Hello everyone :)
First of all I would like to point that this article is not intended to underestimate work that someone is doing, or to trash anyone.
It is rather a warning for all of those people that just recently started to get involved into crypto world (same as I did), not to take everything for granted and to do your own research.
So the reason for me to write this article is this guy Suppoman Udemy, you can also find him here on steemit where he describes himself as a "Teacher & YouTuber with over 600,000 followers".
On his udemy page he is "a Social Media Guru with nearly 1 million followers".
Well to start those numbers do seem a bit questionable, but I won't go into that, I will focus on his crytpo channel where he calls himself an expert.
Problem that am finding with this guy is that he seems to be misrepresenting stuff, which could be dangerous to people that are following him. Basically what I think he does is commenting on events looking back at what happened historically, so that he could reinforce his role as an expert.
This is why I think that.
If you look at video published on 10th June called RIP DIGIBYTE? The RISE of NXT, Einsteineum, Iconomi & Bitshares!, somewhere after a minute hes trashing DGB and saying how he entirely sold it.
Next video published on 11th of June he was saying how he bought back into DGB and it's a good time to buy it, you can view that video here somewhere around minute 3.
Now let's fast forward to his Jun 21st video How to make HUGE GAINS, not SMALL ones with Cryptocurrency!💰🤑, here you can look at him saying how he
sold DGB on June 10th and never bought back in.
Interesting, isn't it?
To make it even more interesting hes ending that video with a rant saying how other youtubers are doing historical commenting, talking shit etc. Which to me it seems like a not nice thing to do, and he does come of like a hypocrite, looking what I showed you above.
Also, hes saying how he doesn't want to show his portfolio, which is quite ok, but looking at what hes doing one cannot seem not to wonder, is he even making investments that he is suggesting?
Or could it be that his actual businesses model is getting followers to monetize his udemy courses(over 20 of those) and get revenue from social media streams?
If you are not aware how that works @jerrybanfield explained it nicely in #1 Secret to Making Money with Any Cryptocurrency!, title seems a bit of-topic and it's not the most interesting video of his that I seen, but he did provide a lot of insight and interesting information for people that don't know how this stuff works, so I would recommend that you watch entire video.
Don't get me wrong I don't mind Suppoman doing hes stuff, certainly if you are totally new to crypto and watching his videos, or signed up for his course it could be useful to you. I even learned few things from his videos, and am thankful to him for that, but I don't appreciate bullshiting, and consequences that could have to his followers.
Everyone that knows more on the subject than you do can call him self an expert, but is Suppoman actually expert in crypto field? I don't think he is, and I don't think misleading people is a good way to make money.
I think that it should matter to everyone how they make their money.
So, make sure to make your own decisions, and don't follow so called "experts" blindly. In the end you will be the one that will take consequences of those decisions, and if you lose your money investing based on their advice, suppoman's of the world won't be really affected by it.
