"this is not financial advice" is me helping people with homework & adding "but I could be wrong though" at the end to save myself lmao
lmaoooo i do this all the time
the difference is you're actually trying to help them tho. scammers purposefully give u the wrong answers to fuck up ya grades and then be like "but idk lol!!!🤭"
literally gotta make sure my bases are covered can’t nobody be mad at me 😂
Wise.
😂😂 on point 👌🏼
This is just dad sitting us down and telling us how to handle our finances. Thanks, dad.
lmaoooo
Buy high. Sell low
Idk he has more like an older brother-vibes to me
grandpa *
@croissantcrust literally this
Mad respect for Cody that even after he was kidnapped and placed in a room at some shady motel in Arizona he continues to make videos
LMAOOO
hahahaaa
lmfaoooo fkn stop I had to sign in just to comment how perfect this is
THATS WHAT I WAD THINKING OMFG
from Arizona, can confirm that we've held Cody hostage.
the more I learn about cryptocurrency the less I understand about cryptocurrency
Just have a responsible amount of money in BTC & ETH and right now it’s really low so it’s a good time to buy. That’s really the only sound advice anyone could give at this current juncture.
Thank God I’m not the only one lmaoooo
y'all I didn't even know there were other cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin, I always assumed stuff like Dogecoin was just a meme (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Same
@@CombatOstrich There's about 10,000 listed ones
The only influencer that is actually telling people NOT to buy.
Which is dumb, wait till it goes to its lowest, then buy, it's gonna go back up
Elon Cum Coin 🪙
He didnt say that did he? He only warned about shitty "joke" coins made to scam people
Tbf he wasn’t explicitly saying don’t buy at all. He was saying be careful when buying and by that he means research the fuck out of what you’re buying which is sound advice. If anyone watches this video and still goes out to buy Safemoon or SHIB, they’re fucking morons
@@jsurridge5001 exactly, putting money into things like ETH or ADA when they're low right now isn't bad, it's putting money into some shitty meme coin that people have paid influencers for to promote them and pull a quick rug pull that people should now do.
ponz eye scheme
Get a dictionary homeslice, could do you some good my boi
Lol this comment is so far down
why does this have 22 likes
Launch chode coin I probably won’t buy it but I want news outlets talking about it
no yeah dude for sure
Dude is so funny I forget how smart he is. Man studied computer science at Duke and created/sold a fairly successful app. Now he makes many more millions on UA-cam. Impressive guy for real.
Fax bro . You know you’re making good money when you have big ass windows. Also he was making fun of LA Range Rover drivers only to become one lmao
@@toby8266 that doesn't take away the fact tat he is smart and an amazing UA-camr for 3 years now. you are trying your best to put him down so u could feel good about yourself. him driving range rover triggered your ass
@@fatima-jc8do bruh u the only one mad he was makin a joke
@@muemuemue it was a trashy one then
You needed him to tell you this info and call him smart for doing so.
More fool you.
I appreciate seeing the pre-youtube career side of Cody's brain
Saying "this is not financial advice," is the new "its just a prank bro."
this is the darkest thing i've ever read
reminds me more of the "no copyright intended" youtube days
They say that “not financial advise” because they don’t want to get sued by you when you lose money to ponzi’s like shiba.
I'm stealing this comment it's just prank bro
yeah but hopefully nobody dies from it like "its just a prank bro"
why does cody look like he’s staying in the apocalypse bunker from the last vid

LITERALLY THE PERFECT COMMENT BC UR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT JSBSKWBS
he’s prepared i respect that🙏
the window is 100% a screen
Everyone: Ponzi scheme
Cody: *PAWN'S EYE SCHEME*

He’s Canadian, we’ll let it slide
Okay it’s not financial advice but...
It’s quick,
It’s easy,
And it’s free,
Pouring river water in your socks.
A genius
Wasn't this on tumblr lmao
“why would i do that” “it’s quick it’s easy and it’s free”
Unless you have no river nearby.....
this is proof I would listen to cody talk about anything.
literally.
Seriously though🤣 If there’s one thing I thought I wouldn’t be learning about on a Monday aftetnoon, it was capitalist scams
Yeah he could talk about anything and I'd listen
Same :/
Same honestly
I always forget that Cody was an engineer and isn’t just a commentator for Cut
right he literally went to DUKE an amazing super hard to get into school in my state
Lolllll
I became an Engineering student cause I was watching a Cody ko vid and he mentioned that he was an engineer
The transition was frictionless

