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. ...

You've missed "What if he, at the very same time, is selling them *his own* shares" bit.

When confronted with the fact that his strategy has backfired, his vanity got the better of him & he admitted to selling BTC [while telling his faithful to hodl].

As far as I remember he said he sold at 700 so no where near the top. Ok, I do see your point but in reality he was not such a large holder of BTC that he needed to Shill the market in order to unload whatever portion he did. What he sold represented a very tiny fraction of the BTCs being bought and sold during that time...

You asked for an example of dishonesty. I gave you one. You countered with "well, he didn't profit that much."
My point is simple: He is not merely insane (as in involuntary institutionalization insane, classified in DSM-5 as "Batshit Crazy"), but a sleazy lying piece of shit.
You don't tell people to hodl while sodling hand-over-fist yourself.
