If you really want to stay in the game, the beat option is to develop yourself and get better in trading or scouting for good coins to invest in. You can use information from reputable influencers as secondary information because some influencers are just paid shillers who can promote any project as long as they are paid.

yeah it’s happened with me and my friends. when one of my friend continuously invest money to following a famous crypto influencers guidelines and fortunately he made profit but in my own research investment was failed. it seems he made profit without own knowledge but at the end of situation he lost of all money in one meme coin project.
Luck will not always be with the same person and also at different times with the same person, which is why many people prefer to do their own research after seeing what famous influencers have to say on their social media.

Well your friend got lucky as blindly following a famous influencer is a recipe for disaster. A lot of times when these influencers promote a coin, they just want to hype it, see a pump in the price and than sell it with a lot of profit... Always DYOR!

Sometimes you do so many research for your investment,but you make a loss at finally.In the meanwhile,your friends just follow famous people or obey some rumors,and they make huge profits.Have you ever had such an experience?If you have,how about your friend ?they make a fortune or not?

like in doge coin and axie. many people are influenced by other people's content or famous people. and they make a big profit. The point is that influencers or famous people will make projects reach more people or more larget target market. and the bigger the project, the bigger potential for project to success.


There are people who managed to earn from doge but there are also many who losses their investment, while with axie which the game still moving and still developing there are people who continually earning from this game.

These two projects have been move by the trend and influencers, fact still remains that even you didn't do your homework but if you managed to invest during the hot season, your profits are very decent.

 depends on the decision making that you'll going to execute, but there's still a big edge with someone who does his DYOR before sending his money inside.

Sometimes following famous people always results in profit because what they bring in the content will certainly affect many people and when the market happens then this will be a big influence so for me important and famous people I always follow to look for updates about other projects, sometimes this makes me crazy but in the end it can be used.

And that's how we do it apart from doing research is also important so both need to be carried out in order to maximize how you can earn from the two that you follow.

Plenty of friends who just blindly follow Youtubers and buy random NFTs/alts that have no value.
They just like to make decisions to make good profits even if it won't be in the long term, because every profit will always be worth it and they can immediately move to another place when it's no longer profitable there.

They might be making profits in the short run in a bull market but their portfolios are going to take a beating when the actual bear market starts. It's simply not a sustainable way of making decisions over the long run.
Every profit is a very valuable goal and target, so they also won't be wrong if they apply it at this time, because in the short term everything can be solved very quickly after they withdraw the profit.

Don't get fooled, guys. Short term success has virtually no bearing on long term outcomes.
It clearly had nothing to do with it, since short-term targets were only executed for a short time, so there was definitely no connection and it wouldn't be wrong either if one wanted to do it.

Just follow famous people sometimes it works but it's not enough to just follow it mate ,we have to do our own research I think and look for opportunities within the existing trend ,In my experience assets are important don't sell losse on coins do have a future because one day it will go rise and get a lot of profit
Yes there are friend who also follow famous people but it doesn't always work because there is a lot of speculation that is wrong AFAIK many claim to be experts but crypto can't predict

I do my own research and also follow famous people too.. But most time, i only make enough profit when i invest on what i do my own research on.
Be thankful at least you are learning by yourself and that is what will be your weapon in trading in future.
remember that it is much better that you know things than listening to other all the time.
you may not earning high but at least you are not losing right?
it is very few that making profit with their own strategy and knowledge .

I am not sure if they follow. Famous people can make huge profits, but I will not deny that when that happens to Dogecoin because many people followed Elon and tried to buy Dogecoin in a big amount and suddenly, many people are making huge profits.
After the Dogecoin party is ending, it is difficult to follow those famous people as many of them know that they only want to make a noise in the crypto world and only think about their profits.
I only want to warn people who still follow famous people not to depend on them because they do not know much about what will happen to the crypto and only want to benefit from you.
If you can analyze better than them, you can stick with your analysis and try to benefit from the crypto market situations to profit many times.

I have 2 friends who made big profits from buying doge when Elon started making those tweets. And they continued to follow him even buying more doge while at the top, and in fact now they are losing even more. It seems to me that a person's influence will be lost if they lose faith. And I personally would not follow the influence of others without research. Even if I lose I will not regret it because this is my decision, not following someone else's path.

In my own opinion there's nothing wrong listening to the influencers or being curious by those well-known personality who shills a certain project on their social media which project or token they are promoting as long as you make your own research about the project. In my personal experience I used to listen to some influencers I know that really into cryptocurrency but before I am going to invest in it I do conduct my own research before anything else. At the end of the day you were alone by yourself to invest so provide yourself a better knowledge about which token or project were good for investment.

You can't just follow whomever  that gave you signal or information about your investment, have you think how much time they invested in making research about what you wanna take from them?
Sometimes it's good to follow some famous people but not everything they do you should follow as their target is never the same as yours so while following them apply some techniques that will help to guide you through despite the challenges you would still be at your fit.
The logic is that if there is one person who is almost always right (doesn't even have to be always right, just profitable enough) that could end up guessing directions of coins all the time, then that person could make even more money. How? Well, if that person is Warren Buffet then he doesn't need to tell you that all, but if he doesn't have anything over a million dollars, and he is not known by anyone then it is possible for that person to get super famous, use that fame to sell ads, and then they could get to a level where they are known by anyone in crypto world and rich.

How many people in the world would say no to that? I mean I would say no to that because I am scared of fame, the idea of being known by everyone doesn't excite me but scares me, but there are billions of people in the world who would love to become famous as well.

So, what do you need to do in crypto world for that? You need to be right about your suggestions, if you are right then you will get famous and rich, if you are wrong then everyone will hate you and you will not get ads. So, people follow them because they know that he needs to be right for himself as well, not just to "help people make money" they need to do it because of themselves.

i think in the long run, DYOR is more usefull than only follow rumors or famous people, market will movement with development and not only rely on news/fud, so if you do research and lose its okay, you can try another project to invest.

I think DYOR must be applied all the time especially that we don't know if those famous people can be good influencers or not. There's nothing wrong if we come to believe them but we should also do our part and that is keeping researches on what they are making us believe. So get some idea from them but definitely the final say will be coming from us.
DYOR as always, most of those conservatives types of investor always deal with research first before taking any actions. It saves a lot both of your time and money, as you may decide appropriately with good knowledge to very market sentiments.

Sometimes i also check some speculations coming from big whales and its not really all the time that they are making right speculations so others tend to avoid them before they can create wrong moves just because they fully rely on what those influencers say.

If you can spare portions of your investment, why not right?

Influencers, especially those known personalities do have impacts with some traders on how they decide their target assets.

If you take the risk and manage to make it the right timing, compensation is very much decent. It takes a big nerve though to risk your money with such kind of projects.

As long there wouldn't be those exaggerated sentiments then I might take a peek on that popular person that he do suggest or recommend and as long it isn't something pump and dump scheme then I might consider it out.

It isn't bad to follow someone as long you do make your own research and make out your own decisions without being influenced fully be someone because it is just regrettable on losing money
not on your own decisions.

Always DYOR and don't easily get hooked up with hypes and similar things.

I understand that everyone would say it is better to not look at famous people and do your own research. However one thing we are forgetting here is that just because you look at what the influencers are saying doesn't mean that we can't DYOR neither. Go check what they are saying because that is usually the places that have enough money to do marketing and 100% guaranteed paid those influencers to say their name. And that is literally the reason why we see so many useless tokens go up.

However just because those influencers talked about a coin doesn't mean you have to buy it, just research it and you will see how great or terrible it is. That's my trick, I check what influencers say and then pick something among them, I still do my research on all of them.
