1/ Influencers & KOLs: The Hype Machines
Influencers and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) are often the first hook. Paid shills with massive followings pump tokens on X, Telegram, or TikTok, promising 100x gains. They rarely disclose their bags or paid promos.
Many flaunt luxury lifestyles to sell the dream.
Some vanish after the token dumps, leaving retail investors rekt.
Watch for vague “this isn’t financial advice” disclaimers while they hype sketchy projects.
