You ever see someone drop a post with a notable figure's take, throw in a ticker symbol and contract address, and suddenly your whole dopamine system just goes into overdrive? That's the moment most traders lose the plot. FOMO hits different when the narrative feels validated by someone with influence attached to it.

Really? As soon as a big influencer issues a coin, everyone follows suit. Has their mind really been consumed by FOMO?

Haha, it's the same old trick again. A celebrity makes a statement and pairs it with a contract address, and people rush in. Truly unbelievable.

Really, just one statement from a big influencer causes blood pressure to soar, but nine out of ten times, they lose money.

Really, every time I see a big influencer endorse something, I rush in, only to get cut deeply. Now I instinctively do the opposite first.

According to research, this influence-driven FOMO phenomenon is actually a variant of the herd effect in behavioral economics—an authoritative endorsement combined with a token symbol, which directly causes the brain to shut down. From a technical perspective, this is fundamentally different from the trust model of smart contracts; one is code as law, and the other is "big V as truth." They are taking two opposite paths.

This is the dead end for the newcomers; once a celebrity endorses it, they immediately lose their minds.

A contract address endorsed by a big influencer can easily fool people into thinking it's legit. It's so convincing that this is why I always get scammed.
