About Dave Young
I'm Dave Young, and I proudly wear the badge of "confirmed anti-expert on all things crypto." While that might sound counterintuitive in an industry obsessed with expertise and technical jargon, it's precisely what makes my perspective valuable to the everyday investor trying to navigate this complex landscape.
Every week, I present video shows right here on Cryptovest, where I do something that's surprisingly rare in crypto media: I walk in the shoes of the common investor. I ask the questions you're thinking but might be afraid to ask. I express the doubts you're feeling when everyone else seems unrealistically bullish. And most importantly, I evaluate projects from the standpoint of someone who doesn't have a computer science degree or years of trading experience.
"In a world of paid shills and sponsored content, I'm committed to presenting a more detailed, unbiased viewpoint in the ICO world. No hidden agendas, no pump and dump schemes—just honest analysis from a regular person's perspective."
The crypto media landscape is flooded with what I call "expert opinions" that often turn out to be nothing more than paid promotions dressed up as analysis. You've seen them—the glowing reviews that conveniently forget to mention the reviewer's financial stake in the project, the technical analyses that seem designed to confuse rather than clarify, and the predictions that always seem to favor whoever's paying the bills.
That's not what you'll find here. My approach is different because I'm not trying to impress you with my knowledge or convince you that I have some secret insight into the market. Instead, I'm here to be your companion in this journey, asking the tough questions and maintaining a healthy skepticism that seems to be in short supply in the crypto world.
My Mission
My mission is simple but crucial: to cut through the noise and provide honest, unbiased analysis of the crypto world from the perspective of the common investor. Here's what drives my work:
Unbiased Analysis
No sponsors, no paid promotions, no hidden agendas. Just honest evaluations based on what matters to real investors.
Common Investor Focus
Speaking the language of everyday investors, not crypto insiders. Making complex concepts accessible without dumbing them down.
Asking Real Questions
Not afraid to ask the obvious questions that experts often overlook. If it doesn't make sense to me, it probably doesn't make sense to you either.
Transparency First
Clear about my limitations and biases. I don't pretend to know everything—that's the whole point of being an anti-expert.
My Unique Approach
Being an "anti-expert" doesn't mean being uninformed. It means approaching crypto with fresh eyes and healthy skepticism. Here's how I evaluate projects:
The Smell Test
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I start with common sense before diving into technicals.
Plain English Please
If a project can't explain what they do in simple terms, that's a red flag. Complexity often hides emptiness.
Follow the Money
Who's funding this? Who benefits? Understanding incentives reveals more than any whitepaper.
Real World Value
Does this solve an actual problem, or is it a solution looking for a problem? Focus on practical utility.
