I agree with this point. Frankly speaking, KOLs shouldn't really be considered a profession. Look at the current situation—trading skills are lacking, technical knowledge is insufficient, and even earning from arbitrage is difficult—so people turn to becoming KOLs, hoping to make a living through influence.

Now, on Twitter, these kinds of people are everywhere. Overnight, dozens of new "big V" accounts pop up, making it impossible to distinguish between true and false. I myself was just casually browsing Twitter at the end of 22, joining the fun without ever thinking about making money from it. But now, these self-proclaimed KOLs? They don't hold many coins in their pockets, yet they’re constantly teaching others how to make money. Isn't that just a joke?

You're so right. Twitter is now a big mess, with all sorts of people daring to teach others how to make money. Really, it's embarrassing to lead the charge in cutting leeks when you don't even have any coins in your pocket. The atmosphere back in 2022 was so much better; now it's all just marketing accounts.

Wow, these people are really outrageous. They don't even have a few coins themselves but still try to teach others how to trade. I'm disgusted.

Exactly right. Twitter is really chaotic now, with a bunch of mouthy experts teaching every day. If you don't have coins in your wallet, what are you pretending to be a big shot for? It's hilarious. If you can't handle trading, just become a KOL. I've seen this trick too many times. Really, those new V's popping up are all bragging, and anyone who believes them is foolish. In 2022, just being a casual observer was the most comfortable, but now I'm overwhelmed by this bunch of "experts."
