Could your crypto portfolio use a little divine intervention? A Texas woman who claims to be a ‘crypto psychic’ offers spirit-guided trading advice on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. But how accurate is she really?

Move over Tom Lee, Max Kaiser, the Winklevosses (Winklevii???), and all you other experts with your data-driven predictions and years of financial experience. Galveston, Texas psychic Sharon Michelle is here and offering to share information imparted to her by her ‘spirit guides’ about where the cryptocurrency market is heading – for a fee, of course.

According to her YouTube channel, Michelle has been a professional psychic and healer for over 40 years and has a “track record of accuracy that is shocking.” She claims to be able to make her predictions through her work with ‘spirit guides’, including one financially savvy guide simply named Spirit.

Despite her long career, Michelle only began psychically advising people on cryptocurrencies a little over a year ago. On her Patreon page, Michelle recounts:

Spirit started showing me coins of various colors to advise people to get involved with. Knowing nothing about cryptos at the time, I at first thought they were talking about gold and silver. It was puzzling to me why the various coins were in a variety of colors. Recently, I realized they had been showing me cryptocurrencies. However, Spirit is now showing me very clearly the value of this asset and how it can help the average person.

While she posts occasional free videos on YouTube, Michelle’s best and most “detailed and expanded information” is only available to her paid subscribers on Patreon. She currently has 870 devoted subscribers who pay $15 per month to hear what new advice Michelle – via Spirit – has to offer.

870 x $15 = $13,050 per month, in case you were wondering. Ironically – but not surprising – since Michelle offers her predictions on Patreon’s platform, she only accepts credit card an PayPal payments. No cryptocurrencies allowed.

So How Accurate is She?

A psychic is only as good as the accuracy of his or her predictions, so how does Sharon Michelle stack up? Let’s take a look at some of her 2018 crypto market predictions that she published for free on YouTube in April of last year.

In the video, Michelle’s husband Jared relays the psychic’s predictions for several cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, Digibyte, Theta, and Dent. Michelle discussed other cryptocurrencies as well, but only in the vaguest “up some, down some” sense.

I published the results of her six most specific predictions in a Google doc. The end result is that out of the six cryptocurrencies mentioned, she was only even close to being loosely right on one of them. Anyone going all-in on her advice would have lost a significant amount of money.

Let me add that I don’t discount the possibility of some people having psychic abilities. After all, to quote Shakespeare’s Hamlet:

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

I just don’t think that consulting a psychic for financial advice is particularly wise. You could probably get the same – or better – results by throwing darts at a dartboard and making your investments based on the outcome. I am NOT encouraging you to do this, however.

How do you decide which cryptocurrencies to invest in? Do you think that so-called ‘crypto psychics’ can ever be reliably accurate? Let us know in the comments below.
