If you see any messages from me selling picks, membership services or account management, it is a scam account. I do not manage money and I’m not selling anything.

Sad Truths: - I can rob a bank for 10 mil, get caught, lose it all and spend years in jail. - A financial firm can steal 10 mil , get caught, pay a $100k fine. No jail. Where is the incentive to stop this? You're encouraging the financial firms! #USCongress #Senate #SEC

Hey @jimcramer Your #NFLX "BUY" call from January is down 71%! Do you ever attempt to help people out by saying "Get out!!! I was wrong"? So many people follow you, you owe them that much.

- Banks offer 0.1% on my cash deposits. #Coinbase will give me 4% #SECGov prevents Coinbase from giving me 4%. NO surprise as the SEC is controlled by the traditional financial institutions. What an embarrassment the #SEC is. You should be protecting us from Banks, not Coinbase!

@shinobi_brian @MMCrypto Right now, if it got to 0.1, it would have a market cap of 50 trillion. I’ll bet my left nut, all my possessions, and anything else you want that it won’t happen. Even if they burn another 400 trillion, it would still have a mkt cap of 10 trillion. 5x Apple? No way.
