Is it easy to be an emperor under ancient autocratic rule? This question can actually be understood thoroughly through your Crypto investment experience.



Imagine this: every day when you scroll through social media, you are actually participating in a 【Virtual Political Hall】.

First, look at the source of these voices—those KOLs are like ministers in the court. Some ministers come from distinguished backgrounds (from top-tier VCs or well-known institutions), with family histories of military achievements (the institutions behind them have invested in blockbuster projects), and their influence seems particularly strong. But here’s a key question: what about their personal track record? Are they just riding on their ancestors’ reputation as their own ability?

At this point, you need to ask yourself—are this person’s past investment decisions correct? What is their reasoning logic? Or am I just being fooled by their status and connections?

Independent thinking is the most scarce thing. Coming from a good background doesn’t mean having good judgment, and academic papers don’t equate to investment insight. In the volatile Crypto market, blindly following KOLs and blindly obeying the emperor are essentially the same.

That's true, but I think what's even more heartbreaking is that most people don't want to think independently at all; they just want to copy homework. I saw a certain KOL's tweet, they went all-in directly, lost money, and still blame the other party... This mindset is really unbelievable.

Really, these big influencers are just riding on their reputation. One or two of them are backed by institutions and start giving directions. The last time I followed a KOL, they directly led me astray.

Damn, doesn't that mean we're all being harvested like leeks? To put it nicely, it's just following the trend; to put it bluntly... haha, they rely on their background to make a living while we lose money relying on our brains. Really, I've seen too many self-proclaimed influencers who are just lying on their ancestors' achievements counting money. Just looking at their historical track record, I get frustrated. Independent thinking sounds easy to say, but who in our circle has truly achieved it? Stop talking about KOLs. Listen up, you need to verify for yourself, or you'll just invite trouble.

Hey, this analogy is spot on. Most people are just repeating the old tricks of ancient farmers. Following trend-setting KOLs is like following trend-setting emperors. In the end, they lose even their underwear and still thank the emperor.

Basically, don't be fooled by the hype of big V's aura; thinking for yourself is the way to survive.

Haha, blindly following the trend is just setting a trap for yourself. I've seen too many influencers crash and burn before.
