<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3027859, member: 36230&quot;]The unfortunate fact is that on nearly a daily basis we now see folks coming here from YouTube, and almost without exception they&#039;ve been mislead in one way or another. Although there are a handful of folks here slyly trying to skirt the rule of no self-promotion, the vast majority of us have no incentive to be here other than to learn or share, and have no reason to make things up - this is key. With YouTube, the vast majority of channels seem to exist not to educate, but in order to either promote someone&#039;s business and/or to financially benefit the owner. This is why they just love to appeal to the very human desire to get something for nothing and explains why you&#039;ll see all these fantastical (and usually ridiculous) claims designed to get you to watch, subscribe, upvote, share or whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for this Blue Ridge Silverhound clown, I have only very limited knowledge of and/or experience with him, but from what I have seen you would be very wise to avoid him if the goal is to learn. Not too long ago someone posted a link to one of his videos, and while not all bad, one thing that sticks out is that he alluded to the &quot;right&quot; type of cloth to use when cleaning one&#039;s coins. Perhaps this may not mean much to someone new, but anyone with a little more experience should easily understand how ridiculously stupid it is to even suggest such a thing to those who do not know any better.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do want to be clear that this forum is far, actually very far from perfect. There&#039;s a rather upsetting amount of misinformation spewed here as well, but the good thing is that the more caring and knowledgeable members are usually sure to counter it. This means that with patience and a little reading between the lines, one can generally be confident that they&#039;re getting decent into and are on the right track. Just be sure to put your thicker skin on before signing in. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
