  1. Came across it on Amazon, and am wondering if anyone here read it yet?

    Funny, had an overview of reading it just now. The author explains why it is normal to loose money in cryptos maybe he is also one of them. Then it is also about justifying the losses as good decisision (on the whole book as he needs to argue) and also maybe keep loosing on cryptos. Laughable book, not worth the paper (or money).

    Is there supposed to be an image or something? If so, it has disappeared. The post does not contain the title of the book or an image... unless there is something wrong with my browser...

    You mean anything else than fulltime trading for a living ? Of course not. I only live from trading and have also no other plans for the next decades. But I read over 1000 trading books, so I have a "nose" for books with good or rich content. Also myself I wrote 1 large scientific book and 4 scientific studies (almost the size of 1 book altogether of those 4 shorter studies in sum), (for obtaining my doctor degree [related to trading (!)]). So I know how to write a good organized book and how it should look like. There is a lot of garbage out there if you just look on Amazon books. Books from Phds and doctors are far more organized and you do get definitely some richer content. But of course there are many other good books too on the lower level, which are readable and have some value. Your mentioned book does not play in that league (very obviously) at all, sorry.

    I'm not running an ad blocker. The original post has blank white space, and one sentence that does not identify the book. Nothing more.

    I've attached a screenshot. Note that the ad from TradeZero is clearly visible.

    The OP did in fact identify the book and its authors in a followup post.

  9. LOL! I've been planning to read it just to see how terrible it is. We've already discussed the author here on Elite Trader recently I believe. The author is literally one of the WORST crypto-traders in existence. So now he has turned bearish and advises to everyone else it is a failure and to get out.

    He recently tried to pump his book on CNBC, and it did NOT go well for him.
