    I love how this video explores such interesting concepts but it's kinda crazy how nobody's talking about the book called Forbidden Crypto Hacks
  • What is the best strategy to enter crypto trading now for someone with more or less than $6000
  • The shortest way to success is to find a document or book in which everything was explained to you, not half explained. I can recommend the book Forbidden Crypto Hacks. So let me know what your impressions are.
  • Wow, just watched an eye-opening analysis of Bitcoin's latest price twists. It's amazing to see the impact of funding rates, media hype, and big players' actions on the market. This crypto journey is full of surprises, and insights like these are invaluable. It really highlights the power of technical analysis in navigating these waters. For anyone on the fence, now's a thrilling time to dive in and potentially ride the wave to success. The market's complexities are surprising now, but also full of opportunities for the savvy investor...At the heart of this evolution is Russell Greener, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. His holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make him an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment..
  • This is like the 8th video I’ve watched on bit coin and I’m still confused
  • @Greggsberdard
    With the approval of bitcoin ETFs, it's widely expected that the price of bitcoin will soar past $100k. I'd be remiss not to capitalize on this opportunity immediately. I'm eager to invest my $500k in cash savings, which currently languish in the face of inflation. However, I'm concerned: is it perhaps a bit late to maximize profits at this juncture?

    I remember walking by a bunch of people selling Bitcoins in Manhattan 6 years ago. If I knew I would have bought it just for fun but I didnt have any money 😭 😢. This was 2015
  • @haider1163
    What an explanation, now I'm even more confused
  • Please I need help, I lost tons of money on live trade, I thought is the same as demo trade because I was winning in my demo account. This is really frustrating and overwhelming. where do I start please?
  • @warrenwong4518
    A lot of potential scammers in the Youtube Comments, naming names, and other shady marketing. Beware! Upvote this for more visibility.
  • @Stanley594
    Great stuff. I watch several youtube videos on how to trade in the market but haven't made any headstart because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands

    The best way to earn huge amounts is when trading with an expert.
  • Hello, I'm new to forex and bitcoin trade and I have been making huge losses but I recently see a lot of people earning from it. Can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong
  • Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all. I was able to increase my portfolio by $289k in months. You have to seek for help in the right places.
  • Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man without investment and I'll tell you how long it takes to go bankrupt. Investing creates a safe haven for the future. With the right investment choice that has at least a 10% minimum risk and with the advice of an expert, profits and interest is guaranteed.
