RE: A Haejin Mock Portfolio
It doesn't matter what other callers are doing! The argument Haejin's followers are giving for rewarding his posts so well is how his calls make them money. This is their counter agument to the fact that he does not use his Steem Power to upvote anyone but himself (and a handful of carefully selected Haejin Advocates).
If he is not upvoting his followers content to spread the wealth, then he must be making them gobs of money through his trading advice.
If his trading advice is not making them gobs of money, and is, in fact, losing them money, then this is a strict counter to the argument being made in his defense.
The circle goes round and round.
Au contraire...
If one feels the need to lay a claim against a person's performance then there HAS to be a baseline. This if the original poster wants his claims to be considered intellectually honest in presentation.
Now whether that baseline is absolute or relative is entirely up to the original poster.
Once one sets one's targets and handily demonstrates that Haejin either does not meet the absolute targets that one has set (and keeping in mind that a lack of others who actually do meet those targets obviously nullifies the argument), or performs worse than others who make predictions within the same space (whether due to his same claimed methodology or others), THEN there would be a valid case to call out Haejin's credibility in the matter.
Yes - its a little more work - but its a matter of formulating one's arguments correctly and in an adequately complete format.
There are 2 factors at play with him though
Then early this year, dozens of people suggested that BTC was correcting, he first ignored it (even had alt accounts flag responses), but eventually came around, but that did not stop him from posting TA suggesting several alt coins were still going to moon. If alts are so dependent on BTC trends, then it is terrible TA to suggest BTC is tanking but at the same time all these alts would moon. At one point a user on here was tracking his calls this year at a -70%.
He has these same people needlessly flagging posters who provide good input, but because it doesnt agree with his TA, he wants it hidden. Posts like mine in his BERN, RAIN, bitconnect thread that suggested people research the coin as they are either a scam, dead, etc. How did that work for me? I had my rep take a huge hit from him and his group. He likely made $900 from it. How are those coins doing. absolutely terrible. Like REALLY bad. BCC callout was predicting $550, it is at $1.95.
To be honest, if he was making $10-30 a post based on the people actually reading his content and using it then I would have no problem. The problem is his rewards are a joke and they come from the same whales over and over again. There are people providing TA on here that is on par or better than him that make less than $5 a post.
