Why the Millennial Money Channel was DELETED.

oh hey everyone meet Kevin here so I'm

filming this on a cruise because uh

apparently Millennial money's channel

has had all of its videos deleted

which is really or at least privated or

unlisted which is really disheartening

for me because six months ago when I

didn't tell anyone this but six months

ago I tried to buy Millennial money I

sent a text message to everybody else in

the group I'm like hey I want to buy the

channel uh I'm a big fan of of

preserving content I'm a big fan of

being able to look back at content and

be like look you know here's where we

went right here's where we went wrong

and I actually thought you know I I was

the one who came up with the millennial

Money Channel right so I'm like man I'll

buy the channel I'd like for me I think

it's great we put a lot of effort into

Millennial money and I was really

optimistic about what Millennial money

could become now I did end up leaving

Millennial money

but that's also because in my opinion we

we were moving in different directions

right we had with different interests

and and uh you know I really really

wanted to see us become kind of like an

all-in podcast you know I'm actually

wearing their jacket right now I'm a big

fan of them uh you know they they all

come prepared with a lot of detailed

information I think they do really good

research before they do their podcasts

and then that way they can have

reasonable debates and discussions uh

and you know I mean we've had some I

remember debating the fundamental value

of crypto on millennial money and I'm

like ah it's fundamentally zero plus the

value of blockchain Technology right

just be careful of stable coins you know

I remember saying stuff like that and uh

you know I actually really like the idea

or always have like the idea about going

back and looking at the millennial Money

Channel and then grabbing clips from it

going ah see this is where we messed up

oh see this is where we did well because

I think it's a great channel to learn

from I think we had really great

perspective

uh so I'm really sad to see it delisted

I uh well all of us at least had I don't

know if it's been changed we all had the

username and password and only one of us

had the Dual Factor authentication so

anytime I would want to log in I would

have to I'd have to ask that person hey

like can you click this you know what

number it is you know when you open the

Google app and then it's like is this

you yes and then click the number I

always had to text and be like oh can

you click you know 57 or whatever it is

uh I don't think it really matters for

me to say who that person is but I

didn't have control over it so I'm

really bummed to see it go uh I'm

obviously uh really terribly devastated

about the collapse of FTX I mean now

it's like you look back and it's like oh

yeah hindsight's 20 20. man damn should

have stayed far away from that I feel

bad because you know I well I obviously

I promoted FTX I've always said on the

channel crypto is speculative right we

don't have FDIC insurance we don't have

insurance I think uh stable coins

are going to collapse and you should

really keep your portfolio to under five

percent crypto all my course members

know that everybody on the public

YouTube channel like this isn't a secret

I sold out my crypto in January anything

that I could have uh with the exception

of a VC and a little bit of ADA which I

ended up dumping the Ada within a couple

weeks uh anyway but um you know it sucks

it sucks because unfortunately uh well

look anybody who's been exposed to the

FTX thing is just is just hurt and

devastated and it's just like yeah I I

feel terrible I wish I could I wish

there was a way to go back and and warn

that these companies could collapse uh

but there's not you know and I think

that's just that's unfortunately life is

like sometimes we make mistakes and

I think the best thing to do is

transparently stand for that people like

oh Kevin you messed up you got back in

the market too early yeah you're right

people like oh Kevin you messed up you

promoted FTX yeah

you're right now people are like oh

Kevin you know uh you you did this wrong

or said that wrong it's like yeah

make a lot of mistakes I think everybody

makes mistakes uh I think it's really

important to keep trying uh and trying

to do better and to learn from the past

and that's why I'm a little surprised

the millennial Money videos are gone

because I'm a big like I've got a lot of

videos that are you know uh

kind of embarrassing because I've made

mistakes on and I leave them you know I

try to make a follow-up video go oh I

was wrong about that uh unfortunately

it's like really great fodder for haters

