I decided to look into this topic because of the unfounded information that crypto currency investors get daily which most times lead them especially the newbies into making grave mistakes that sometimes cripple their investments. I believe this will be helpful. Your views and opinions will also be welcomed.

Influencers are people who have built a large audiences by gathering a lot of followers that receive whatever information they release at all time. These set of people capitalise on the power of social media to reach their audiences at all time. These set of people have a lot of influence on the national and international affairs and can cause chaos, panic or global acceptance of any Idea they choose to sell over the internet.

Last year saw the reign of Airdrops farming and high cryptocurrency awareness in Nigeria. This was possible due to the role played by the influencers who have many thousands to millions of followers that receive every Airdrops or crypto currency they sell to them. In bitcoin investment, influencers have a way of starting market sentiments and speculations and can also cause panic among investors just with a single post.

Influencers carry a lot of weight with their audiences and can have a huge impact on cryptocurrency trading activity. Information or analysis presented in just the right way can cause an investor or trader to make a decision they might not otherwise have made, be it a good or bad decision."

Influencers are the major reason why Many people are into crypto currency and bitcoin investment today. It is time we start acknowledging their role in information dissemination even though they also circulate fake news sometimes. Traders and investors still bank on their updates to draw conclusions on their daily trading and investments in bitcoin and altcoins.

Criteria for Selecting Influencers

Before choosing a cryptocurrency influencer to follow, it's important to investigate their background, education, blockchain and cryptocurrency experience, political stance, and outlook on the future. Then, look for recurring themes to help you decide whether they have an agenda—some channels are very much spinning available information and conspiracy theories, while others attempt to educate audiences about the crypto markets and the factors that affect them. Some factors to look for are:

Expertise: Where did they get their knowledge and experience? There is nothing wrong with self-education, but there needs to be something more demonstrable than a claim of expertise because "I became interested in 2015," and suddenly, they have a YouTube channel.

Credibility: Do they use facts and verifiable figures, or is their channel full of speculative talk, hype for specific coins, fear-mongering, and anti-establishment attitudes? Who do they speak with about crypto? Are their guests or perspectives credible? Are they knowledgeable and experienced in the crypto space?

Content Quality: Learn what they like to present—this is likely a recurring theme and should be presented with facts and figures, not just talk and emotional responses.

Follower engagement: This is difficult to gauge because not all influencers will engage with their followers. For example, Wendy O specifically states on her channels that she will not direct message (DM) her listeners, apparently due to impersonators causing mischief. Otherwise, there might or might not be engagement outside their broadcasts, but most of the time, they put in the effort to speak to their viewers.
