light on that.

Edit: also pyrography is the word youā€™re thinking of!