to like grab those videos and clip them

and be like haha look at all the time

everyone but you know what like people

are gonna hate it's fine uh the other

day actually I went back it was really

neat I was talking to a course member

about this remember we got 60 of coupon

code down below for Black Friday but I

was talking to somebody about this and

we're like hey you know you got your

first hate comment on YouTube like nine

years ago if you type in meet Kevin TV

commercial on YouTube you'll see it and

uh that first hey comment nine years ago

was something the effect of Wow way to

commit career suicide let's see how this

works out for you and and nine years

later than somebody else replies and

goes I think it worked out okay for

Kevin uh and that was because my in my

TV commercial I made this contrast

between a really aggressive like World

of Warcraft player who doesn't answer

the phone and kind of has a dirty messy

room and is a bum and and contrasted

that to this office environment I had

created as a real estate agent so

somebody posted that on the World of

Warcraft forms and then I got all this

tremendous hate uh from from Wow players

uh in the big irony there was you know

that was me like I was making fun of

myself when I was 15 16 you know the if

you look closely at that video it's

really cool you see like uh like

underwear on the floor three days of

cereal the clock's Frozen at 4 20

because the battery's out uh like that

was crazy right and that's all still

there on YouTube I'm a big fan of having

things publicly on YouTube so we can

look back and go hey what what are the

mistakes uh in fact I think I personally

think if if I had access to him I'd love

to to repost all of our Millennial Money

videos yeah were we sponsored by FTX

yeah that's probably why why it's taken

down is because uh there were mentions

uh a lot of mentions uh to FTX you know

they had sponsored all of millennial

money so so so I get that that's

probably why it's gone that's probably

why the the all of the Channel videos

have been removed but but yeah I'm not

going to go back and like edit my

descriptions for all my old videos or

try to cut out mentions to FTX it it's

it is what it is we screw it up uh and a

lot of people screwed up and a lot of

people got hurt and I feel terrible

about it but I think the only thing we

can do now is is look at the mistakes

made and try to learn going forward you

know I tried my best uh last uh last

week I said look I know everybody's

talking about ftx.com but it's going to

be ftx.us next like get out while you

still can I tried making warnings uh

live stream warnings during the election

I was warning people when I was live

streaming for four hours I uh posted

multiple warnings on Twitter and YouTube

get out get out get out not your keys

not your crypto but some people don't

come back uh and regularly watch videos

you know maybe they only watch one video

a month and unfortunately they could get

hit and maybe maybe they don't

necessarily agree that you should only

allocate three percent to crypto or five

percent or whatever it is right uh but

even that I mean nobody wants to lose

anything and so I feel bad about that I

I really do it's it's terrible but I

will say I don't think hiding is is the

right answer uh you know YouTube has

this culture of like oh everybody should

be 100 transparent with everything yeah

I agree with that but most of the time

when we see like quote unquote

transparency it's only like good

transparency like oh look at the money I

made or this or that or you know it's

like or like losses or like nominal or

uh oh my losses are okay because you

know I like doing that anyway or

whatever like

I don't know I think this is this is one

where it's just okay to say you know

make fun of me for it uh I deserve it

it's like damn this sucks you know I

lost more money than I was ever paid in

advertisements uh and uh you know that

sucks but that doesn't that doesn't

change the fact that I'd promoted them

so I'm I'm super sorry I've publicly

apologized multiple times now about that

but this whole Millennial money thing is

I think is weird the video should be up

uh I'm disappointed I wasn't asked and I

was never taken up on the offer to buy

the millennial Money Channel but uh yeah

I think that's uh that's pretty much all

there is to say

um anyway thanks for watching uh as

usual check out the coupon code down

below at least at least uh I I know my

my courses can't go bankrupt because

they're mine you know I in fact back

before I ever took sponsors I always

said one of the cool thing is about

sponsoring myself is I don't have to

worry about another company screwing up

well damn I should have stuck with that

oh well
