Given that he recently announced he will be participating in the launch of a crypto analysis website (with Tone Vays) - maybe there is something to his advice? While I don't necessarily value Tone Vays advice at all, there are many who do it seems.
Nah, I think this is a classic move where they move on to sell "lectures and discourses" at a price to "help" people get rich. Little do they know, Tone Vays, et al. profits off of them instead of actual crypto trading.
I'm willing to bet most people who are fervent supporters have no idea how Steemit works. They see a $200-300 post and they assume it's because it's extremely popular. Little did they know, it's an illusion created by using 2 large votes.
Those 300+ tiny votes don't realize that they probably only attributed to less than $1.50 on his posts.
