Good video Doug,

I agree it's not inherently wrong to have good things to say about alt coins your invest in. When I want to evaluate an alt coin I have two criteria - "is it currently doing what it's designed to do?" and "is there growing demand for what that coin does?"

For those fresh wading in the crypto space: always be highly skeptical of anyone who engages in price point speculation. That includes hype train conductors who say "XYZ coin will be worth $XXX.XX" or engage in profit projections (For examples just look at some of the other comments here).

People who engage in this kind of hype are willfully ignorant at best, if not deliberately predatory. They presume to have the kind of information that no one in the history of investing has been able to predict consistently. If they're lucky they'll be right about as often as they are wrong.

This may sound like a buzzkill but charting graphs is pseudoscience that leans on our predilections to seek patterns and meaning behind illogical systems. If you follow the advice of these hype train conductors and they are right, you'll be more inclined to leverage more on their next "prediction". When they are wrong, you will go bust.

If you don't have the time to research and understand the things you are investing in then you're better off in a more time tested and regulated market. Crypto is full of red herrings and false flags. It's the wild west out here, and you know what they say in the west.
