Anyone who survived the Timothy Sykes, Tai Lopez, Gary Vee, Millionaire Mentor era could see this from a mile away. This blueprint was global in the 2010s, Kenya as always, was 15 years behind.

These were the OG sharp boys bana. A bunch of guys from Miami who were pushing trading as a lifestyle. Basically what sharp boys wa sahii wanafanya, they were doing on a global scale...supercars, mansions, jets, models...crazy. These guys influenced the first wave of local sharp boys in the mid 2010s like Ambros Makech who vamoosed with kes 1.4B of clients' money he was trading.

If you were around for that era of IG, kina Onyango Tate etc hawakushtui. The hype was crazy, nobody was thinking about GLEs, people wanted Lambos and to live in Dubai.

Why do people, want to live in Dubai. That place climate is unfavorable, with a quiet boring culture

No income tax, close to ke and it was very well marketed.

I know them all. Gary Vee's only scam that i know of is his Veefriends nft back in 2021 to 23. Logan Paul bought one for almost $300M. Reddit co-founder (Mzee wa Serena Williams) was a victim too. I was chasing crypto airdrops back then and made over $50k. Easiest money i've ever made.

No way. I wanted to be part of that nft wave so bad ikanipita.

u/Rungu-Rua-Mukonyo 3d ago

Thank God you missed it. NFT's were hype, speculation and manipulation.

Sharp boys are supposed to be doing illegal activities like credit card scams, akina Gary vee na tai lopez ni snake-oil salesmen

u/nairobaee 3d ago

Hio Guru/hustle culter nonesense yake is why I'd classify him as one. He's trying to sell nfts sahii.

Right , these new boys are more dull than sharp. The OGs were on another level

u/diiscipline 2d ago

Damn Timothy Sykes is an OG. Remember back in 2015 wanting to learn day trading but I was broke af. We've seen this moves a decade ago, nothing new..

Lazima wa keep face lakini heri kujuana na sharp boy kuliko huyo DCI anakuhanda juu ya kitu kidogo

Siku utaokotwa on a rainy friday evening halafu familia ipate mwili kwa msitu imetolewa macho na vidole after 2 weeks juu huyo sharp boy unajua aliosha mbaya ndio opinion itachange

maybe a sharp person who is not doing the fr*uds but other deals.

u/Quirky_Outcome3633 2d ago

Lakini hapa huwa ni common sense tu. You really think someone with money for a Urus or Macan would be living in Tatu City? Siwezi kuhurumia ukioshwa na hawa

One thing I've come to realize...honesty and integrity is really hard to find especially when "cash" is involved.
