Well there could still be some. Not a crypto-influencer nor something I am promoting, but back when I was day trading I used to watch Crypto Jack to learn how to trade in Binance back then. Didn't really worked out for me in the end since I was emotionally exhausted.

Again going back, I would still take every crypto influencers words with a grain of salt. I ain't worshipping someone just because s/he has plenty of followers. It's way too much to just take followers as an indicator for the truthfulness.

You might need to take a step back there, mate. It is still better to "sniff" by your own instincts not because someone else told you to do so.

There's also a group of pragmatic traders who follow them i.e. to get early info on what shitcoin can pump soon, or to get a gist of what's the currently dominating mood, You might not like them, but if they have millions of views (probably not anymore though) then they do have an influence on the market and on shaping public's opinion.

ps I love the paradox of the vast majority of people not considering themselves to be "normies".

Although to be fair, it is kinda expected that profits are going to happen when an influencer says it. It brings hype and therefore makes people to buy causing the demand to go high and... well you know what's next. Price increase.
People are just overdoing it causing for them to lose money. Just because something happens once does not mean it can happen again. I can still recall the times when Musk was like a hot topic in here. We still got some news from him somehow but the hype is just not there anymore.

In the long-term, it is just not worth it to be honest.

I am starting to think that there are social circles revolving around these like it is mass doing these kinds of pumping.

Crypto influencers have the ability to affect the way of thinking of persons in a specific trading region, motivate the public, and distribute the coins to interests best known to them.  I never placed my trust on influencers; some are trustworthy and legitimate, but the majority are only interested in popularity and generating profits. The easiest method to avoid further losses is to stick to one trading technique and to restrict most crypto influencers online since they might sway traders' mindsets into investing in a project that is a dump or lacks a solid roadmap.

influencers have a motive in every video they make!

they have a goal and that is increased branding on their account!

there are many examples that can be seen where there are many crypto influencers who actually have goals and motives in every video they make, including broadcast time, subscribers and referral links. they are no longer honest with it and everyone who listens should be more critical and careful in believing every sentence they issue.

We’re not yet in a full bull market. These scammers, grifters and charlatans only surface during bull markets where they can push shitcoins on gullible noobs and shill their promo codes for exchange signups etc.

Crypto influencers exist to make money and unfortunately there will again be lots of opportunities for them again in the next bull market.

I agree with your thoughts that bitcoin education will have a big impact on how people feel about cryptocurrencies and people's tendency to follow crypto influencers. With the emergence of more and more training programs for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, people will have a better understanding of how this market works and what opportunities it can provide.
However, I don't think crypto influencers will cease to exist entirely. Even if people have enough knowledge to make their own decisions, they may still seek the opinion of experts in the field. Ultimately, it is important that people use their common sense and not rely solely on the opinions of others, even if they are crypto influencers.

Why not? It's an easy way to make money, Right? It's freaking easy to be a crypto influencer. You don't have to research before you say something to your audience. You grab news from a news website and cover the same thing without verifying anything. Everyone wants to be a crypto influencer these days. Who wants to miss easy money? You can easily use your followers to earn vast amounts of money. Their followers follow whatever they say, and that's why hackers hack those influencers' Twitter accounts and make posts like Send me 1 Bitcoin, and you will get 2 Bitcoin in an hour. These things worked for hackers multiple times.

People are getting smarter. But, every day, new people come into Bitcoin/Crypto market, and they don't know where to start. The first thing they do is follow those Crypto Influencers on social media and begin to hear what they say. Those influencers' posts are like "Top five coins that will be 100x in next bull run".

I believe it is advisable to educate oneself before investing in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is a complex and rapidly evolving technology that can be difficult to understand for those who are not familiar with it. This is the reason why people often fall for the deception of cryptocurrency influencers, believing a cryptocurrency influencer without doing your own research can have several downsides. The so called Cryptocurrency influencers do not always have your best interests in mind and may promote certain coins or investments that may not be in your best interest. They may also share false or misleading information about the market or specific coins, which could lead to poor investment decisions. The most annoying thing about them is that they never face consequences for their false and misleading information.


When I was still a novice in the crypto world, I was following one of these crypto influencers on Instagram who was always posting some flashy lifestyle. He told me about investing on a platform he recommended and I decided to give it a go since I was trying to double my money. I did the initial investment, I gained some profit and decided to invest BIG to get higher profit but that was where I shot myself in the foot. I wasn’t able to withdraw my money for weeks, I complained to the ‘crypto influencer’, all he told me was to pay more to get my profit out. I couldn’t believe my ears, I knew I wasn’t getting my money back the moment I heard that. Immediately I reported to the police and FBI but they could’t provide any help so I went online in search of how I could withdraw my money from the fraud website. I eventually came across someone who spoke highly of Vaultech Asset Recovery Team stating that they assisted him in recovering some money he lost to a defi company. I spoke to them through thevaultechteam @ yahoo . com, provided every proof of payment I sent to the fraud company and they facilitated the withdrawal of my money which was successfully done. Not everybody has been lucky to get their money back from a situation like that but if you’ve been a victim of lost assets through any means, this team can help you out.
