[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3063887, member: 36230"]That's Kookoox? How sad... Regardless of his persona here, BlueRidgeSilverhound on YouTube is a clown best avoided. And yes, I have taken the time to watch a number of his videos, chosen randomly, before having to come to this most regretful conclusion. It's great if his videos helped you into the hobby, but if you wish to continue now is the time to get serious and to stop watching click bait garbage. This forum, while [I]far[/I] from perfect, is vastly better for folks new to the hobby than any YouTube channel. At least here you have people who genuinely care about the health of the hobby and are willing to assist serious others without compensation. As an added bonus, the more knowledgeable members will almost always counter misinformation and is something that cannot be done reliably on YouTube. Here is one of my last posts addressing some of the issues with his videos. There are a few others as well, including one in which he suggested there is a "right cloth" to use when cleaning one's coins. Anyone with even modest experience should know better than to ever suggest such a thing to newbies. [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/not-the-only-one.313171/page-2#post-3029434[/url][/QUOTE]
