Listen to what people say but pay very close attention to what they do NOT say. With regard to Anthony, pay attention to what happened with FTX and why Anthony says nothing about it. With the Bitcoin ETF finally approved and sales underway, the defunct exchange FTX has shaken up the market by selling off one billion dollars worth of shares in Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust. Although FTX’s 22 million shares in GBTC were appraised at a value of $597 million in a 2023 bankruptcy court, the brief spike in Grayscale’s stock price caused these shares to be worth $1 billion at time of sale. The lesson here is that if you commit fraud, you'll be $400 million richer. If you're poor and black and sell cigarettes on the sidewalk, you'll be murdered by police.

Pomp has become very cautious over the years. Maybe that's what happens once you reach a certain level of wealth, you're afraid to lose it. His posts are much less bullish than they were in 2019 and 2020, which makes me kinda sad. Feels like we lost a real one lol

Not sure about that. Anthony pontificated that Bitcoin would reach $100k by the end of Decemeber 2022. He was wrong, and what did he say when he was wrong? Nothing... like every other self-professed financial expert when they get things wrong. You're a genius when you're right. You dodge responsibility when you're wrong, no different from our politicians.

Why be overly bullish, what comes from that? He got people wrecked with being overly bullish with BlockFi. Had $150K targets for BTC last cycle. Just gives people false hope. Would be rather have someone be realistic and cautious than steer people to slaughter. Just my 2 pennies. Cheers

Anthony was also involved with FTX. A day before the FTX scandal broke, Anthony cancelled and deleted all videos on his Best Business Show YouTube channel. He looked like a deer caught in the headlights, giving the excuse that he was cancelling his show because he, "wanted to spend more time with his family." Anthony knew there was no risk management team at FTX. He knew that FTX had no regulatory or safety protocols and yet he continued to push FTX and BlockFi. Anthony has yet to come clean about how much money he made from defrauding investors.

I get it. I lost over 6 figures in BlockFi and only got in becaus of Pomp's praise for them. Just have to be more careful and don't take what influencers say as gospel.

Insane. I'm sorry. I've heard multiple times Anthony talk about how he doesn't need more money. He's not into Bitcoin because of greed. If that's true then why doesn't he make guys like you whole? He won't because that would be an admission of guilt. For you there's a lesson to be learned. The law, however, must investigate and prosecute, but they won't. Donald Trump has been committing financial crimes for 50 years and no one did anything about it. Crime pays.

Look at your comments, David. You're a total victim, including so many people in this space who aren't looking to genuinely learn something but are really here just to get rich off Bitcoin while you judge Pomp for being "greedy." Funny how judgements are always a self reflection.

Focus on taking 100% accountability for your own life.

Pomp is a human, like you. He writes what he wants. The beauty is you can take all, some, or none. I don't take everything he says as gospel and neither should you.

Is your life that miserable dude?

Dallas: "I lost over 6 figures in BlockFi and only got in because of Pomp's praise for them" - and you still haven't learned the actual lesson of why you lost money. Another victim!

"Total victim?" We've never met. You know nothing about me but somehow you know everything about me. Must be magic. Nice to meet you.
