Here's a take that's worth chewing on: plenty of the heavyweight voices dominating crypto Twitter aren't actually there because they're dropping gold—they're there because Kaito slapped them with the "smart money" badge, and now everyone's chasing clout by following them. The ecosystem's gotten twisted. You've got herds of people farming engagement off these accounts, treating them like oracles when really they're just getting algorithmic signal boosted. The label became the substance.

Algorithmic idolization, truly amazing. Once the label is applied, the IQ tax begins to be levied.

nah this is actually the classic protocol quirk nobody talks about—algorithm labeling becomes the oracle, then everyone treats the oracle like it's gospel. saved you a few ETH by pointing that out, tbh. the system's literally gaming itself at this point.

To be honest, this is just a label game. Whoever tags it is the one in charge. Kaito defined smart money, and smart money started harvesting IQ taxes, cycling through. Rather than following the trend and hype, it's better to analyze the market yourself. Unfortunately, most people are too lazy to think. This system should have collapsed long ago, but it makes money... Labels = power, power = money, simple and brutal.

Just slap on the label, and everyone kneels and worships, huh... If you ask me, if I had also followed the trend and bought those coins recommended by the "smart funds" back then, I probably wouldn't be eating dirt every day now.
