@ellielikesmath 6 ай бұрын
the reality is that "finance bros" are just investors that failed. if there was some reliable way to tell based on the manner of the sales pitch if someone is pitching an investment you should be interested in vs one you should not be, then that would be exploited by fraudsters too. the lesson is that people who take "holier than thou"/"it's just an MLM, right?" attitudes towards crypto bros are trying to understand why some of them failed and some did not, which is not too distant from being a crypto bro themselves. just own it lol

I absolutely LOVE the format in which this information gets delivered to the viewer. The background research and accuracy of finer details are supremely impressive.... but that's not even the best bit. The way Dan always undercuts himself by ridiculing his qualifications or inserting juvenile humor in the midst of a serious conversation - that is the "genius" element of his unique format. It's packed with more info than a typical CNN, WSJ, etc. news article, but never bores or alienates the viewer into thinking that he/she does not belong to this esoteric world of high finance.

You should look up how Encompass has bought/is buying all beer/wine/alcohol-tracking software companies. It's a monopoly under construction and they fired my friends in restructuring.

@@tomlxyz I mean in 2021/early 22, Gemini Earn would have been generating higher yields than junk bonds. You have to know that there's a high level of risk associated with earning that level of interest, even if Gemini is waving it off. It's not FDIC insured, it's not safe, and it's not a place to park any amount of money that you could not afford to lose tomorrow.
