Don't be deceived by so-called big influencers and KOLs; there's no need to deify certain individuals. Most of them are actually just ordinary people who happened to get into the crypto space before you.
When ADA started to rise in November, I deliberately asked a KOL with tens of thousands of followers if I could buy it. They surprisingly told me they didn't know what ADA was (I remember ADA has been stable in the top 10 by market cap since the last bull market). Then two weeks ago, I asked this KOL again if I could buy BGB (which was over 3 at the time). They said they didn't recommend chasing highs, hahaha.
