The crypto market is going through a massive generational shift right now, and it's actually wild to see.

Think about it: most of the mega-influencers who blew up just a year or two ago? They're either completely tapped out or already checking out. Their winning streaks ended, and they haven't bounced back. The new breed of traders coming up now? They're operating on a completely different level—way sharper, way faster, way more adaptable than the old guard.

This isn't just random churn. We're watching the old guard get outpaced, credential-wise and performance-wise. The profiles that are actually crushing it today are the ones who got forged in the recent market conditions, not the ones trading off faded reputation from a bull run two years ago.

The hierarchy is being rewritten in real time.

Bro is right, this wave is indeed filtering people out. The previous batch of luck-based players should have exited long ago. Oh, wait, who still praises those outdated big V's trades… it's all an IQ tax. Newcomers are indeed tough, and the market teaches even tougher lessons. Survival of the fittest is that simple. Having fans alone is useless; you need to look at recent three-month performance to be meaningful. The capital flow has indeed shifted this time; the influence of the previous top voices is shrinking, which is very normal.

Haha, really. Those former top influencers are now basically nowhere to be found. LOL --- Newcomers are indeed tough; their adaptability is much stronger than the older generation. --- Don't hype it up; many still rely on their reputation and old fame. --- I'm just worried that the new ones will become the next outdated batch, just a cycle. --- This time, it's really obvious. The market is ruthless. --- Papers are not as convincing as results; that's the truth. --- It feels like every market change requires a reshuffle. Isn't it exhausting?

nah the real play is watching those "proven" guys get liquidated while some anon with a correlation matrix and 0 followers prints money. reputation means nothing when your leverage ratio goes parabolic the wrong way.

To be honest, those former big influencers just can't turn things around anymore, it's a bit satisfying to watch. Newcomers truly need strength to speak, the era of relying on old reputation is over.

ngl Those once mighty influencers are now just paper tigers, and the slap in the face is really fierce.

To be honest, those big influencers who used to boast extravagantly are now completely silent. It's hilarious. Newcomers are indeed tough. The market is so ruthless; the saying "survival of the fittest" is truly not wrong. The era of relying on old capital is over; you have to be strong yourself.
