Beyond the hype: KOL secrets to thriving in tech, gaming & Web3 ecosystems
summary
Panel argues that KOLs build value by launching real products and communities (example: a 30,000-member Discord for airdrop hunting), prioritizing education and transparency over shilling, and rejecting deals that treat followers as exit liquidity. Practical red flags are requests to call something the “next 1000x,” landing pages that ask for risky downloads, or low liquidity pools. Regulation worries include draft SACE rules limiting token mentions; lived losses like lost $20k–$30k shape the cautionary stance and push a people-centric approach.
