Good thing that all these Wall Street CEOs share these nuggets of wisdom with us uncouth plebeians. Their charity is out of this world! Now I just need to know what Jim Kramer thinks of this and I'm good.

The thing is that once upon a time, (I wanna say mid 2000s), there was a large segment of population (e.g. retired people with money) who though Kramer was impartial and who invested based on his advice.

The point of crypto is making these figures irrelevant.

...and replacing them with cryptocurrency CEOs and HN and Reddit commenters whose economic experience is limited to googling the word “fiat” and talking points on free markets? Is that what you mean? Occasionally people are listened to because they have something to offer, like, say, running one of the world’s largest investment banks.
