The Nick Young meme is probably closest to what happened: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hiphopdx-production/2016/06/nick-yo...

This person simply does not understand that anything “works” in a bull market. The next recession or cryptocurrency market pullback will be their first since they started speculating, and after that, I think their advice will be better.
