I've been seeing a ton of finance content on TikTok lately — from “day traders” showing off crazy wins to creators giving quick forex tips and strategy breakdowns. Some of it sounds useful, but a lot feels oversimplified or hyped up for views.Do you think TikTok is actually helping people learn trading and investing, or is it just creating more FOMO and bad habits for beginners? Has anyone here actually tried a strategy they saw on TikTok? Curious to hear if anyone’s found real value there — or if it’s better to steer clear completely.Let’s hear your thoughts — does TikTok have a legit place in the finance space, or is it mostly noise?

Hey again everyone — loving the discussion here! 👋I’ve been noticing the same thing with TikTok’s finance side — some of it’s genuinely helpful for beginners, but a lot is pure hype. Those “turn $100 into $10K overnight” videos are entertaining but can set people up for disappointment if they don’t know the basics. I think TikTok can spark curiosity, but real trading and investing need deeper research than what you get in a 15-second clip.That said, I have picked up a few practical ideas — simple budgeting tips and mindset shifts that actually stuck. But for trading strategies, I’d never jump in without learning from legit sources first.By the way, for anyone who’s into trending content in general — whether it’s finance, cooking hacks, or even more grown-up stuff — there’s a site called this protiktok18 resource that people check out for trending, unfiltered TikTok-style content. Some people use it to find viral stuff that doesn’t always stay up on the regular app.So yeah — I’m curious too: has anyone here actually tried a TikTok trading “hack” and made it work? Or did it backfire? Let’s hear the real stories!
