    00:01 hey everyone I’ve been wanting to do a
    00:03 video about why I hate crypto analysts
    00:05 so much and I see tweets like the one
    00:08 I’m about to read you all the time and
    00:10 every time I think the whole analyst
    00:12 Community not just crypto analysts but
    00:14 analysts in general the vast majority of
    00:16 them are complete BS complete BS
    00:19 constantly making predictions that can’t
    00:21 be wrong and so I’m going to read you
    00:23 this prediction it’s probably mirrored
    00:25 the wrong way but this is wrecked
    00:27 Capital um which is a popular Twitter
    00:30 handle that makes predictions but the
    00:32 analysts are all like this okay so I’m
    00:34 going to read it to you I’m going to
    00:35 read you the whole thing and then I’m
    00:36 going to tell you what’s wrong with it
    00:37 because it’s basically what’s wrong with
    00:39 almost all analysts so it says
    00:41 ultimately Bitcoin has uh daily closed
    00:43 above $100,000 so yesterday that 6 o’
    00:46 p.m. which is the official close of the
    00:47 market Bitcoin was just above $100,000
    00:50 when they wrote this ultimately Bitcoin
    00:52 has a daily close above
    00:53 $100,000 however for Bitcoin to move up
    00:56 from here it would need to reclaim
    00:58 $111,000 as support much like it did on
    01:01 December 14 otherwise
    01:04 $11,000 could turn into a new resistance
    01:07 which could mean the downside isn’t over
    01:10 okay so everybody is always predicting
    01:12 something that I’m going to just
    01:13 simplify what I just read to you what I
    01:15 just read to you is Bitcoin is
    01:17 $100,000 if it can’t get back to 100,000
    01:21 $101,000 it’s probably going down now
    01:24 conversely let me say it another way
    01:26 Bitcoin is $100,000 per coin if it never
    01:29 goes down below $999,000 per coin it’s
    01:32 probably up from here well of course
    01:33 it’s up from here I mean every analyst
    01:37 makes these ridiculous stupid
    01:38 predictions that basically says here’s
    01:40 the price if we don’t go up we might go
    01:43 down conversely if we don’t go down we
    01:47 might be going up well of course of
    01:50 course if we don’t go down we might be
    01:52 going up and if we don’t go up we might
    01:53 be going down it’s ridiculous and so the
    01:57 problem with tweets like this this
    01:58 ridiculously stupid tweet from uh
    02:01 wrecked Capital which again is one of
    02:03 like a million analyst predictions that
    02:05 are on Twitter like every day and they
    02:07 come out and these analyst reports that
    02:08 are 25 page long and all this sort of
    02:11 stuff the predictions are always the
    02:12 same and then eventually they always say
    02:14 called it right because if I say Bitcoin
    02:17 is $100,000 and if it doesn’t go down it
    02:20 might go up and if it might doesn’t go
    02:22 up it might go down then no matter which
    02:24 way the price goes immediately I get to
    02:26 go on Twitter and say haha called it I
    02:29 said if it didn’t go below you know 99
    02:32 it was probably going up and then it did
    02:34 go up which means I’m a genius analyst
    02:36 and you should listen to me conversely
    02:38 again they’re always predicting if it
    02:40 doesn’t go above 101,000 it’s probably
    02:42 going down and then as soon as it goes
    02:44 down they’re like called it I’m a genius
    02:46 you should follow me in order for them
    02:48 to be wrong the market would have to
    02:50 basically freeze right so the only way
    02:52 they can be wrong with this prediction
    02:54 is if Bitcoin holds at exactly
    02:57 $100,000 indefinitely which know no high
    03:01 no growing asset ever does that which
    03:03 means you can always predict that it
    03:05 will go up or down and even if you’re
    03:08 wrong uh so this also drives me crazy
    03:10 because analysts are always predicting
    03:13 uh expect
    03:15 volatility so that’s like me sitting on
    03:17 my back patio saying it’s a beautiful
    03:20 day the temperature right now is
    03:23 50° you know if there’s one thing I
    03:25 think that’s in store for us is the
    03:27 weather’s likely to change uh if the
    03:29 temperature doesn’t go up it’s probably
    03:31 going down and if the temperature
    03:33 doesn’t go down I’ll bet you it’s going
    03:35 up and then I can predict the weather
    03:37 every single day like these [ __ ]
    03:38 analysts that are constantly saying this
    03:40 stuff so uh that’s that’s all it is they
    03:43 are virtually always saying things that
    03:46 allow them in retrospect to call it now
    03:48 here’s the thing anytime an analyst
    03:50 calls for you know increased volatility
    03:53 in the meantime expect volatility is if
    03:57 they’re wrong if it just so happens for
    03:59 the next couple weeks that there’s very
    04:02 little volatility that the price just
    04:03 doesn’t change much at all nobody is
    04:06 ever going to go back to those analysts
    04:07 and say hey you said it was going to
    04:10 change and it didn’t because nobody
    04:13 remembers when nothing changes and so
    04:15 just like right now if I said you know
    04:16 50° outside expect temperature changes
    04:19 everyone just expect temperature changes
    04:21 well what if through some miracle we
    04:23 hold that exactly 50° for the next week
    04:26 nobody’s going to remember that I
    04:27 predicted temperature changes and then
    04:29 it didn’t didn’t right everybody only
    04:32 remembers when something changes which
    04:33 means the analysts can always predict
    04:35 that something’s going to change and
    04:37 then when it changes they say they
    04:38 called it and then they try to get you
    04:40 to Subs subscribe to their $29 per month
    04:43 subscription that’s going to enable you
    04:44 to predict the future because they’re
    04:46 going to keep giving you these garbage
    04:48 estimates so it drives me crazy every
    04:50 time I hear somebody talking about
    04:52 support and resistance and making claims
    04:55 that if it doesn’t go up it might go
    04:56 down and if it doesn’t go down it might
    04:58 go up and they always Mas in this
    05:00 extremely complicated technical jargon
    05:03 that I understand so I understand what
    05:05 they’re saying but you also when you cut
    05:07 through it you realize all that they’re
    05:08 ever saying is if it doesn’t go up it
    05:10 might go down and if it doesn’t go down
    05:12 it might go up and if they are so
    05:15 pathetic that they can’t even predict
    05:17 that then they predict expect heightened
    05:20 volatility because they have no idea and
    05:23 it’s like predicting that the weather
    05:25 might change be on the lookout for
    05:27 changing weather everyone be on the
    05:29 lookout the weather might change if it
    05:32 doesn’t get hotter it might get colder
    05:33 if it doesn’t get colder it might get
    05:34 hotter but be on the lookout the weather
    05:37 might change there you go now I can
    05:38 predict the future of weather these
    05:40 analysts are so ridiculous and I see
    05:42 them constantly and it drives me crazy
    05:44 and so finally I’ve decided to do a
    05:46 video about it anyway have a great day
