That girl knows as much about bitcoin as someone who read only 100 hours about it, she's extremely clueless about most of it; she makes all of her money with her book and her coaching…
Totally not a scam. Lol says every scam ever.
This video has not aged well. Ftx collapsing and the contagion now is showing digital currency is super risky without changes.
Very well said , great video
Bitcoin is actually a scam. Silver and gold is not
gold coins is far better then crypto or fiat u can just do as pirat did bury them in the ground try that with bitcoin and see how that works out
btw the Governments cant seize your money as the do not EXISTS any more in any country
Smart young woman, but I’d feel more confident relying on the opinion of a pro with at least a few grey hairs🙂. IMO there is no better teacher than a vet with a few battle scars.
The corporate and government criminals reign of terror is coming to an end
This girl is boring with a capital B !!
David where I live you can buy Cars & Houses & Food with BTC.
I've lost most of my love and interest in bitcoin. If govt gets involved I'll want it less. Blockchain and some form of digital will happen but I think these cryptos are losing steam. I wouldnt touch it at this moment. I don't think digital will ever be a singularity either. The "elites" need a black money market.
Cbdc are basically spy coins control by the government. Biblical nightmare in the making.
Governments ultimately are the factor in all this. They control us
cryptos have shown time and time again they are NOT SAFE whether it be the exchange or wallet
She sounds like she binge watched
Raoul Pal and Michael Saylor
For a full week and is just regurgitating the echo chamber
She says BTC is not a ponzi scheme by describing a ponzi scheme that is BTC. Right.
Does she realize you can't eat bitcoin?
Btc will be worthless in 10 years.
bitcoin was blocked in Canada, during the trucker protest, physical gold is the best
Crypto is is a scam but it’s a lot of fun so I don’t exit it entirely. People jump in at the highs and panic sell at lows. So there goes that hedge. Finiteness means absolutely nothing. 21 m of something that’s worthless is still 21 m times zero. Gold is better only because if the power grid is destroyed by war or disease gold will still prevail as a physical asset. Bitcoin can’t exist without electricity and computers. If there’s no electricity there’s no real possibility to use bitcoin at least not that I’m aware of.
On David's question "if everyone on earth sold their bitcoin could the price go to zero?" The reality is that not all will be able to sell their bitcoin, to sell you need buyers, so someone else would be owning the bitcoin. To be fair though, if the last million people donated their bitcoin to a charity they hated, it could go to zero.
She keeps saying that not every country will be on the same page, however, if it comes to major countries banning the use of bitcoin, where you can use them won't be the big question; it will be "how much is it worth?" in that scenario.
