I don't know much about this, but it seems pretty damn sketchy and essentially full-on gambling based on my read of the process. My wife and I are a bit worried that him and his wife will ultimately lose big in the end, basically like a gambling addiction. $100K isn't pocket change to them either. Anyone do scalp trading?
Never even heard of that. But when I first heard about crypto back at the beginning of 2014 it sounded shady. Now if only I had started mining back then and cashed out in 2020/2021 I'd be a millionaire many times over.

Oh well.
