More of the thread:

I was skeptical of the class but was impressed with the advice he gave. No scammer vibes. To sum up, he said he wouldn’t recommend they invest in crypto bc it needs 5-10 years for “the dust to settle.” But if they really want to, he’d only recommend Bitcoin, nothing else

One of the main focuses of the class was teaching seniors how to spot scams. And as ppl have pointed out, yes, bc he thinks it will take another 5-10 years for the industry to find its footing, that’s why he doesn’t think it’s a good investment for seniors

The lecturer is @owenrobertson48 btw! He’s a senior at UT Austin where he’s president of the blockchain club. Give him a follow if you want to keep up w the ongoing classes

    Not sure I have seen this specific combination of crypto guy very often, where he's both a genuine believer yet also not this absurd evangelist for it, thought these guys basically died out in favor of the acolytes but I guess they just kinda hang out in irl clubs, probably fuming at the NFT morons "making them look bad" or something.
