Do not be suckered in by crypto influencers on social media regardless of their status. They are not your friend and are always self serving

This is and has always been the case regardless of HOW they make money or get paid, crypto is just another tool for them. They are being paid off by whoever to promote a coin or project and are scamming vulnerable users and younger people by telling them they are going to Moon soon and they need to buy as soon as they can. They will generate as much FOMO as they can and will say their 'extensive analysis' is making them rich and they want you to benefit aswell, but you must buy NOW.

They are not your friend. Period. All they care about is their own selfish agenda and do not give a shit about the average person. As long as they are paid well to promote some dogshit coin, then that's all that matters to them.

The list of well known celebs endorsing certain projects/coins and got into trouble has also grown ever longer over the years, the greatest hits are as follows...They include Larry David, Matt Damon, Naomi Osaka, Floyd Mayweather and more...

The moral of the story is , no matter who they are, do not trust crypto influencers. They have THEIR best interests at heart, and not yours.
