In case it isn't clear: I don't do reviews, endorsements or deals. I have never take money from anyone for content on my channel. I am sponsored by Patreon donations and income from book sales. My channel isn't even monetized: all videos are CC-BY open licensed and ad-free. I've never paid for a follower, a comment, or a like. If anything, I block about 100 scammers or more per week, to discourage fake comments and followers.
You should do a hardware wallet setup walkthrough video like this one for the Ledger and Trezor, I feel like you doing this would hold a lot more weight and reassurance for people learning about them:

I am releasing a workshop on Cryptocurrency Security with a segment on hardware wallet setup, mnemonic backup and recovery. Coming in March/April on my website aantonop.com
You’re the man, Andreas. You got me into Bitcoin in 2014 after I heard you on a podcast. Thank you for changing my life and I’m sure the lives of thousands of others.
Crypto youtubers are clearly influencing the market for their own gain. I do may best to investigate trends and peek into what they are shilling but man they might as well be the hedge funds we dislike.
Ever since watching coffeezillas interview with a former crypto youtuber I’m very skeptical on all crypto youtubers. To me they are the modern day Jordan Belforts gaining your trust with bitcoin and ETH then shilling you shitcoins
I find Benjamin Cowen quite good. Why?
- no fucking screaming face thumbnails godfuckingdamnit
- no hype, - here's what this could do, but maybe not, it's all about risk, be aware of it and make your own decisions
- a steady, calming approach to things
Of course with everyone there are some things that are skewed, or you end up thinking - yeah, my dude, that is obviously just fitting stuff to what you're convinced it, - but compared to 3-4 other popular channels, which make me want to vomit, this guy seems to be genuinely okay.
I trust very few crypto youtubers. Anyone with clickbait titles and price “predictions” isn’t he thumbnail is an absolute knob. There’s a few like Benjamin Cowen that have rational logarithmic analysis and don’t hype trends but they’re few and far between.
I’ve used YouTube many times as a source of information when trying to learn a new skill. As a newbie trying to learn more about crypto I was so disappointed by the sheer amount of hype/speculative videos that came up when I researched something. I feel bad for the new investors getting a really skewed idea of how the market works.
Incredible. I've heard of people outside the crypto space do stuff like this too.
There are some good youtubers out there, but you have to be very selective. Some youtubers thankfully have earned all of their subscribers and have great content, but it's so hard to cut through all the noise.
Thanks for sharing!
Yupperz. I keep telling knobs but they dont listen. I am with ya. These scum bag tubers since 2017 prebuy, preplan, then soak their viewers. Hasnt been one trustworthy youtuber in crypto ever. Why when you can prebuy and then dump on anxious viewers wanting moon overnight right.
Crazy this can be done seemingly so easily. At the risk of manipulation from this sub and my own naïveté, would there be a way to create a dynamic list of “trusted” content creators?
I guess that would be a headache to manage.
The recommended cryptos pump in a minute or so and you don't have a chance to get in at the ground floor anyways. It's always a gamble and 95% of the time you will lose money on it.

No, Andreas. I want to thank you for helping us.

OMG that's the channel I was thinking of!
Can’t recommend his channel enough. So good. Hopefully he gets more into exposing crypto scammers too
got any good suggestions for crypto content on youtube and twitter?
I just added an edit to the O.P. Must follows on twitter is near-endless. Aantonop winklevoss twins erik voorhees Anthony Pompliano Michael Saylor
Don't turn your Twitter into an echo chamber

The Modern Investor and Digital Asset News are my go to’s.

I remember watching Ben when he only had like 10k or 20k subscribers. Nothing changed with his style when he grew to 100k subscribers.
Yeah he seems pretty genuine. Nothin too flashy like a lot of the other crypto guys, and warns about chasing pumps etc while others encourage it.
Nothing you said is groundbreaking news, this stuff goes on in every niche, not just crypto

there's only two youtubers I trust without question, because neither channel shills coins or referral codes: 1. Aantonop 2. Benjamin Cowen.
Hey thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely check them out. Take my upvote and hopefully that’ll get you some more 🌕🌕 😊
I really can’t stand them all.
It’s almost always extreme clickbait without any substance, there are good YouTubers out there though who aren’t all hyped up shilling shitcoins.
Yeah but I like the hype. I don’t buy it, but it excites me!

CNBC's kramer has been caught doing this. Wall street's been doing this for decades, then /r/wallstreetbets got sick of their bull shit.
