Your credibility in the crypto space hinges on one simple truth: authenticity always wins.

Too many creators try to project expertise they haven't earned. Your audience reads through it—they can tell what's genuine and what's manufactured.

Here's what actually works:

Teach by doing. Don't just talk about blockchain strategies, DeFi mechanics, or market positioning. Show your process. Share real wins and failures alike.

Practice what you preach. If you're advocating for self-custody, actually run your own wallet. If you're building in Web3, live it.

Tell your unique story. Stop copying the playbook. The market is oversaturated with carbon-copy narratives. Your honest perspective—even if it's unconventional—builds real community trust.

That's true, but how many people are actually doing this now?

That's right. Now the crypto world is full of hype, and whoever shouts the loudest is considered the smartest. Stop talking nonsense. These big V influencers haven't even managed their own wallets and are still teaching self-custody. It cracks me up. Authenticity is easy to talk about, but sticking to it is the real challenge. Most people simply can't do it. Honestly, people who speak the truth tend to have a hard time, while those who make up stories have tons of followers. The world is so surreal... I agree with the last sentence. Stop copying, everyone. Hearing the same narratives every day makes me sick.

nah but actually the "practice what you preach" part hits different. seen too many self-custody evangelists get their keys compromised lmao. if you can't maintain proper operational security, maybe don't lecture about it?

There's nothing wrong with that, but how many people are actually doing it now? Most are still just thinking about quick profits.

It's the same old preaching again, but honestly, it's not wrong.

Really, the most hypocritical thing in the crypto world is those KOLs who only boast. I've been tired of them for a long time.

It's the same old story, saying it better than singing... How many truly stick to it?

Basically, don't pretend. People in this circle have sharp eyes. Real stories are worth much more than bragging. Manage your own wallet, don't just talk slick but do nothing in reality.
