People in the past firmly believed in the blockchain and decentralized revolution, which allowed them to hold coins through bull and bear markets, with profit merely being a reward for their faith.
In contrast, people now are merely speculating to make money, adhering to the mantra of "earn Xxxx and then exit the circle". They are not true believers in blockchain, nor promoters of the decentralized revolution, yet they are now referred to as KOLs who dominate public opinion.
