Anyone with even a single shred of critical thinking skills knew (or could have, at least, safely assumed) this from the very start.
wait… so you’re telling me these KOLs “printing” on fomo and pump were just:
> partnered with teams to buy coins using funds given to them
> paid cash to publicly hodl those coins
> never actually had their own capital at risk
> round-tripped the “profits” because it was never their money
> led thousands of their “followers” who are used as exit liquidity to the slaughterhouse
> and somehow convinced everyone they’re god-tier traders
wild. don’t confuse an undisclosed paid partnership with someone actually trading their own capital.
one is trading.
the other is paid marketing.
