DO NOT make financial decisions based on the advice of a youtube channel. DO NOT make financial decisions based of of the advice of an an article written by a know associate of Curtis Yarvin. You saw the video yesterday because this is a marketing exercise. They hold a stake in the outcome, you are the greater fool. Christ. Find a professional fiduciary that doesn't have a youtube channel and never speculate more than you can afford to lose.

  Oh so they’re a cryptofascist, for both senses of the word crypto

    If one of those meanings is "one who hides their support for fascism", it doesn't apply, as they've made public displays of support. It's just that most people know them for their technical accomplishments without doing further research on who they are. This is understandable, hence my warning.

      Everyone in the IDW or who followed Mencius moldbug always told normies they weren’t fascist and that you just called them Nazis because you disagreed with them until the current day when they are now more open about being in what they consider a post Constitutional era. That’s why they were called cryptofascists even though I agree they’ve dropped the hidden part since they feel they have the power to get away with it.

  What does this have to do with the merit of his associates' financial advice?

    Don't think about the "financial advice" in isolation. Think of the incentives. Why did they write this post?

This really should be pinned to the top of the thread. Finance-as-entertainment is the world's worst gatcha game. For some reason people love getting suckered by these far right idols, both financially and "intellectually", who in turn are playing three-card-monte with them.