@@JunkBondTrader he’s shitting on the scam pump and dump coins as he should, not crypto as a whole get over yourself
Basically the creator of a new coin will message influencers to sponsor them and will either give them money or some of the coin. The influencers will promote the coin on social media and when their fans start buying a ton of the coin, the price of the coin will go up. Once the influencers/creators/early buyers see it start to peak, they sell all of the coin to make a decent profit. This leaves all the fans who bought a bunch of the coin with no money and a worthless coin.
exactly
@@JunkBondTrader sounds like someone who lost money on cumrocket coin
cody: explains the complexities of cryptocurrency scams
also cody: pronounces ponzi like bonsai
This radiates your dad giving you sound financial advice energy
Not my dad.
jokes on you because my dad has never given sound financial advice
In 2012, when bitcoin was sub-$20, I had $6,000 set aside that I was going to invest in bitcoin, and I was told ALL MY LIFE, “Listen to your elders.” So I thought, yea, I’ll do that. My dad was a CPA and later an account manager for fuel contracts for a major power company, and my uncle was a CEO for a major bank in my city for many years. They both said, “It’s too risky, you shouldn’t invest.”
I learned, “if it’s tech related, I _CLEARLY_ know better, screw what my elders say.” SMFH... I lost hard.
Never invest what you can't afford to lose, pay your bills, pay yourself, THEN invest. Good luck moon pals
Lol but he literally spit fud on safemoon and used a known scammer that was immediately identified for his bs!
I dont know if this makes sense, but Cody looks like how the room behind him looks like.
lmfao
...white
he jus needz 2 brush hiz hair
or maybe hez jus fresh out da shower
Lmao
Mad respect for Cody for not taking advantage of this himself and going out of his way to educate people and prevent scams 📈📈📈
My coworker is a typical crypto investor. Constantly talks about how he’s going to be a millionaire in a year, how everyone else just doesn’t get it, how it’s going to make the US dollar irrelevant, yada yada. It’s hilarious but also sad.
I’ve worked within the crypto landscape, the technology is legit. I tell people all the time to invest in it (not finance advice lol). If you do research it’s a smart long term investment if your young so props to your coworker

I’ve been thinking about this too haha
OMG LMAOO
''This is not legal advice'' is like me helping my friends with tests and stuff and adding 'Idk tho' at the end just in case I'm wrong and they fail...
This is possibly the most loving thing I’ve ever seen a huge UA-cam do for their fans. Just lookin out for em, doesn’t want them to get scammed :,)

There’s going to be a day.. where people won’t be blinded by money and know that the fruit of riches is helping each other. Seeing each other thrive and doing good for themselves. Thanks Cody for being so kind!
if that day ever came i feel like the world would end.
Amen
Never gonna happen unfortunately
Nope. Not gonna happen.
this video alone shows everything u need to know abt Cody’s character cuz he easily could have made a slam dunk on the crypto market off his audience.
lol it shows he's not a greedy fool, who would stupidly go way off brand shilling crypto? yes a true saint! Or maybe just, not totally foolish.
Props to Cody for protecting his audience from scams when he could've easily banked on this

“Be careful kids”
Kelsey has been real quiet since this comment
Saying "This is not financial advice", is like when UA-camrs use Copyrighted music and in the description say "I don't own the Copyright"
I love hearing Cody talk about tech stuff idk why that's so entertaining

Put your whole net worth into butt hole coin
Entire life savings into compoopoo money

