Bitcoin Forum

Since the market is "alive" once again and many are speculating a bull run, crypto twitter is fun to watch again. You see a lot of new accounts popping up with their charts, analysis, shills, and their paid subscriptions/groups. You also read or listen to a lot of shits from them  ;D

Maybe we can create a list of all the shits being said/written there.

Here's an example (https://twitter.com/stoolpresidente/status/1295360343057879041):

---

May this serve as a "guide" to new traders and speculators that not all you read and hear from these so called OG's and experts/analysts are educational. Majority of them are just for money-making just like how McAffee has been doing since 2017. Don't blindly take their suggestions or picks.

Charlatan analysts can be found anywhere where there are discussions about finance. They are just more visible in crypto twitter because news outlets report what they say and show it off as if it's investment advice. I wonder what would happen if someone actually followed their advice, lose a lot of money, and then sue the profile because they didn't include a disclaimer denying its use as investment advice?

All the crypto twitter "analysts" that I've seen so far always put a disclaimer.

I remember there was a news about authorities going after paid influencers who were shilling ICOs/IEOs in their channel. While it's a different case from these "expert" investors/traders all over twitter, it sends a strong signal that they can be investigated too if they pose as financial advisors.

Crypto Twitter is such a cesspool of hot garbage.  I am honestly amazed each and every time I get on there and see all the cryptocurrency "buzz".  It is a great place to assess the "buzz" of each project ( or coin ), but it's also completely filled with misinformation and poor information.  It's sad some people end up there an never learn about cryptocurrency from any other sources.  Amazes me really.

No matter how hard we do warn them yet there are still people who do easily get fooled by these calls or shills or even fuds before they do able to realize that these speculators are just trying to manipulate those noob minds
or just new into the market.This isnt only limited on Twitter but other mediums as well like Facebook, youtube and telegram. These places are infested by these kind of people whom do really give out those shitty
comments which are just totally trying to deceive people just for their own benefit.When you've been dealing with cryptocurrency then be ready nor get used to these kind of shitty calls and inputs.

That's the least they can do to avoid being sued by their followers If everything backfires or If they have reached their satisfactory ranged of the shilled coins and run away with bags of money.
The authorities should seriously look onto this analyst, social media influencers,financial experts/advisors, and whatever we call them, to make sure they're airing or posting unbiased predictions.

What I noticed in Twitter today, is that there are also a lot of influencers who are giving out giveaways to follow them and their predictions. I don't know but I think they're gathering as much followers as they can to sell their predictions to whoever uses their services for shilling.

A great approach to something is learning, millions of people wandering around on social media talking shits about crypto ecosystem in convincing less knowledgeable users to loose their money. So many users would rather prefer to earn quick than learning about crypto, blockchain technology, wallet installations process with security and privacy policy, all these are big threat to newly users.
There is no way this could be stopped cause noons troops into the system everyday, some of those influencers just got predictions from other site and past on their page, claiming to have know everything just for the purpose of increasing followers and luring people, even so called influencers know nothing about working system of crypto.

education ? where . its not also for money making because i dont see that they mention a coin  , what i only see are funny post and they are written like they are a non english speaker .

 theres nothing wrong about them , they are only a normal crypto fan or they set up a twitter because they are working for bounties and other kinds of campaigns like what we have here on the forum .

I'm not saying its bad to read all of them but rather it's bad that you will just believe and follow what they are saying badly. I mean it's like trusting a stranger your bank account for just speaking to them. Same goes with statements and analysis we see in the crypto industry you aren't really sure if there is a hidden agenda behind it or they are simply just dumb people hoping that their thousands of followers will just believe one what they are saying. So the next time you read some prediction and it is factual the next logical thing you do is to do your own research about it.

