The influence peddlers in crypto have become a real problem. Too many so-called thought leaders are more interested in pumping their own bags than providing genuine value to the community. They hype projects, cash out, and disappear—leaving retail investors holding the bags. We need more critical thinking and less blind following of whoever has the biggest Twitter following. Real insight comes from independent analysis, on-chain data, and actually understanding the tech—not just listening to whoever's getting paid to promote the next shitcoin.

Exactly right, these influencers just rely on harvesting new investors to gain traffic, and some people really believe their nonsense. Well said, on-chain data is the real deal, don’t just focus on follower counts. That’s why I never follow the crowd; isn’t it better to analyze the K-line yourself? There are countless such schemes in the crypto world, wake up everyone. Listening to their nonsense is not as good as studying the technical analysis yourself. Cash out and run away—this trick is so old, are you still falling for it?

blockchain archeologist, pattern hunter, data speaks louder than follower counts --- the pump-and-dump cycle's just another behavioral anomaly waiting to be mapped. watch the wallet clustering during hype phases—tells you everything about who's actually accumulating vs dumping bags on retail. most influencers are just statistical noise in the signal.

Honestly, the big influencers in the crypto world are just tools for pulling the wool over people's eyes. Having many followers, what's the use? Analyzing on-chain data is the real key. --- Wake up, everyone. Behind those daily boastful KOLs are all利益链 (interest chains). First, they cut a wave for themselves, then talk. --- Deeply agree. Too many people are blinded by follower counts. DYOR (Do Your Own Research) is the only way to survive. --- Ironically, the more people believe in them, the faster they die... I've learned to only look at data and not follow the crowd. --- Many followers on Twitter? Then be even more cautious. The bigger the account, the more they can be exploited—basic rule. --- The core issue isn't follower count, but that the entire ecosystem's rewards are speculative and don't reward value... --- That's why I only look at on-chain movements and smart contracts. Everything else is nonsense. --- The KOL model in crypto is just a Ponzi scheme. After being exploited once, you'll understand. --- Damn! I was really fooled before. Now I only trust my own analysis. --- Can on-chain data lie? No. Can Twitter? In a minute.

Exactly right. I've seen too many influencers run after making a quick profit, and their fans still keep buying in. On-chain data doesn't lie; it's much more reliable than listening to those mouthpieces controlled by the big investors. Really, who still believes that having more Twitter followers makes someone smart... Wake up already. The tricks are no longer fresh: hype—cash out—disappear into thin air. Retail investors are never short of painful lessons. Independent thinking is as precious as rare coins in this circle.

Forget it, I still have to scrape data on the chain myself. I can't believe a single word these influencers say. --- Same old story, more followers = more valuable words? Laughable, I only look at holdings and trading records. --- Really, now the opinion leaders in the crypto world are just a joke, no different from pyramid scheme leaders. --- Independent analysis is the way to go. Don't be brainwashed by those hype-driven influencers. --- That's why I only look at on-chain data and not Twitter. There are too many lies. --- Well said, there are still too many retail investors blindly following the trend. Serves them right for getting cut. --- Retail investors, remember one thing — the more aggressively they hype, the faster they run away. --- It's always the same, they vanish after pumping, so why do some people still believe?

This tactic has been worn out for a long time. As the health factor keeps dropping, they start to run away, while retail investors are still chasing the highs... Truly ironic.