Cody pronouncing "Ponzi" like "Bonsai" is the funniest fucking thing idc
THANK YOU for noticing this hahahaha
Dude yes. I cackled like an idiot when I heard him say that
“Pons-eye scheme” lol that’s something different entirely, this is just garden variety pump-and-dump
For anyone confused, its PAWN-ZEE scheme.
was about to comment
what a standup dude tbh
he’s got a pretty big audience and instead of perpetuating the scamming he’s trying to caution people which shows he’s got integrity
Mindblowing these crappy "influencers" can get away with literal fraud like this, because crypto is not regulated. If they did this with anything else they would be in prison lmao. How do their audiences just let this slide?
Kids
Because lots of people understand celebrities do sponsors for money.. or have a marketing or agent pumping out there advertisements. It's common sense
@@thompson8354 Sponsorships do not (and should not) include having your followers pump financial assets and hold the bag so you can reap personal, huge profits as 99% of these influencers do, directly selling the asset to their followers. It's fraud, not sponsorships.
Posting “not financial advice” is the legal equivalent of saying “no homo”
"no offense"
without prejudice
“My bad”
"im not racist, but..."
"I don't want to be that guy, but"
Imagine mailing a serial killer a letter about how to get away with their crimes & just throwing a casual ✨not legal advice✨ in at the end
I'm cackling like a madman
That happened. It was a book written, but ended up blocked from being published (although the company already was starting the PR for it). O.J. Simpson's "If i had done it"
Tiktokers pretending they understand market structure and technical analysis has to be the funniest shit
It’s like bullying a kid and responding “no offence though”🤣🤣
i could listen to him talk about literally anything. idk wtf he’s talking about
Same feeling 🤣
Crypto?
@@nilen it's like i know what he is talking about..but still don't know?
Do ur research on crypto and u will realize it’s a whole new opportunity
you don’t really need to understand crypto to get what’s going on here. people promote these coins so their followers buy them which then increases the value of the coin..the promoter then sells the coin to make profit off of the increase, because of this major sell off the value plummets and leaves everyone else broke. it’s called pump and dump bcus they pump up the value then dump it once they achieve a profit.
im starting to feel emotionally connected to this man.
r/suddenlygay
he's my father now
Uhhhhhh sugar GAAAAAAY????
..... im gonna steal ur name.... or maybe just tweak it ...im sorry I have to
moral of the story: dont take financial advice (or any kind of advice at all) from influencers unless they provide credentials to back up their advice (and no, them showing their venmo account or fat money stacks does not count as credentials)
We all know people think people with money must know something….
These influencers got the wrong message from The Wolf Of Wall Street
I don't know shit about crypto but listening to Cody talk about something he's passionate about makes it worth the confusion
Yep sums up how I feel about this video lol
Remember: The moment your family members start talking about it, it's already dying.
lol no one says that. This bull market is young, and the space is very early. you're clueless if you think crypto is dying. It's barely beginning. Just watch this summer.
Usually, but when government becomes involved that's when you should worry more.
@@JunkBondTrader There is absolutely no way to determine when a market is gonna bloom or drop. That's the whole point. That's why it turns some people into multi-millionaires or into debt.
Oh sorry, the only way to determine when a market is gonna bloom or drop is to do insider trading. You don't determine shit, you just know how a market is influenced before the info reach general public. And unless you're a billionaire directly influencing your market or work for the government, you can't do insider trading.
Commenting for engagement because, for possibly the first time in Cody’s entire career, this is a really important video that will help a lot of people when they see it.
honestly even tho cody has gotten like super famous and is making bank, he still stays humble and hasn’t turned into what other LA influencers become once they gain popularity
when you pretend to be stupid on the internet but you have a degree in computer science from duke

General advice for crypto: if you’re hearing about it in the news, you’re probably already too late to buy in and make money. Do not let the hype get to your wallet.
A lot of crypto was down to all time lows this weekend. It was the perfect time to invest into big name ones. Bitcoin gained $8k in a day.
@@stephaniehanley1016 indeed it was!! Buy lows, sell highs!
bruh how do you do crypto
how do you money, basically
i dont get it im so angry smh
True for shitcoins, not for any real coins.
@@stephaniehanley1016 which is all the more reason to stay the fuck away. Its an extremely volatile market that relies on memes and whether or not countries will restrict it. If you hear 15 year olds talking about it, you’re too late and should avoid it at all costs
I love how Cody just randomly uploads a video to look out for other ppl who would fall for these scams, What a great dude

