The power of influencials and brand ambassadors, don't fall for it.

I was a victim of this. There was a coin I bought and didn't sell the coin when I saw a good profit from it because the project team said they had made a provision for Caesar calls, and the price would increase if they achieved the Caesar calls. After the Caesar calls were achieved the price of the token didn't grow above the existing price before the Caesar calls were made, and with anger and regret, I ended up selling the token at a low price.
Never allow yourself to buy a token after an influencer on social media posts about the token on his timeline. All the crypto influencers are in for their paycheck and they will make you hold a token even though you see an opportunity to make a profit with their common statement "I'm bullish on this or that".

Brand ambassadors do not really need to know everything about what they advertise or use same. Companies and businesses pay them because of their audience... people that will know about the business or product through their platform.

I disagree with this.
If you're a brand ambassador you should know what you're being an ambassador of. You are an ambassador of that brand. You know what an ambassador is right?
You're a corporate representative. You're like the public face of the company or brand so it will be very foolish not to know what it is you're a fact of.
It might be possible that you don't know the nitty-gritty of the whole thing, but you should know enough to know if it's a good brand/company or not.

Lionel Messi advertising a particular drink does not mean he must be a consumer of the drink... he is just paid to tell you that such drink exists and how fine the drink is. You  are only required to check if you like and need what they advertised or not. No one will force you to buy what you don't have need of.

He doesn't have to be a consumer but he should be able to know that the drink is what they say it is.
Imagine being the face of an energy drink when in fact the drink isn't an energy drink. They just use your face for marketing strategy.
People like Messi should have their team check out those brands or companies before accepting deals from them.

Big celebrities shouldn't even be promoting what they have no idea about. Aside from the fact that they could be complicit in deceiving people knowingly or unknowingly, it's bad for their image.
Secondly, they can never lack deals, so why rush to take every available deal as far as the cheque is big?
I can excuse small and upcoming celebrities and influencers because they're just trying to get money but the already-made celebrities have no excuse.

Avoid being influenced to buy a coin or any project, learn to do your own research, do some background check about the project, check the aims and objective of the project, the scope of the project and what they want to do, and not some unrealistic magic just to eat investors money.

Unfortunately, in reality many people are very easily deceived by the influencers or celebrities of their idols. So they immediately easily follow whatever their idols do and promote, unfortunately, even without them having any prior understanding of what it is. This incident often happens, even in my country, there are Several artists create crypto projects and influence their followers to invest in the projects they design, then give various promises as if they can get very abundant results. They are also humans, when faced with their idols who also promise huge profits, they will definitely be very easily tempted. Unfortunately they don't understand what they are investing in. And after that, their money was gone.

This is the difference between someone who only follows the trends of their idols and someone who always prepares themselves with various insights and knowledge before doing something. Moreover, investing in fields that are new to them. They will wisely and intelligently research first and really study what it is, without looking at who they influence.

Are you suggesting that in such a case, the team will take such drink to the laboratory to test if the drink is actually an energy drink? Next Messi advertises a footwear,  the team will have to test the quality of the leather if it conforms with what the manufacturer said it to be?

Well, if you must know, for every country, there are agencies responsible for checking quality and conformity base on their standards.  They issue approvals before goods and services are released to their public consumers.

Big celebrities shouldn't even be promoting what they have no idea about. Aside from the fact that they could be complicit in deceiving people knowingly or unknowingly, it's bad for their image.

That means you are suggesting celebrities should not advertise cars, aeroplane,  alcoholic drinks and indeed anything that poses danger to the users? Like I said before, it is not their duty to check the quality and safety of the things they advertise but that of the government of the country.... there are numerous agencies that check standard and conformity and certify items and services safe for their citizen. The covid19 vaccine was a good example of celebrities advertising something but it is the government that have the power to decide if it is safe for their citizens or not. We don't have to be emotional about these things.
