Regrettably the field of investing has been tainted by endless shonks who have polluted the thinking of people before they even set foot in the market.

The central theme of these sorts of sites and it is not limited to cryptos is that you can trade full time with very limited capital. And you can do this because you will never have a losing trade.
Yes, they sort of make you think that you won't be losing trades if you adopt their strategy and join their circle (for a hefty fee). The reality is quite the opposite. No matter the trading system, you will have a lot of losing trades, but if you have a good money management system in place, you will make money consistently. It's not so much about the trading strategy as it is about the money management strategy and discipline in executing it. Not everyone can do that.
For example, beginners in trading (such as I'm) tend to let losing trades run longer than necessary. On the other side, they tend to cut winning trade early without letting them fully develop. This is pure psychology and it is probably the hardest thing to master.
All in all, interesting read. Thanks for sharing.