Right, this is what those supposedly twitter influencer wanted to see, a crypto bull run that they can ride again similar to 2017. Wherein there is a bunch of so called experts again and there are a lot of newbies in crypto sphere that are going to fall for their trick. And let the mistakes of 2017 be a guide and lesson not just for newbies but for experienced traders and investors as well. Do not get influenced by those so called experts.

It is normal to see many new accounts tell about the chart, analysis, shills, or else. We don't have to listen to them because we can search for ourselves, and that is why learning about trading will be necessary. But if you think that they say right about the market, you can use it, but you need to analyze more to find another sign that will be useful for you.

Apparently, there's some counter-trading going on on CT  ;D

Shills coins and pumps

I can't verify the accuracy/truthfulness of the tweets but be safe and don't get caught in the crossfire  ;D



Don't bother. You are way too innocent for this.

He doesn't think it should be the opposite; In his words instead of bringing that shitCryptoTwitter out of here.r

If you have interesting topics post on twitter or take the huge amount of good posts that exist in the forum and create thousands of links, maybe you may not switch to crypto Twitter, but with a single user who believes that here you can find "more adequate" information It's enough.

I like twitter, but they there and we here...

Actually in the past halvings it took at least six months for all this to pick up,,, so if this is a real rally then it has taken only 2 months for it to begin (halving happened in May).

Crazy times will be coming for altcoins but I do not think they will be able to pull away from Bitcoin as usual. And then we are on another bubble of hype this time from Defi.

LOL, thankfully everyone is smart enough not to take to the moon tweets as investment advice without doing their own research.


The question now is where the price surge will stop. It would make for some interesting long-term hedges, especially if you buy futures.

Lol ;D some people are dumb asf to be sincere. How can someone be saying that they are interested in pumping and dumping a coin? ??? What if they invest in an attempt to pump and dump the coin and it doesn’t work out for them, maybe they end up investing when others are about to dump that coin, or they might even invest in that coin and no one would invest in it, and they will just holding a shit coin?

This is a cryptocurrency market and it’s very important for everyone to be careful what they do, if you lose your money, it is gone for good and you’re not getting it back, unless you’re lucky. I was going through the forum earlier today and came across someone that said he invested $50,000 in a new coin. People just be taking risks.

The so called "crypto trader and experts" are back. While I'm not surprised,  the only thing wrong about it is that newbies will be at their handle waiting on pump and dump calls to dive in and they do so without making their own research. A couple of days ago, someone posted his portfolio and immediately, his followers replicated majority of it. It's funny how people will easily jump on a call by someone who they know is not a financial adviser and go all in. Doesn't make sense.

If everyone on crypto twitter is winning their trades, who is at the losing end? Lol.

Yeah those people who are suddenly "experts" on predicting bitcoin prices are very funny to people who are veterans here, if you know what you are looking at you would know that bitcoin is volatile and unpredictable, anyone who draws few squib lines in a chart thinks they are experts and act like they know what they are talking about and how they are great at doing TA but few months later you will see all of them go away, nobody could make any sort of sense from bitcoin because in reality bitcoin is not a sensible thing.

However it is still fun to see it, that miiiight hurt some people who are other newbies but it is usually harmless if you know they are wrong, however it also means that there is action in bitcoin once again which is why I like it when they revive and start again.

I just hope there will be fewer people now (as it's quite impossible for me that no one will fall) that will buy this kind of craps. I know there are "new players" but that shouldn't be a reason why should they fall as there are even newbies who know how to use their "common sense".

On the other hand, a shill type like this really boosts crypto awareness at any given social media platform. However, this awareness mostly leads to thinking crypto is an overnight profit scheme while others think of this as a scam.

Anyhow, that kind of shilling scheme will be forever be associated in crypto so people just have to be vigilant on what they read. Not just on Twitter but other platforms as well.

This guy is pulling a lot of newbie investors to their own failure.

Aren't people like him not guilty of what they're doing? all they want is to make newbie investors fall for what they're encouraging. These poor investors are what they are targeting to fall for these "encourage".

