OK, I don't watch this guy's stuff all the time but he seems smart and he shines light on bullshit. This video is about a youtuber Cody "Whistlin' Diesel" allegedly day trading with some guy named Alex. As you can imagine, Alex is selling a scam.

FOREX is no joke and there is apparently an entire industry of people scamming financial newbies with prop accounts. That's terrifying. If you're thinking about your money and want to make some quick, please avoid this bullshit.

I don't really know who needs to hear this, but don't get your financial advice from random YouTubers unless you're happy to lose every penny involved with actioning that advice.

Right? Someone is listening to these assholes though, or they wouldn't be doing it.
