I'm not sure if I understand the analogy you used. In your example does that someone selling the broke family shares in a goldmine equate to risto advising people publicly on this forum to buy bitcoin? Or am I missing something and there is more to it?
Yes it does. And telling them that if they see their "investment" tank, it's only because of
Bankster cabal suppressing the price to secretly increase their holdings The Jews with Thermite, or, as his victims put it, "holding our hand through difficult times."
TL;DR: Yes, but stop top-posting pl0x.
To me that is not dishonest, he probably believed it himself. Some people might have lost money not buying in at the right time perhaps based on his advice but no one really knows where the price is going. For me a dishonest person is one that knowingly lies or defrauds others in one way or another.
