The Truth About KOLs: Are They Your Mentors or Just Selling You Dreams? ๐Ÿšฉ

โ€‹Dear Square community, itโ€™s time to address the "elephant in the room" โ€“ Crypto KOLs and influencers.

โ€‹Weโ€™ve all seen the posts:

๐Ÿš€ "100x potential Gem!"

๐Ÿ”ฅ "Last chance to buy before it moons!"

๐Ÿ“ˆ Screenshots of +1000% profits on high-leverage futures.

โ€‹But how much of it is reality, and how much is pure manipulation? If you want to protect your portfolio, here is what you need to know:

โ€‹1. Their Profit is Not Your Profit ๐Ÿ’ธ

โ€‹Most KOLs earn from your trading fees (referral programs). To many, it doesnโ€™t matter if you win or lose your trade โ€“ they earn as long as you are active. The more "urgent" news they post, the more you trade, and the more commissions they collect.

โ€‹2. The "Exit Liquidity" Trap ๐Ÿ“‰

โ€‹When an influencer with a massive following shills a low-cap altcoin, be careful. Often, they bought in much earlier or were paid in tokens. You might unknowingly become their "exit liquidity" โ€“ buying the top while they are quietly selling.

โ€‹3. Perfect Charts & Hidden Losses ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

โ€‹Drawing lines on a chart after the price has already moved is easy. Most won't show you the 9 liquidated positions; they only post the one lucky trade that hit the target.

โ€‹How to Spot a Genuine Educator?

โ€‹โœ… They don't promise "get rich quick" schemes.

โœ… They explain the WHY behind a move, not just what to buy.

โœ… They are transparent about risks and potential losses.

โœ… They don't force you into FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out).

โ€‹BOTTOM LINE:

Binance Square is a fantastic place to learn, but you are the only person responsible for your money. Don't let someone elseโ€™s hype dictate your financial strategy.
