You need to communicate more with the project party so that you know how to cooperate and plan ahead, which gives you the opportunity to gain more benefits.

In the eyes of the project party, KOLs are simply a promotional channel. When they seek your cooperation, they are looking for your ability to drive sales, not to make friends with you. Therefore, when you engage with the project party, the most important thing is not to be deceived or get carried away by them.

Unless you possess resources or abilities that they genuinely lack, your relationship will only be a temporary collaboration and cannot be considered true trust. When the market is good, everyone appears harmonious on the surface, but in their hearts, they are all calculating their own interests.

If you can get your hands on the chips early on, it's only because you are useful to them at that stage, and everyone wants to grow the cake together. Whether it's a VC project or a MEME coin, the strategies are quite similar.

However, once the project reaches the mid-term, when it starts to talk about valuation and needs to sell, everything changes. Funds need to be realized, and whoever runs first has an easy time. The project party's focus naturally is no longer on you. You transition from being a partner to being an adversary.

At this point, they will use various rhetoric to stabilize you and your community, saying that big opportunities are coming, that spot trading is about to go live, or that certain institutions are in talks. Most of these 'good news' are aimed at stabilizing emotions because you are essentially competing for the same wave of liquidity—when it comes time to retreat, no one wants to be at the back; everyone wants to be the first to leave.

So, if you cannot see through these games or understand the subtext of their words, do not hesitate; focus on the price. Once what the project party says is inconsistent with the price trend, everything should be based on the price. No matter how eloquent they are, it won't save a chart from crashing.
