The world of cryptocurrencies is a wild mix of technology, finance, and constant hype. But along with this, it has become the perfect breeding ground for so-called "pick-me" characters who want to attract maximum attention, even if their actions lack a real strategy or value.
"Pick-me" in the crypto market are traders, investors, or even projects that prioritize attention to themselves rather than real work. They make noise, publish bright posts on Twitter, promise unrealistic returns, or create the illusion of expertise. However, often behind this are dubious projects or lack of knowledge.
How this manifests:
1. "I bought at the bottom" — in hindsight
The classic "pick-me trader" always ends up being right... in hindsight. They will tell you how they guessed the entry point on Bitcoin, but somehow forget to mention all the unsuccessful trades or strategies.
2. Creating "innovative" tokens
Teams launch projects with loud statements that their token will change the industry. However, in reality, this is just another meme coin or an attempt to quickly raise capital on hype.
3. Endless "smart" retweeting
Some crypto influencers simply repeat the thoughts of major market players, adding an emotional spice. As a result, their posts look like: "Long it while you can!!!" or "Short to hell!", — without analysis or arguments.
4. Pseudo-educational content
Some "experts" teach trading, sell courses and signals that are essentially no different from the basic advice that is available for free.
Learn market analysis: Try to understand more deeply how cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and token economics work.
Don't chase trends: Remember that attention does not equal success. It is better to be effective and humble than loud and unprofitable.
