The Truth About KOLs: Are They Your Mentors or Just Selling You Dreams? ๐ฉ
โDear Square community, itโs time to address the "elephant in the room" โ Crypto KOLs and influencers.
โWeโve all seen the posts:
๐ "100x potential Gem!"
๐ฅ "Last chance to buy before it moons!"
๐ Screenshots of +1000% profits on high-leverage futures.
โBut 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:
โ1. Their Profit is Not Your Profit ๐ธ
โMost KOLs earn from your trading fees (referral programs). To many, it doesnโt 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.
โ2. The "Exit Liquidity" Trap ๐
โWhen 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.
โ3. Perfect Charts & Hidden Losses ๐ผ๏ธ
โDrawing 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.
โHow to Spot a Genuine Educator?
โโ They don't promise "get rich quick" schemes.
โ They explain the WHY behind a move, not just what to buy.
โ They are transparent about risks and potential losses.
โ They don't force you into FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out).
โBOTTOM LINE:
Binance Square is a fantastic place to learn, but you are the only person responsible for your money. Don't let someone elseโs hype dictate your financial strategy.
