The essence of market volatility is often misunderstood. Price corrections do not equal project collapses, and upward trends are certainly not illegal operations—these are all normal market rhythms. But you'll find that the next wave of emerging KOLs seem to have little concept of these basic logics. They may not even understand the ins and outs of major events like FTX, let alone learn lessons from history. This knowledge gap is indeed quite disappointing. In an era of information explosion, basic understanding of the crypto market is actually regressing.

Even a layperson knows the basic logic, so why are these new KOLs still shouting about a collapse... I'm truly speechless.

Oh no, these new KOLs haven't even experienced a loss with FTX, how dare they teach people to go long or short? Honestly, they haven't gone through the 2018 liquidation wave and don't understand the survival rules of a bear market at all. Where does my biggest return come from after all these years of arbitrage? It's from picking up other people's trash tokens. These folks simply don't understand. Knowledge gaps are opportunities, my friends. When they panic, I re-invest. That's true on-chain wisdom. Few people understand on-chain data anymore, and retail investors are increasing. Can this trading still go on? They cry and complain at a thirty-point pullback. They've never seen a day of naked shorts, everyone. Here's a reasonable portfolio yield strategy right here. They don't understand it and still follow the trend. Serves them right for getting liquidated. All talk about a bull market, but ask them where the liquidation price is, and they can't say a word. It cracks me up. I already dodged the FTX trap long ago because I read on-chain data. That's the advantage of information disparity. No matter how explosive the information gets, it's useless. You still need solid fundamentals. Annualized returns are the best teacher.

Really, there are a bunch of self-proclaimed KOLs talking nonsense. They don't even know how FTX blew up and are still bragging.

Really, some KOLs just open their mouths and talk about everything they don't understand, pretending to be experts... --- How long has it been since the FTX incident? It was quickly forgotten. These new guys are really outrageous. --- They shout about a market crash when prices fall, and blame whales when prices rise. Can't they first understand the market cycle, brother? --- The term "knowledge gap" is used well. I'm also furious at these worthless KOLs... --- Honestly, people who haven't suffered many losses simply can't understand this market. --- Now, most people in crypto are just here to try their luck; there's no basic common sense. --- Just looking at their analysis makes me want to laugh. Do they really think fans are all fools? --- In my opinion, before regulation comes down, this chaos will continue. There's nothing we can do.
