I contacted KOLs on my list one by one, hoping to discuss a project with them, but? I was simply ignored. But conversely, when these people want to boost their own projects, their attitude changes—they will ask you to help promote them vigorously. 😂 This is the reality of the crypto world.

To put it simply, a KOL's attitude towards a project completely depends on whether they have a stake in it. This selective enthusiasm actually reflects an interesting phenomenon in the market: whether a project is good or not is not the key, the key is who is pushing it. Those projects with real strength that do not rely on KOL endorsements are actually more likely to stand out in the market. This is also why more and more investors are starting to do their own research instead of blindly following the crowd.

Feeling like a tool to KOLs really makes people break apart --- Honestly, without chips, no daddy; I've seen this routine too many times --- So, you still have to rely on yourself to research, don't expect these people --- KOLs are all double standards kings, hilarious --- Anyway, I just pretend they don't exist and still make money --- That hit the point, selective help is really disgusting --- The more I go on, the more I realize that famous people may not have a conscience --- Don't trust KOLs, watching the market yourself is better than anything --- The crypto circle is this kind of stuff, I'm used to it --- The key still depends on the project itself, don't be led by the rhythm

This is double standards, it cracks me up KOLs are all profit-driven, they ignore you if there's no chips Truly awesome projects don't need these people to endorse them Doing your own research is the real way, don't get exploited by these folks The crypto ecosystem is so disgusting, whoever has money is their daddy Turning against the sky and the stars, they change faces as soon as there's profit to be made Retail investors still have to rely on their own judgment I've seen through this phenomenon long ago, and I still live on

Crypto KOLs are just like this—if you have chips, you instantly become a close ally; if not, you're immediately blocked. It's all driven by利益, nothing new. A truly good project doesn't need these people to hype it; the market will speak for itself. The selective enthusiasm of KOLs has been played out for a long time; smart people stopped believing in it. Having chips makes you the boss; without chips, you can't even get a reply. The crypto ecosystem is this fragile. Doing your own research is the real way; don't rely on these people to guide you. That's why I increasingly dislike KOL culture—it's all套路 with no sincerity. Whether a project is successful or not depends on actual results; no matter how much you hype it, it won't help. I've been ignored too, so now I rely solely on on-chain data, not on words. With chips in hand, attitudes change—it's quite ironic.

Haha, I totally relate to being ignored. These people are just opportunists and turncoats. Without chips, you're invisible; with chips, you're their daddy. The crypto circle is like this. Honestly, projects with real strength don't bother to look for these fair-weather friends. On the contrary, those who go around seeking endorsements are nine out of ten likely to be dead-end projects. Now I analyze the market myself and make my own judgments. Listening to KOLs is not as good as listening to my own wallet, haha.

This is the epitome of double standards, hilarious. KOLs are exactly this kind of creature. When they have chips, they are hot to the touch; when they don't, they pretend to be deaf and mute. Truly remarkable. I've seen through it long ago; projects relying on KOLs are inherently bad. Those who are truly committed and grounded in their work are the real deal. By the way, how is your project going? Let me see if I can get on board. This statement is spot on; the crypto world is like this. The enthusiasm of KOLs can really only be measured by their chips.
