“This is Not Financial Advice” — Legion M’s New Documentary About The Dogecoin Millionaire

Many have described Crypto as the wild west. It’s mostly anonymous, highly monetized, and completely unregulated, which generally means it’s ripe with scams and crazy stories. It’s led to literal crypto billionaires, including what has been dubbed as “The greatest trade to ever exist” in which someone invested $13,000 into the infamous meme token “Shiba Inu” which ended up netting him around $5 billion.
