Financial advice means advising others on the selection, purchase, or sale advice of financial products to meet the purpose of investing, risk management, or risk mitigation. Suppose i am involved with crypto investment so if i invest by follow anyone then my loss is high there. Therefore, it is called foolishness to invest in social media by looking at a consultant post.
