He sure hates Bitcoin...

This is nothing but a glorified commercial for a bunch of financial asshats.

I watched the video for some 20 minutes when my browser froze. Had to restart the video but got angry that I couldn't fast-forward or something so I ended up just googling what the hell he is talking about. Apparently it's collectible gold coins.

Thank you for the answer.  I watched about 20 minutes and got bored.

Don't new boxed Lego sets outperform gold coins?

Just another Bankster. They thing they can still use this chip propaganda. I think they miss a decade or soo.
It is insult of the intelligence.   There will be more of this A……s . I guess we have to do something about users of the blockchan like this.   Might be grand them status of let say “Bankster”  that will upper each time they log in .
Of course this must be done by democratic voting process of let say 1000 users’ minimum.  I can address that to the development team.

There is one reality that cannot be escaped no matter how much I like the idea of a crypto currency.

Gold is physical, can be held in hand, has always been worth something and people happily exchange it for the things we need to survive. In the event of a SHTF scenario, it is a real insurance policy.

Absolutely. But... I don't think you'd find too many people here who disparage PMs in the way the video disparages BTC. I believe PMs have a place in a diversified portfolio - partly for the "SHTF" reason you mention, partly to spread risk (BTC's volatility risk, the risk I can't access local exchanges when I need, etc). That said, I'm an expatriate worker so right now BTC plays a bigger role in my investments than PMs.

The bolded are flaws as far as a currency is concerned.  People chose paper over gold and silver for the last century+ because it was easier to transport.  Now that money is digital, currencies and many financial instruments can be completely re-engineered.  However, you are correct in that gold can be a nice insurance policy just in case SHTF.

he's selling his report, and he's attacking bitcoin as the marketing angle.
Obviously, if someone invests their money in bitcoin, they can't
invest that same money into gold or whatever else... and since
he can't profit from you investing in bitcoin, he wants you to
doubt bitcoin and think 'where else should i invest'...
 
So everything he says you have to take with a healthy grain
of salt since he has a hidden (or not so hidden) agenda.

I got bored 10 seconds in and gave up.  There are no cats in the first 10 seconds.  Don't bother.

I kept waiting for the Amway pitch.

Any time some sales drone goes on for any length of time without telling you what he is pitching, it is a scam.

I watched maybe 7-10 minutes of it, and realized he wasn't getting to the point. So yea....pretty much scam.

It's not a scam.  He's selling a financial report... Nothing wrong with that in of itself.
Yes, he's putting a negative spin on Bitcoin...  There are other Internet marketers
who are putting a positive spin on bitcoin... and forum posters here are calling it scam too LMAO...

Not everything is a scam, just because it doesn't fit with your ideals or desires.
You don't like what he's selling, don't freaking buy it.

I was really mostly interested to see what he/they had to say in regards to crypto or BTC.
