Two paths in crypto projects really paint a different picture:



One relies on KOL endorsements—influencers pushing the token to their followers. Visibility moves fast, but what happens when the hype dies?

The other builds on actual community foundation—organic supporters who genuinely believe in the vision. Slower burn maybe, but way more resilient.

Which one do you think survives the next cycle?

Projects involving KOLs in sales will eventually die out; I've seen too many. Once the hype passes, no one pays attention anymore. The ones that truly last are those sustained by community-driven support. Although slow, they are steady.

Haha, isn't this just a comparison of the speed and stability of cutting leeks... Honestly, I've seen crashes before. That set of KOLs is just scams and deception; retail investors are just the bagholders. Those who truly make it to the next cycle still rely on loyal fans to support them.

That KOL approach has been outdated for a long time. Truly solid projects rely on the community growing organically on their own, and that's what lasts in the long run.

You're damn right, the KOL approach is just fast-food culture; once the fans disperse, the project is over.

The old method of KOL manipulating retail investors is outdated. Truly good projects don't need influencers to hype them; the community will speak for themselves.

Basically, it's still that old saying: KOLs run after a pump and then leave, the community is the real leek... No, I mean true believers haha