It's not the game of crypto but it's a game for them.

This is why twitter isn't really the best place to look for good info. Heck, twitter is mostly just people posting random stuff that came out of nowhere, I only really follow some twitter accounts of crypto for statistics and daily news/updates. Following "influencers" is just a waste of time and space for me imo. It's basically almost like how I treat Telegram, I only join a select few that I personally think that are helpful to what I need to know, though I already left Telegram some time ago.

I wonder what made people so gullible today. I mean, not that I'm perfect or anything, but I've learned from the start to look up every info I can regarding something since it just irks me if something doesn't go the way I want to, whether it comes to crypto when I came in or whether other stuff (mainly coding).

Not only on twitter, but almost on all social media about crypto predictions and various kinds of bitcoin price speculation. Especially many paid groups are starting to get active to provide some BTC signals and other coin prediction signals. This is an opportunity to earn even more money by using other people to move the price of the coin they want.
There are several paid crypto signal groups that are good and competent to provide the latest signals, but there are also many fake groups that are only made for the benefit of the group owner.

Sadly not all newbies learn from their mistake and it is now their fault that they are still losing money because of it, and these people are also the ones who blame the crypto itself on them losing the money and they don't blame the ones who they are listening the advice too. For these guys we can't really do anything to them as they don't want to learn in the first place all they think off that there is an easy money in the crypto industry so it's really better to just leave them alone as they need to help themselves to change.

One thing I noticed is the 'crypto twitter expert' are never at loss. They always buy at the bottom and sell at the peak which is quite funny because many noobs seems to believe their stories. I took it upon myself to monitor a particular account sometime back and all the user does is call a buy prediction on newly listed coins on Binance. If you're not inform you'll think he's some bad ass expert and probably end up giving him your funds for prediction that if that's what you intend doing you can get that easily by following Binance on their social media platforms.


I guess it has to be we lol, the non twitter traders. Newbie should just avoid that platform because if you're not the type that has control over your emotions, you might end up getting screwed wanting to be like them.

It is such a piece of shit move that I have seen people actually making their accounts hidden and not accept any followers first, post a million things for a few months, put every side of it like a possibility, so remove the one that is wrong and keep the one that is right (because when you give all possibilities, one of them will be right) and when they finally open their account to public it looks like for the past 3 months they have known every single movement in bitcoin.

These people are sick and they should be arrested, they are not wise or smart or anything (well they are smart for figuring this method out) but they are just doing the obvious, they just say "it will go up" and "it will go down" and whatever happens removes the other one, this should be a criminal act.

This is true lol. I've seen many accounts with a high activity in twitter even they just registered days or week ago. Probably one of the ways to spread FUD or fake analysis to distract others or setting trap. It is still better to go alone with some guidelines on your map rather than depending on these guys, coz if they are wrong it is not their mistake, it's yours to regret coz you followed their market conclusion. Always check who you follow or want to copy trades, if you're going to have one at least he's popular and wary of the market.

They are sick yes, but how can they be arrested for that? haha let them be fools alone themselves, thus only fool will fall on their words. This isn't a criminal act, instead a pitiful act.

The fake experts can talk about their own altcoins bags all day long and there is nothing wrong to promote the specific coin especially if the influencer has invested a big amount or go all in. There are a lot of lessons that have to be learned through well-known traders who share valuable data on crypto Twitter. Charlatans are here and there, no need to blame specific social media as the main target.

What is certain is that if the market is bullish, there will be many predictions appearing everywhere, not only on the Twitter platform.
We have to be more careful in dealing with this, because most of the several Twitter accounts take advantage of this moment to attract
members for their paid groups. Which paid groups are not always accurate in giving trading signals. My advice is better start learn to
analyze the market yourself, so the results you get are also more reliable and accurate.

Been sick of this twitter shilling, One of the first do this and make it very effective is McAffee. There is too much shilling before when many new crypto users find suggestions on what to invest and these people got to take advantage of it. Repetitive tweets from different accounts seem to be normal in twitter I guess.

