I guess the most honest form of writing crypto advise would be to simply write what one does and what one invests in, rather than what what others should do or invest in. After all, what is it worth if some guy tells you to buy into a random currency you've never heard of if he doesn't believe enough in it to do it himself?

I also remember well when I first started reading about mining about eight months ago. Everyone said it was no longer profitable. I started Monero mining two months later, and as it turns out, it was indeed profitable. I don't think this kind of misinformation is always intentional. I think people in general have a tendency to spread information without researching whether it's true.
