Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard, informed his 319,200 followers on X (formerly Twitter) that a family member brought up the point that Bitcoin outperforms the investments the financial advisor suggests, prompting the advisor to admit that he merely sells strategies.

In a recent X post, Ammous recounted the response the financial advisor gave to his cousin when questioned about traditional financial investment strategies, asserting that Bitcoin surpasses them all and “doesn’t necessitate any fees or active management.”

Multiple replies flooded the post, including one X user who confessed to being expelled from several financial advisory Facebook groups merely for mentioning Bitcoin.
