Is this a long con?

I’m not stupid I know what a catfish is. I have done reverse phone number search and reverse image search on all images and two videos of this guy who I met on tinder has sent me. We have been talking for two weeks and it’s getting more intense. I haven’t given him any real personal information beside “I’ve got a dentist appointment” kinda stuff. I read on this forum about people getting scammed into crypto currency. The guy says he lives in the same town as me but refused to meet for our “first date” till the 15th(work project “should” be done by then). I simply state “if we live in the same town why can’t we meet for coffee for 30 minutes.” His story is that he’s from Taiwan originally and moved to the states 5 years ago. Works as a jewelry designer and invested in his friends exports company and does crypto on the side. States he wants to have a future with me (after 2 weeks of talking) I was already into crypto but not advanced. He said he could give me advice. He hasn’t taken any of my money, it’s all still in my crypto account but now with the website he uses I have to put more money in to withdraw from my account when before I was able to. He’s made me over $200 off my $150 ETH investment. I asked him how he knows the exact times to buy and quantities, said he’ll teach me calculus so I can understand. After two days of doing crypto his way he suggest I take out a loan to make more money faster, I decline. Now the conversation that used to be cute have turned to ways he’s making more money, you should invest more. I’m not stupid I’m not taking out a loan. After seeing what others have said about long con crypto do you think he’s real or a scam. I’m not buying into anything else he says because I have 80% doubt he wasn’t real but was confused why someone would con someone without being able to actually withdraw from my account. Thanks Reddit
