My greatest happiness is the $28, 000 biweekly profit I get consistently

I undeniably treasure the update on crypto we are getting from you, <for me i think predicting a trend reversal is dangerous, and I feel there is more to this market than we now see. People do not strive to grow their average when they are losing, but this can change if you have a personal trade guide and signal source like Kerry Pickett, who has made me almost 9.5 on a 2 btc trade capital over the last 10 months. Make an informed decision. Markets go through cycles that can range from a few days to several years. It's difficult to establish a bullish case for B -TC merely by looking at the charts...

“We do not expect significant spill-overs from the subprime market to the rest of the economy or the financial system.” - Ben Bernanke, May 2007

I don't go to the fed for crypto advice for the same reason I don't call the old folks home for tech support.

Btc It is a valid currency in 2 countries in less than 12 years of existence already

Everything this man is saying is actually the opposite of what will happen.

FEDS LOST ALL CREDIBILITY THATS WHY WE ARE NOW SEEING THEM SPEAK SO FUNNY 😆

[CmdrTigerKing]

I'll stick with the system that isn't manipulated to benefit a select few. Thanks though.

Tesla stock is also not going to be money so I guess I should never buy Tesla stock. Dumb. Ppl will buy bitcoin because it serves a purpose that money doesn’t: it stores wealth.

Hey guys GOLD has value because you can use it to fight against cavities 🦷 🤣

[ramatuaudu]

Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60, 000 returns from my $7, 000 investment every 13days's

[ThomasSirianniEsq]

Bitcoin is going to be used for illegal activities?? This guy is so far out of touch it’s ridiculous

[robgray]

Of course he says this he’s part of the fed money system

[sealobo]

he's completely clueless, with talking points from 5 years ago.

[Sharpp]

Fascinating he can't say 'STOP PRINTING RECORD AMOUNTS OF MONEY!'

[leiwei]

<Honestly, I have incurred so much losses trading on my own, I trade well on Demo but I think the real market is manipulated. Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I’m doing wrong.

[t.t.]

Alternative title: Buy as much Bitcoin as you possibly can before it's too late

[brendandegal]

"Bitcoin will not become an alternative form of money." It already is, ya dingus!

[truepersona]

The good old days of cheap Fed money are over. Before buying any stock make sure the Price to Earning PE is less than FOUR !?! The 99% of S&P 500 are living on borrowed money and time !

[julianschmahl]

Ofcourse he says that. He represents the traditional monetary system and is personally responsible for the demise of that system.