Too many false information about crypto in twitter and this can bring harm to the viewers, Today DeFi projects are the one who is hype in twitter, Can't really trust people who's hyping up in twitter  :P

I don’t even follow cryptocurrency on Twitter, because I know that people say a lot of sh*t on there, so I just come to this forum or just do my research online and that’s it, no need to stress. When the crypto market is on a uptrend they will start rejoicing and making dumb predictions and exaggerating by saying that it will reach up to $100,000 or even $500,000 and I laugh at those that say it’s going to reach $1 million ::). But with just a slight decrease, they will all start saying how much they hate crypto and then you see some of them saying that they are going to quit and all that.

Scammers don't feel guilty. They just loot people for their own profit. And yes they always try to trapped newbie traders whom don't know about much about crypto. That's why people should not follow those scammers and not be fooled by new scam projects.
After twitter incidences now days its too much risky to follow any that social media. It's better that learn about crypto from other platform.

I got Twitter on my phone because I think its a good way to get a quick glance at the markets of bitcoin and crypto without having to navigate a forum. And its also more accurate than some of the Crypto news websites out there.

So if there was some major price boom or crash, you can quickly go to Twitter and check and see what happened pretty quickly. Going on bitcointalk with a phone would be much more work since its harder to navigate rather than just needing to scroll down.

However keep in mind that there are many amateur traders out there and you shouldn't trust them too much. That and there are tons of fake giveaway scams and shilling for many  ICOs and small cap alt-coins so you need to becareful.

Yes, everyone is shilling their bag full of shit coins and then dump it once the price goes off because of some newbies believing every word spewing, Lol. Anyhow, I just love to see read them and sometimes it gives me a good chuckle as I will say that I'm been in the game and seen almost every shilling so I'm not affected by it.

But for newbies, damn, they can easily fall and then don't understand what happen when the supposedly shill token goes down hard. These people are worst than scammers, make believers and giving noobs false hope.

To be honest I am watching some of these self-proclaimed crypto experts/analysts for reference and from that, I will do my own research and I will decide for myself and not because they are shilling or promoted it. Sometimes there are helpful and sometimes not. I just look in your example he promoted Blockfi and recently I have seen a news on theblockcrypto that Blockfi has raised a wooping 50 million dollars check below link for reference.

When you got the right people or channels to follow on twitter then it could be a good platform to have it so, especially when you followed the active ones and is linked with some crypto portals. But to be honest, it is just like any other website coz there are lot of shit in  there which might lead you to something awful. Twitter is not the top draft.

Indeed browsing bitcointalk to your phone is not that good, I've tried it many times, I miss some press many times, links are too small for the thumb and all but checking it on twitter is not also good. I'd rather use an application, not to mention which one, but it is better when you turn their notification on, you get an instant view of what's happening in the market.

Not just on twitter, on any other platform, and I think we got bunch on them in the telegram luring some beginners.

Not all would be just trash or useless it will depend on how you do make up some verification or research because there are still info which are useful and not.

One way or another, regardless of what experts we listen to and what sources of information we take into account, in order to achieve good results in our activities, it is still necessary to analyze and verify all available information personally. Everyone should understand that in the market everyone earns and any positive feedback can be primarily an advertising presentation.

Mostly the targets of these Twitter accounts are newbies (new investors). Of course if you have been tricked before you already know where to look at. Though there are still Twitter accounts worthy to follow especially projects that have prove themselves as legit. There are also activities done only on Twitter like giveaways or puzzles posted by project's promoters. (I am generalizing everyone.)

I don't know about accuracy but there are a lot of contents on crypto news sites that were taken from twitter.

