RE: Are You Committing This Crypto Investing Sin?
Hi there . I've been watching your videos for a while and I find it refreshing to see somebody that's questioning everything in this space. Even though in most of your videos you sound sceptical, it kind of serves as a Voice of Reason among all of the hype. I think that is good it let's people think about it a bit more and then make Better Decisions. Or at least it should.
In this video I can see where coming from. You are obviously concerned about the well being of the entire market as well as the participants in the market. Being that the market is dependent on the participants, it is undoubtably far better to have smarter people participating. Because of this I can see you have a good heart, because you're looking out for people that are not looking after themselves.
But here's where I have to disagree. In this world you can't save everybody, especially those who are ignorant and basically do not want to be educated and therefore saved. Regardless of what you are trading or using [ Fiat or crypto ] people are using them as money and they will continue to use them the same way they always did. In every corner of the world, in every country, in all types of economies, they are people making stupid and smart business decisions. You will probably agree that most of the time smarter people come out on top, with the occasional few lucky idiots. However, being that we're all legal adults here and are required to be if we are using digital trading platforms, we should be able to face the risks we are taking and the consequences of those risks.
You mentioned that you kind of want this to happen, so it would be a filter of people you are making uneducated investments. I personally think that you can use it as a "I told you so" moment. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you 100%, but don't take on the burden and the responsibility of trying to save people who are not even concerned about their money and their lives as much as you are. In this game of Life you will see that life isn't fair. But if you're making stupid decisions it probably looks like it's not fair at all. In the end those kind of people will always find somebody else to blame, and the worst thing is it will probably be you anyway.
I am sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but I think you should hear this.
Anyway I'm looking forward to your other videos. Keep up the good work and God bless!
I attempt not to be the "I told you so" person, although I definitely think it so I guess deep down I am that type of person. I don't feel any burden to save people - I just like having a platform to voice my opinion on the sheer stupidity I see in this market. If it helps some people, that's great. But I already know a lot of the people who need the help either aren't in the audience of my channel, or think they are exempt (which has been made obvious to me from seeing people who agree with me in the comments, but then in the same comment illustrate they don't understand what I actually said and are just twisting it to agree with them).
I don't really think of it as disagreements, most of the commenters are voicing, I see it more as pieces of a whole. You created the content from your perspective and in so doing created a forum where others can add to that voice pieces they see from their perspective. What I see in your comment section vs many of the leading "crypto experts" are intelligent conversation and sharing of differing views in a positve way. What you are creating is a powerful thing. I can see it would be difficult to balance between keeping enough armor on to shield yourself from the cruel and negative comments of the ignorant and letting down the shield to allow for some genuine back and forth exchange. Followers can be brutal. I hope it only becomes easier to accept all the respect and graditude you are being shown in these comments for your content.
peace
