As someone who’s been let into some of these “cabal” chats, the people you copytrade have no genuine fucking clue what they’re doing.
I can give examples, I’d probably start some fights doing so, but just believe me they are actually just throwing shit at a wall and genuinely thinking it’s the next Mona Lisa because they’ve been trained that they don’t need to do better than that.
The story for these KOLs usually goes: They hit one big trade by being blinded by some dumb ass thesis that ultimately routed to luck.
They then grew a following, and then via a self-fulfilling prophecy got copy traded into everything they buy being good.
This is social capital.
The problem with social capital is during times of extreme fear or bear, the only thing that matters is fundamentals.
The problem with fundamentals in crypto is there are no longer any. All fundamental projects minus the big winners of last few bulls, (Uniswap, Pump, Hype, etc), are completely gone. It made no sense to operate them.
1) Because anything you can think of can be vibecoded in about an hour, meaning the only value to your project versus another is the social capital (which we’ve established doesn’t matter right now).
2) Because the game has changed into a 9-5 type of shift. There is no Valor in what we do here anymore. Thus, there’s no belief.
(^^ I’m going to write a whole thread on this in the future ^^)
Combine all of this with your average participant in this industry now doesn’t even own some Bitcoin, and they have zero intentions of buying some on tumultuous market days like today.
The average remaining participants in cryptocurrency are in a psychotic social bubble believing they have quantitative edge when in reality their edge is just how they convince people even dumber than they are to buy things they’re in higher.
My advice: watch hooks, watch primitives like lenders, and honestly… just buy dips on HYPE.

Here is the list of every washed “KOL” who made a post about us 🧵.
(Block every single one of them if you value your time and care about what you see on your timeline. I’m tagging them here to make it easier for you.)
They ran into the deal like they hadn’t eaten in weeks, and every single one of them posted very positive things about us. But now, apparently, they have turned against us and are calling us “scammers” after how we found out they botted their posts, posts boosted by engagement-farming groups, identical AI-slop replies, and thousands of views within the first second of posting about our project.
Now, for the knowledge of all projects and crypto enthusiasts out there: block every single one of them. These people have no morality or influence, and they don’t even care what the project is about. All they care about is getting their free money for their slop and botted posts, and then leaving.
Just know this important sign of a “washed KOL”: they post about a project to their community, calling everyone to join and take a closer look at it, and then call it a scam. They simply contradict themselves and don’t care about their followers or community, because none of them are real, and every reply under their posts feels staged, like North Korean citizens meeting Kim Jong Un. They don’t care about anything but their 50 bucks per post.
Every one of them is simply a cancer to CT and to all crypto projects. Be smart and never let them farm you!
A real KOL with real influence will never post about a project if he or she isn’t sure about it.
Because of this garbage, we lost a lot of time, but our team will move forward stronger!
