    Without even listening to this, I already hate it. Tyler or “Ninja” is easily one of the most blessed people on Earth ???? and part of God’s chosen few.

    His experience and success as a streamer is a highly atypical best-case scenario.

    Everyday on Twitch, there are hundreds of streamers wasting their lives playing video games in front of the internet with about 30-45 consistent and concurrent viewers hoping to one day “make it big.”

    There are also handfuls of women in hot tubs ????, but that is a subject for another video.

    Unless Tyler is here to go beyond the surface, I am not interested in a fluff piece

    *Moms in 1996* – “you’re wasting your time playing these dumb video games. Go study so you can have a future”.

    *Kids in the 2010s* – making millions from playing video games (or unboxing videos).

    ????I don’t know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you’ve got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.

      Despite the economic crisis.this is still a good time to invest in the stock and cryptocurrency market.

    • Andrea Venghaus

      June 9, 2022 at 6:14 am

      @Monia Poznan I totally agree with you on this.Investing in this economic crisis would definitively be one of the best decision one can make currently.

      My portfolio balance is currently $140,000 from my $25,000 investment with Juan Antonio Landa.

    • Steven Walker

      June 9, 2022 at 6:15 am

      I used to invest on my own because of making your money work for you mentality but never made any progress until I sought the guidance of Juan Antonio Landa and she has made me understand that strategy is everything.
