Crypto has limited media outlets. Only Discord, Telegram, and Twitter. However, there are some big names active as "real" key opinion leaders in these media outlets. jez - A monster with proven on-chain prowess, currently active as an angel investor and advisor. Theo - Early Alpha expert, at least $10 million raised in this space. Defi Maestro - DeFi expert, proven himself and briefly worked at Mantle. I don't remember the names, but strangely enough, these global "real KOLs" are the ones who secured significant points in the preseason. This is similar to the Hari whales and smart wallets quietly farming in the first two weeks of the lighter period. If these guys just give it a whirl, a mid-tier ($600m FDV >) TGE is likely possible without any problems. -> Why would you be a trumpeter? With a few "yes" calls, you could make hundreds of millions of dollars, so why not? Personally, I'm looking at a FDV of $1B. In this case, the point value is around $30. The project itself has a solid position on the PerfDEX (trading a wide variety of pairs at acceptable spreads) + is copying money through a weekly RFQ structure. Usually, a convincing narrative emerges in these situations (= when the trumpeter is blowing the trumpet and actual indicators are released). The overall sentiment of the article might seem to be advocating for variation. I wanted to make a more assertive point: "Those with strong media presence are currently top-tier investors, and the more they are, the more likely a project is to succeed in crypto."
