If you're researching a new coin, don't be fooled by the # of Telegram group members and Titter retweets that demonstrate "hype". These can all be bought for $10.

I used to work in digital marketing prior to getting into crypto (I still do, but I used to too).

I experimented with buying social followers for fun, not for any client work, just for my own experimental projects/websites to see how well they actually work.

The sad news is, social proof is fucking amazing.

It makes users think, "Well, this many people can't be wrong" and massively bumps up the "legitimacy" of a project.

All else being equal, people are more likely to choose you over a similar service/product if you appear to have more likes and followers on social.

The downside is, it's an extremely short term strategy that will backfire the longer you rely on it, but in crypto that doesn't matter. Get in, pull the rug, and get out.

For only $10, I can give you up to 2,000 members in your Telegram group that post hype messages once a day.

Or up to 10,000 Youtube views to get your clickbait videos trending.

Be careful.
