I have never joined a paid group and I personally do not plan on it.
If the people that own the groups are actually "that" knowledgable about trading, then why are they creating paid groups? They should already be making enough off of trading. I understand that running the group is extra money, which is nice, but still I just don't get it.
Idk that's just how I feel.
Also, if you want to get free help then join "crypto twitter". There's good analysts on twitter who specialize in crypto currencies, and everybody is willing to help out and give insights on things. My crypto twitter account only has about 100 followers, but if I have a question, I at least have 2 people respond.
Again, that's just my 2 cents, it's completely up to you though on whether or not you want to bite the bullet and join a paid group.
