It does read like someone very young wrote it, I guess the author is young enough to know everything.
There is an interesting tangential public policy issue about how to limit societal damage from people taking advantage of others, but that is not the point of the article.
But to your first point: how do you make money on crypto markets? I must have missed this nugget of wisdom in the author's rant.
Taking the high road has repeatedly failed in public discourse.
I am more humble than that.
It's not so much that I respect it out of awe or because I think it needs to be validated or is correct. It's that I disagree with such a hyper-rational conviction that there's no possible correlation between astrological events and human behavior (a market is entirely human behavior). Such conviction can be.. dangerous.
I do not believe a market is rational or scientific (they are certainly "efficient" though). I actually find those with a desire to approach such a human phenomenon scientifically to also fall in the anti-science anti-reason bucket, because they do not understand the limits of the scientific method or western rationalism.
When presented with a black-box market:
The scientific method can help you discover a model that answers the question, "how does the market work?".
Science cannot answer the question, "why does the market move?".
The author states this quite clearly. The way to make consistent legal returns off crypto is by selling snake oil to crypto speculators. "She’s leveraged her massive following into several lucrative revenue streams."
