Wanna know the secret formula for crypto Twitter engagement?
Here's what always crushes it:
"Started trading at 21. Pulled $500k last year. Hit 8 countries. Got the dream ride. Daily workouts. Crypto changed everything."
Plot twist? None of that happened.
But watch these posts rack up likes and retweets every single time. The algo eats this stuff up.
It's wild how the same recycled success story keeps working. Change a few numbers, swap the country flag, maybe adjust the car model. Boom — instant engagement farming.
People see what they want to believe. The dream sells itself.
Meanwhile, the actual successful traders? Probably too busy managing risk and staring at charts to craft these fairy tales.
Just another day in crypto social media land.

Ha, I've seen this trap too many times, it's all just copy-paste with some numbers changed.
Is it always like this? Those who really make money have long stopped talking.
These storytellers have a thousand times more followers than those who actually trade.

It's really amazing, this trap story template can be reused endlessly, just change the numbers and swap the national flag to become a new elite.

Indeed, those who create stories earn more than those who actually trade.

You have all been played for suckers, the ones really making money wouldn't be spinning stories there.
Really, this trap can just change the numbers to play people for suckers again.

I had guessed it a long time ago... According to on-chain data, the wallet flow patterns of these types of accounts are too suspicious. Change the story, modify the numbers, the phishing methods are exactly the same, it's an obvious engagement farming trap. Those who are really making money have been silent on-chain for a long time.

Haha, really, I've seen this set of scripts at least a hundred times on my alternate account... just change the numbers and the country, and you can play people for suckers in a round.

honestly the engagement formula is just basic behavioral economics at this point. if you run a simple regression analysis on narrative appeal vs click-through rates, the correlation matrix basically confirms people are optimizing for dopamine hits not alpha. nobody's trading the fundamentals anymore, they're just collecting engagement metrics like it's tokenomics lmao
