#LessonsInCryptocurrency Week 1

For my inaugural post, I'm actually going to be following up on a twitter post from earlier in the year.

First, Here is my post and accompanying picks from January 8th 2018:

In this weeks #LessonsInCryptocurrency,

It's a three-parter:

1. Don't buy the dead cat bounce after an all-time high.

2. Don't take #cryptotrading advice from @CNBC.

3. #Ripple? Really? That's what you get.

The overarching lesson that went unsaid was "Don't' trust CNBC for Cryptocurrency Advice". Maybe I should have spelled it out, (I did, didn't I.

Then this happened:

CNBC teach you how to buy #Ripple $XRP</a> at over$3 and how to sell at under $1. Anybody? Here is a link where they grilled me for explaining why <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc$300 too, but to be fair they we’re the 2nd major TV channel to cover our sector hard https://t.co/2PdVtAsJQ4 pic.twitter.com/e77YevLLMu

Somehow, I can't figure out what would have been worse investment advice.
Taking lessons from CNBC or lending to BitConnect.

Anyway, HODL on my peops.
