Six Flavors of Crypto Influencers
I have gotten a lot of information and education from crypto influencers over the past year+. Some of the picks have wound up paying handsome rewards and others have fallen flat. Regardless, I’ve noticed that many of these influencers share certain characteristics. In this article, I highlight some of the character traits that many crypto influencers fall under.
This article is strictly for entertainment. The names are made up. I do follow several influencers on YouTube. They are all men so I’m trying to be honest and not sexist. It’s challenging creating unique content every day and I appreciate all they do to inform myself and the public about the crypto opportunity.
Influencer #1- Gary Shillenbocker
Gary is great because you know what to expect. He’s consistent and repeatedly talks about the coins in his bag. A good shill is going to have valid arguments and reasoning on why his/her choices make a lot of sense. Oftentimes, they will tie in technical analysis to strengthen their credibility.
When listening to the Gary Shillenbocker flavor, I pay attention to whether they own the bags that they are shilling. Many times, Shillenbockers need to create content and will fill the space with coins that they don’t own. I typically ignore cryptos that said influencer doesn’t own because it reflects low conviction.
