When the KOLs you follow only showcase charts pointing north, have you stopped to consider where this narrative is actually headed?
There's a pattern worth examining here. Selective storytelling about only winning positions, cherry-picked winning trades, constant hype around green candles—it creates a one-directional narrative that shapes how you perceive opportunities. But what happens when the tide shifts? Those who built conviction solely on this curated view often find themselves on the wrong side of liquidity events. The real question isn't whether the market goes up or down. It's whether you're making decisions based on complete information or just the highlight reel.

Ah, that's why I already muted those KOLs who only post about gains... Really, highlight reels do more harm than good.

Wow... Can following KOLs and looking at candlestick charts really make money? I think most people are losing out.

ngl the selective narrative thing is honestly a governance failure waiting to happen. path dependency matters here — once you've optimized your feed for only green candles, the incentive structures basically lock you out of bearing bad news. historically precedent suggests this ends badly for conviction asymmetry across stakeholders.

To be honest, it's really dangerous to be brainwashed by these KOLs' hype. You'll only regret it when the price drops.
