DISCLAIMER AND RISK WARNING:
Trading and investing in cryptocurrencies can offer substantial potential rewards but also come with significant risks. It’s essential to be aware of these risks and to only trade with funds you can afford to lose.
The classes I provide are solely for educational and informational purposes and are not investment advisory services. Nothing in this course should be considered financial or investment advice. The information, tools, and techniques shared are intended to help you understand the cryptocurrency market but are not recommendations to buy or sell any assets, including stocks, futures, indices, forex, cryptocurrencies, or commodities. Past performance of any trading strategy or system is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Cryptocurrency investment is speculative, and the market is largely unregulated, with high volatility. Investing in coins or tokens can lead to the loss of your funds.
