People have learned from their past mistakes. This is because such influencer has been cheating investors by promoting various scam ICO's. Now people don't trust them anymore. Their words do not affect the market. So no one will listen to them anymore. People are smart enough now, they know where to invest.
I agree with you but still most of them raise questions in this forum regarding where to invest which means they are still confused.
And yes people are more smarter than before many of them prefer to invest in top 50 alts rather than investing in new projects, recommend not to invest in new projects without knowing any stake of proof.
