I don't consider following crypto influencers necessary because crypto influencers only care about themselves and how they will generate money with their social media accounts, and sometimes they can even deceive their audience by shilling a fake project to them so that they could earn money, and when their audience invests in the project and they lose their money, they will come up with a cock and bull story that they didn't know the project was a fake project.
Not all cryptocurrency influencers are like this. Most of them are but we still have few ones that are doing the influencing job because they want to help out newbies in need. Without following influencers, I won't have had known some of the things that I do now know. It's easy to spot the fake ones because they're always promoting one cryptocurrency or another new coins that it's a fake cryptocurrency being hyped. Fake projects and fake influencers are all over the industry and if newbies like myself although I won't call myself a total newbie because I have been involved in the market for some time but took some breaks because of martial reasons. It's our duty to spot the fake ones and not allow them to make use of us to get rich quick. Follow the influencers with sense and only take the things that'll be important for your growth and forget about any other things they're saying.
