Especially the smaller market cap coins. But even big coins like XRP, ADA etc I can almost gurantee you that they are paying for shills.
Don't beleive everything you see in Youtube and in Reddit. ADA to $10 eoy
Theta to $1000 and all of this shit.
Youtubers get 30K for 1 video to talk about the coin
I agree about "Don't believe everything" before we research ourselves because they can say anything because of their reason. If that comes from the Youtube channel, they want to attract more subscribers and viewers, which means they can get more payment from Youtube. If that comes from Reddit, they can get more followers who will wait for the updated news, which they don't know if that news is right.
But if we can use whatever they say for our benefits, especially if after they say like that gives an impact to the price, it will give us a chance to do something and make a profit later.
If that project really good, I am sure the project can compete with other projects and impact the price. We need to wait for the time to answer and don't rush to decide.
I have worked with plenty of projects in my past, I made a good amount of money from working with those projects, and some of them failed, and the project I am currently involved with is not doing that great neither. However while I worked with those places I have learned one thing ; people lie for money. I know that sounds like a very simple truth that everyone should know about but the fact is that people are not really focusing on the that fact when they are watching a very high quality youtube video.
You look at it and it is 10 minutes of someone you trust talking about a great new project with amazing editing and all and you think to yourself that person must be telling the truth, why spend 1k+ on editing and maybe 1 week manhour work on just one video if it is not the real thing right? Well that guy asks 10 bnb for a video, that's 3k+ dollars, 3k+ per week is an amazing money wherever you are living, especially in not big nations. That's why I never trust anyone aside from the whitepaper.
What you say it's right. If that is related to money, people will do anything, but some people can do their honesty while working on their projects. And that makes the project can survive, even in the hardest situation, because they believe that if they can do their best and honesty, they can convince people that they will not lie about their work.
People can do anything, including editing a video and upload it on Youtube. It is easy for people who have a lot of money because they can hire someone to do that thing and do the rest. Knowing the project from the whitepaper can be a solution, but not all whitepaper from the project can telling the truth because I am sure you already heard about a project that copycat the other project just to invite more investors to invest in their project. It needs make us be careful and selective to participate in the project.
