Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency markets are at an all time high, the US dollars printing machine is going brrrrrr, and the economy is on the brink of disaster. Buy and Hodl is more like, buy and hope!

Don’t Be Fooled by “The charts don’t lie” SCAM! Technical analysis and charting is all the craze, but does it really work as well as experts would lead you to believe? T/A & the average investor I’ll start off by saying, I personally don’t like market technicians and traders, and here’s why.
