Newbies listen to KOL recommendations, veterans watch KOL behavior: rhetoric is a smokescreen, actions are the real signal
What newbies love to see are KOL's tweets. "This project is going to soar," "Let's go, brothers!" "I'm all in!" Hearing these words gets them excited and impulsively entering the market.
But they overlook a key point: the text of the recommendations is content; the behavior of the recommender is the truth.
Veterans never blindly trust what KOL says, but instead watch what they are doing on-chain, whether their wallet bought in early, whether they secretly transferred out after making the recommendation, and even whether they frequently change their rhetoric to create hype for profit.
More advanced veterans will even study which VC is tied to this KOL, and whether the rhythm of their tweets is in sync with the rhythm of the capital being pumped.
Newbies live in a "content illusion," swayed by every tweet; veterans live in "behavioral reality," only looking to see if it resonates with the main players' actions.
The crypto market is not one of information scarcity, but of truth scarcity.
If you understand, you can calmly take profits while others FOMO; if you don’t understand, you can only be harvested round after round.
