Yesterday, I saw a rather ironic scene in a certain live streaming room. A host named "Feng Lang" was shouting orders with spittle flying, using typical lines like "Hurry up and get on board, miss this and you'll regret it" and similar routines. I reminded him in the chat, "The current market is volatile, don't follow blindly." Well, he directly hit a nerve.



This guy paused his live stream publicly and spent 10 minutes giving me a round of "output"—ranging from "You don't know shit" to "Only a broke fool dares to rush in," with a very commanding attitude. I thought I was dealing with a big player holding millions in assets. Turns out, later a friend in the circle sent me a screenshot of his real trading account, and I couldn't stop laughing. His entire account, with full positions, only had a few thousand dollars in crypto assets. You tell me, is this operation like "commanding a thousand troops with a toy gun"?

Having been in the crypto market for 8 years, I've seen plenty of market fluctuations and routines. The most annoying are these "blowhard signal providers." Their core skill isn't market analysis but pure emotional manipulation.

I've summarized some common trap types for signal providers, hoping to help everyone avoid pitfalls:

**Type 1: "Bluster over strength"**
These hosts rely not on real performance but on volume. Their routine is very fixed: shouting loudly to create urgency, belittling dissenters to establish authority, but they never show traceable real trading records. Why? Because they can't stand scrutiny. No matter how fierce they sound, their accounts might hold nothing.

**Type 2: "Data magicians"**
They selectively showcase successful cases while hiding losses. They can inflate a 20% win rate to 80%, or turn small monthly gains into annualized returns. This selective disclosure method is even more toxic than outright lying.

**Type 3: "Community harvesting"**
They build fan communities, sell "VIP information," or recommend "insider projects" for a fee. The real goal isn't to help you make money but to take a "buy-in fee" from your wallet.

The crypto market itself is volatile enough, and now we have to deal with these human disturbances. The most practical advice is: look at actual performance rather than stories, track verifiable data rather than follow comments, do your own homework rather than rely on others' signals. Any promise of guaranteed profits—just pass. The market doesn't have many "insider tips"; what exists are probabilities and risk management.