Dude the editing on this video was sickkk good job
this feel's like a commentary vid of old, from the tales of a time when youtubers could call out shitty behaviours other content creators are engaging in without fear of being banned or spit out of the almight blood god algorithm
Personally Crypto feels like something beyond me. Like something from another world. Basically i have no idea.
same. sound wack. i wish we stuck to cash or debit/credit
Same, I always feel like such an idiot when i hear anything about it. You could speak japanese and it would sound the same to me
@@laurahejdukova481 lol pretty much. At this point im just an observer. Who knows how it will play out.🙂
I think it's a very interesting topic and technology but it's not something you really have to look into, unless you're interested in using them.
It's basically nerds trying to make bank off of a currency in the case of bitcoin which is pretty much only good for making illegal transactions. Now some coins do have more practical uses like stellar lumens and hence have been labled stable coins because they are tied to something real financially. Anyone who pretends to understand what will happen with bitcoin(at least within any immediate future) is totally bullshitting.
Props to you for using your platform to hopefully help even one person not get scammed with this crap. There’s a UA-camr named Coffeezilla who has a ton of videos covering this stuff also
Really liked this video, it was super cool to hear your take on a topic you care about. Cut videos are great too, just liking the change up

I don't have any social media so everything I know about what's going on in twitter/ insta etc. comes from CodyKo and that makes it all so much more hilarious.
Man I love it when Cody makes more informative videos instead of reactions
The only thing I took from this video is that Cody pronounces ponzi as “pawns eye”
banzai scheme
Meticulously, meditatively shaping and pruning my ponzai scheme over many yrs
that “not legal advice” disclamer sounds like those “please don’t play this game at work/school😂😂” ads for random (addictive) games
Love this type of video from you! Funny and informative
Oh I’m sure the whole “not financial advice” quote will protect people to an extent if the SEC gets involved. You would be surprised how well the disclaimers work at keeping people out of trouble
Cody pronouncing ponzi like bonsai is the energy I need right now
The fact that Carol Baskin called her Bitcoin 'Cat' and not 'Kitcoin' is a bigger sin than her killing her husband and feeding him to the tigers.
HAHAHAHAH
IM CRYING NO 💀😭✋
I actually really liked this video, please make more of you reacting to things/trends like this 👀
Love ya Cody, cant stop watching your videos lol
Be very skeptical of investing in anything that doesn't provide a service or produce a product.
so true
Currency in general doesn’t provide a service or produce a product (unless you count BoA locking ur card when you buy something at the grocery store you’ve been going to for years), but you invest a lot of time into that to get banknotes and coins that are only valuable bc the government says it is not the actual worth of the product. And for the most part cash is used less frequently nowadays. The big difference is just that it’s decentralized, where usually the government regulates it. But also thats definitely a good reason to be skeptical, also the fact that bitcoin computers use the same amount of energy as the entire nation of switzerland in a year. Its horrible for the environment and also its used for a lot of illicit transactions
Blockchain actually provides plenty of services and will provide even more in the future.
@@zoeg5304 yeah bitcoin is unsustainable by design. If a crypto becomes mainstream, it will be because the technology behind it has improved to fix its current issues. Cheap copies of other blockchains won't last long.
@@zoeg5304 I thinks it's weird how it's kinda shifted from a deregulated coin that will replace the dollar. To some type of investment you hope to make money out of.
I think Cody should use his little back end developer loser skills to make his like button actually generate chode coin.
Its very nice of you to infor us all, Im gonna keep that in mind. This is also the first video I saw of you and youre very sympathic.
call me crazy, but it might be a bad idea to invest in something that is purely predicated on irony. It only maintains stability for as long as people find the joke funny.
Good on you for using your platform to educate people though!
not neccessarily. Coins can develop and take on new utilities as they evolve. Elon has plans for doge. I'm not in Doge, but it's way past a joke at this point.
college frat boys hear “cryptocurrency” and literally go running to tell everyone that they are a finance and stock market expert. is that just my school or does anyone else experience this???
Unfortunately this is a shared experience
No
Oh yeah lol. As someone who actually studies finance and conducts research, the amount dumb stuff I hear people say is outstanding. The classic one is when someone calls a cryptocurrency a "stock" even though the word currency is in the damn name.
Yuuup
@@StockerFinance it's easily percieved as a form of stock because the value is so volatile. But it is a new currency trying to solidify a value (which is difficult to do with celebs pump and dumping and folks treating crypto LIKE a stock)
