In the noisy world of 'Crypto Twitter' (CT), distinguishing which information is real and valuable has always been a major challenge for cryptocurrency investors. A user named 'Homie G' asked the well-known blockchain detective ZachXBT to learn which trustworthy accounts and content he usually follows.
ZachXBT responded on the social platform X, stating that for trading-related content, he only follows those traders on the leaderboard, such as High Stakes Capital. He believes these traders have performed well in the market for a long time, 'because public PNL is difficult to fake.' However, he also regrettably pointed out that most of these excellent traders have now stopped sharing their views.
ZachXBT further emphasized that evaluating whether an opinion leader has real strength hinges on their 'long-term' performance. He stated:
The keyword here is 'long-term,' because the influencers on CT typically use the trick of—after becoming popular through high-leverage trading or purely by luck, they will create a new account, or they will make up excuses for why they can no longer share strategies.
ZachXBT bluntly criticized:
'Over 95% of traders on CT are actually role-playing; their income actually comes from selling courses, running paid communities, or taking project allocations.'
He also reminded users that while not every influencer has malicious intent, if the accounts they follow lack capability, it can be just as bad for investors, as it will only lead to more noise.
For anything trading related I just leave on notifications for leaderboard traders (EX: HighstakesCapital) who have performed successfully in the market for a long time since public PNL is difficult to fake. Sadly most of them have stopped sharing ideas 'Long time' is the key…
