Friendly reminder that EVERY crypto YouTuber is a shill with no possible way of accurately assessing, or predicting what will happen in this market.

The title explains it.

This statement might be self-evident for some of you here, yet I am baffled by the massive scope and scale these shills have garnered on their respective channels.

I get it. People just want to have some hope. Or, alternatively they succumb to the fear mongering, click baiting that these hustlers shill. But don’t bite.

It’s all bullshit.

I am actually most repulsed by the self-proclaimed “honest” shills who purport that they don’t have they answers, but that they have culled all kinds of data to “better assess” the most likely outcome. One prime example of this is Benjamin Cowen. This YouTuber takes the cake in my opinion. TBH, I prefer the all frills hacks that really lean into what they are, dirt bags (the Carls, the BitBoys, the MMcryptos, etc.) Despite how clearly scummy these guys are—using the sexy big chested models on their thumbnails, or a desperate selfie with a look of dread superimposed over a capitulation wick—you can’t pretend like you don’t know its all an act. They are performers indulging our worst nature — our fear, our greed, our indulgence. But to have someone act like they “actually” have the answers is completely asinine to me. They’re the worst kind of crypto YouTuber imo, and Ben Cowen stands out.

He is a shill, in sheeps clothing. He tries to play the “I don’t have the answers” card, but please check out my premium list with access to all kinds of charts and data dashboards based on prior data that, in actuality, is no better at predicting what will happen then flipping a coin.

I have taken some time to look at some predictions Ben has made, of course always with the caveat, of “but don’t take my word for it” “or don’t take this to the bank,” or, “this isn’t financial advise” etc etc and he has made some huge miscalculations using his data dashboard, premium list croc ‘o crap. The biggest swing and a miss is of course, his claim at lengthening cycles. He built his channel on this proposition, of course based on all kinds “prior data” and cycle trends, blah blah, but as we know now, was wayyy off. Then he claimed to have developed a risk metric to identify areas of high and low risk in the market, which did roughly identified the April peak, but totally missed the November top. And most recently, he was going hog wild on his YouTube channel that BTC dominance would rise “in virtually all scenarios” this bear cycle, and to trade alts and ETH to BTC. This proposition was of course made by drawing very” dubious” conclusions from prior cycle data. And holy shit was he wrong about that.

All of this is to say, be careful whose opinion you trust. Don’t be fooled. BC and everyone else is merely taking a blind shot in the dark, and trying to make a quick buck by building a platform where enough people buy into the charade. But save your time and money. DYOR, and Pick projects YOU trust and make investments that you think have staying power, and that’s it.

No one sure as shit has a crystal ball, not on YouTube, nor on some premium list. It’s just some guy, or gal, capitalizing off your self-doubt, and fear. Don’t drink the kool-aid, especially, especially when they tell you it’s “just dubious speculation, after all.”
