That guy, "Joe Blogs", is a clickbaiting doomer. I see his titles from 2 years ago "Bank Run USA Panic", France, Turkey, India, China all allegedly collapsing and having "worthless currency". Meanwhile every 8th video is "Win my 250K beachhouse"

Contrast that with these guys. Top level analysis. Reviews how the system will change trading rules or unwound trades instantly and without warning whenever it needs to. Reviews what happened with the Hunt Brothers and parallels to today. Very reality-based:
