#1: SHILLERS ARE KILLERS: Every single time an influencer shills a specific token that is not Bitcoin, that person is just desperate to see their bags of that token pump to dump it on their following. That is the reality of the market and you should take it as fact. Real influencers and analysts will discuss charts, movements and the market, not how a token is going to the moon.
#2: NOPE, THAT TOKEN WILL NOT CURE CANCER: Most of the real projects out there are created on a vision and with a mission that is genuinely true and honest. It is just the nature of the markets and greed, that most of them will not achieve their objectives and will fade and die before their promises are fulfilled. So you need to understand that money is money and business are business. Hold to YOUR convenience and move on happy every time you make a profit. Do not fall for promises and the idea that because somebody told you a 0.50 cents token is going to be 10k dollar, that is going to happen.
#3: DATA BEATS PERSONALITY: Influencers with a pretty face, guys and girls, will show in camera with a strong "I already made it" attitude, talking like anything they say is the ultimate truth and showing you that if you do not do what they say, you are the fool and not them. Sometimes they will just even risk their reputation by making bold statements that may or may not become truth, like a lady influencer who called a "top for the rest of the year" in mid 2023, prompting her followers to stay sidelined from the end of the year rally and later from the 2024 Q1 rallies. You need to DYOR and stop just believing blindly in anybody.
#4: WHEN THE PRODUCT IS FREE, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT: Noticed that many of your favorite influencers will just post a stupid question in the morning, like "If a bitcoin appears in you account what would you buy?" Let me tell you something important: YOU are an intelligent human being, with a very high value, and a meaningful future. NOBODY has the right to pick on your brains with useless questions to tap on your emotions to make a profit. The best way to manage stupid questions is to ignore them. An influencer who makes a foul use of your time does not deserve your follow.
#5: CATEGORIZE THEM: Some influencers will motivate and pump your emotions. Some influencers will provide good information for general purposes. Some influencers will enrich your macro point of view, and others will be very precise for trading purposes. And the biggest category of them all: INFLUENCERS MAKING A PROFIT ON YOUR FOLLOW AND NOT IN CRYPTO. Feel free to put all the moonboys and moongirls in that category. Also those who take a specific token and recommend you to hold it forever. Only you can decide how you manage your money and how you invest it. Keep that in mind.
BONUS: Real wealthy people don´t show off jewerly, expenssive cars or a pumped up lifestyle. In this times, and you know it, once you are financially free, you will drive a second hand car, will wear h&m clothes and will eat at home with your family, knowing your future is secured and your kids have something good to eat on the table. Every single time you spot an influencer showing off stuff as a backdrop to a crypto show, understand you are watching a liar. But you have to decide. Maybe, and just maybe, the only influencer you need to listen at, is yourself.
