The crypto market has a real credibility problem. Too many voices out there are just riding hype cycles and gambling narratives to rack up followers—zero actual market insight, just noise amplification.

But here's what actually works long-term: building a real following through genuine market understanding. Understanding on-chain metrics, reading the actual tech developments, spotting real divergence between sentiment and fundamentals—that's the stuff that keeps an audience locked in. People can smell BS from a mile away. The ones grinding through data analysis, catching early trends before they're obvious, bringing actual frameworks to how they think about positions—those are the accounts that stick around.

It's the difference between viral and valuable. Viral fades fast. Valuable compounds. The market respects people who study it.

That's right, right now the screen is full of "Get on board, get on board" noise, and few truly understand. Almost there. Genuine accounts speak with data, and in this market trend, you can see who is fake and who is real. This is why I insist on on-chain analysis; garbage content gets cleaned up quickly. Some people dare to call themselves analysts after watching just three videos—laughable. Early signals are indeed rare to catch; most are armchair strategists afterward. I strongly agree; those who can see through fake and real will always be a minority. Honestly, accounts relying on fooling fans will eventually fade away; there are no shortcuts.

Well said. It's really disgusting that those who shout signals all day long don't even look at on-chain data and just YOLO. Now, accounts with some reputation are built up through accumulation, not by suddenly going viral overnight. Wait, but sometimes luck is also very important, right? No, no, I still need to look more at on-chain indicators and historical data.

That's true, but most people simply can't stick with it, and there are too many rushing to trade short-term for quick gains. Few are truly dedicated to on-chain analysis; everyone is just thinking about getting rich overnight. Fundamentals can easily be overwhelmed by emotions, but in the long run, they will prevail. There's indeed a lot of noise... but we're also creating noise, haha. Data doesn't lie; it all depends on who is willing to spend time analyzing it.

Well said, but the reality is that most people simply don't want to hear this. They just want quick money and excitement; data analysis? Too boring. In-depth research is indeed a moat, but now even whales are spreading garbage narratives to deceive retail investors. What credibility are we talking about? On-chain data won't lie, but those who interpret it can. The key is to have your own judgment. This is true, but the problem is that there are too few people doing this. Influencers are still playing with vanity metrics. Honest analysis can never compete with sensational stories; that's the reality. But long-term winners understand this principle. It's basically survivor bias—only seeing the accounts that survive, not those that have given up. Ultimately, you still need confidence to stick with the right things and not be disturbed by short-term noise. Accounts that truly do research are worth following.

Watching the chain while awake is brainwashing. To be honest, there's too much nonsense in this market. On-chain data is the real truth; everything else is just white noise. People who do research have already won; those just following the trend are basically done.

I'm already tired of these parrots, shouting about bull markets and meme coins every day... Very few people actually do on-chain analysis. I strongly agree; data speaks much louder than empty talk. Too much noise and too few signals, no wonder newcomers get caught in the trap right away. That's why I follow those veterans—doing solid research is more valuable than bragging. Honestly, those who can spot signals others miss will naturally attract followers, without needing daily marketing. Many rely on creating FOMO to generate traffic, but there are always moments of clarity... Investment logic is the real moat.