True. Basically, all things about crypto spreads fast on twitter including rumors on exchange hacks and code vulnerabilities.

the legend says that somewhere there is a successful top trader who in addition to his job has extra time to write daily TA and charts, analyze many different strategies and share it on Twitter that the masses of anonymous traders would make little profit. but it is only a legend, which is btw I invented it right now.
Now serious is it really to expect that experienced trader will waste his time to write TA on Twitter or anywhere for free? the first thing is that there is probably no time to throw and second, they probably earn enough money, so they don’t need to try to explain it all to others for free or for few bucks.

Yes, scammers are all around us, they are represented in all social networks. Twitter is no exception to this, but I take information from it only from verified sources. But I think the largest number of them is in Telegram. Regardless of your source of information, you need to be careful with all investment offers.

CT is full of everything and anything. People shill what they paid for, and you can guess who is paid for what by their twits. CT (or crypto twitter) is an interesting place to be for some time. Facebook is doing their thing with banning crypto accounts here and there, but tweeter is open as it is and there you can see many things.
Each of us making his own accounts as we pleased, twitter is no different. You choose whom to follow, you can block followers, you can make some order. It's what I do, I don't follow many things, just what I like, and when I don't like something I block it, there's no other way to keep yourself out. Always have on mind that you are moderator and that you can choose whom to follow and what you like to see.

It's very true that when market alive once again, some so called crypto twitter master comes to choosing what crypto to invest in. Some of their posts they indicate to buy a particular coin like I’m heavily invested in bla, bla, bla, you should do same and just chill. Always aware, if someone try to pay attention with any hot topics.

There are a lot of people making a thread and post with the use of different social media because they share the use of the bitcoin and the market price it has already and we usually saw this every time when the market price of the coin pumps up.

Right now there are a lot of spreading this there is a chance that many people make an investment too because of getting curious and want to make an investment too this gives a lot of problem to the people who do just not have enough knowledge regarding with this coin they are getting dependent on the people they just saw on social media.

This thing can be included as FUD, the FUD term has familiar in 2017-2018 ago in this forum moreover when bitcoin's price crashed a lot at that time. It should take a learning for us, spending money to buy crypton currency is the bad way if you know nothing against it, you will fall to the trap and lose all your money.

This market just for those who knows cryptoncurrency properly, and I believe they spent more time to understand how this market move and especially they know its characteristic. There will be many new comers, the current uptrend market has made many people tempted to come for entry and hopefully they take to understand first before they spend money .

They say never to kick a man when he's down but I can't help it, sorry  :-\

If you've been following this one week wonder guy, you'll get it  ;D
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgC4Km8UwAEBNDQ?format=jpg&name=small

The end of the year is the best time where they compete for their analysis of the price of the coin at the end of the year, it's like a new year resolution trying to be better every year, we will see how high and the low, I hope I will not see $100 k predictions anymore, because it's unbelievable at this point in time.

Crypto Twitter is the dirtiest place. There is no shortage of crypto experts on twitter when the market is green. Because then they reach that target as soon as they give any prediction. As a result they take credit and claim to be big traders.

On the other hand, there are some big traders who try hard to create hype in the market to pump any coin of their choice. Those who follow them must eventually lose their money.

I guess twitter is something quite easy to fool people with, you just buy some votes, you just buy followers and basically fake everything until you make it. Same with youtubers as well, they do chart readings and analysis and they have 20k views? I am sorry but I do not buy it, there are not 20k people who are following every single video of yours to see what type of analysis you are going to come up with, at max it would be like 300-500 and that is if you are famous in the crypto world.

Same with twitter "experts" who have like 50k followers, try to randomly open 100 of their followers and check their tweets, they are either empty or they are just meaningless words string together. This new social media age made people feel like they are competing against something that doesn't exist.

I have a friend who is quite successful in trading on the crypto market. At the time, I asked him why you do not write here on the forum and do not share your forecasts from time to time. He said that it is not only a waste of time, but also sometimes very harmful to write about what you plan to do, because other experienced traders can play against your positions.
