Anyone who's always speaking "as a millionaire" isn't someone I'd listen to.
The problem I have with it is the extreme deadpan delivery, the arrogance and closeness to reality.
Obviously he’s playing a character; but I wish I didn’t get so much of a “this is serious” vibe.
There are a TON of influencers pump and dumping crypto. Where’s the SEC?
Not familiar with his crypto hustle, but I watched some Martin Kleppman talks on YouTube, and Tech Lead commercials started devouring my YouTube. The algorithm mistook me for not knowing how to code? Not sure. Apparently this tech lead guy created programming videos to teach you how to get hired at big tech companies.

There have been ICOs which definitely have been represented as securities and have been regulated/quashed/fined.
But when not used as a representation of ownership of currencies or assets... what is a cryptocurrency and does it fit into existing law about securities fraud?

This reminds me of a stock market simulation in my Econ 102 class. With a fellow student, we picked a few stocks, and sold them to each other for a very low price, and then bought all of them up as the other students watched the trends.

His channel is satire. The problem I have with it is the extreme deadpan delivery, the arrogance and closeness to reality. Obviously he’s playing a character; but I wish I didn’t get so much of a “this is serious” vibe.
