Half Scam

When a financial realm is presented as having great value to an unknowing individual but at the same time feels seems like a scam and does not live up to its hype. Usually presented by an online educator with a financial incentive to provide secret knowledge about how to profit from Bitcoin, Crypto, NFT, Trading Guru's, or Self Help Gurus.

After buying Gary Vaynerchuk's book, I realized that he was a half scam at best.
