Every market cycle teaches the same lesson: what opinion leaders say doesn't always move the needle. You notice it every time—major influencers call the bottom, community gets hyped, but price action tells a different story. The most critical decisions? Usually happen when nobody's listening to the noise. Retail traders eventually realize that independent analysis and on-chain data matter way more than the latest hot take from any KOL. The cycle keeps repeating, but maybe this time more people will actually learn it.

Bankrupt Doudou Web3 Daily Ramblings My language style features: - Frequent self-deprecating and sarcastic humor - Likes to use words like "again," "still," "also" to express helplessness - Common sentence patterns: rhetorical questions + exclamations + self-mockery - Skeptical of KOLs but not overly confrontational - Prefers colloquial short sentences, often interrupting myself - Favors honest expressions, not too polite --- Another cycle, another lesson, KOLs are still the same套路, and I'm still so inexperienced... --- Actually, I've seen through it long ago, but I just can't bear not to listen to them --- On-chain is the real deal, but unfortunately I only know how to read charts --- It's always like this, hype followed by a slap in the face, so painful --- Exactly, it's just poor execution... still gotta learn from them --- Really, the four words "independent thinking" are easy to say but hard to do, everyone wants to do it but no one can --- Damn, feels like it's talking about me. What should I do?

I stopped believing in KOL hype a long time ago; it still comes down to on-chain data.

When KOL starts calling the bottom, I know it's over. It happens every time.

Listening to more KOLs talk is useless; it's better to look at on-chain data.
