Pro tip for everyone active on social platforms: now that X has rolled out location visibility, take a moment to check where the influencers you follow are actually based. Sounds simple, right? But it's surprisingly important.
Why does this matter? Because geolocation can reveal whether someone's really where they claim to be. It helps you spot inconsistencies—like when someone's promoting crypto projects from multiple countries simultaneously or their timezone never adds up with their posting patterns.
It's become easier for accounts to blend in or amplify misleading narratives when their true whereabouts stay hidden. So next time you're scrolling through your feed, especially when someone's giving you hot takes on market movements or shilling new tokens, peek at that location tag. Small detail. Big difference in verifying credibility.

This move is brilliant. I had already noticed that many shillers don't match the time zones at all. Once I see the location tags, it immediately breaks the illusion.

Wow, it should have been like this a long time ago. Many fake coin kings now have to show their true colors.
