A friend came to me late at night saying they were being harshly criticized by several major influencers in the industry, and it totally messed with their mindset.

I couldn’t help but laugh—why let a few words from people you don’t even rely on for a living manipulate you?

Honestly, whether others are strong or not has nothing to do with you. What really matters is your own capabilities.

If you want to make it in this field, you need to build your own traffic pool, gather your own user base, and establish your own business model. Most importantly—you need to be able to deliver on KPIs. Don’t let public opinion lead you by the nose all the time; that’s not a KOL, that’s a puppet.

Honestly, getting criticized is no big deal, it's not like anyone's going to die. The key is whether you have your own project. You only have real confidence if you can make money yourself. If you rely on big influencers to prop you up, it's all fake. --- I agree with this point, but honestly, building a traffic pool is much easier said than done. --- Haha, that's hilarious. So many people are just held hostage by public opinion and never even think about how to become independent. --- Couldn't agree more. It's really absurd to lose your cool just because of a few comments from others. --- The problem is, most people simply don't have the ability to create their own business models, so that's why they need to latch onto someone more powerful. --- So true. If someone can't even withstand public opinion, how can they hope to make it in this industry?

Haha, you're absolutely right. On-chain data speaks for itself; public opinion is just market sentiment noise. --- Getting called out by influencers? Then let's see whose wallet is stronger, whose floor is more stable. --- It's like "the wise of the nation take it, the wise of the nation abandon it"—real bottom consensus never needs public endorsement. --- The biggest fear of rookie investors is a single comment from others. I got over that hurdle long ago. --- If you have your own digital collectibles pool and followers, why be afraid of a few rumors? That would be living way too uptight. --- Honestly, there are plenty of bearish signals, but few can actually withstand the KPIs. --- Just go with the flow, don't let public opinion hijack you. That's called "the mainland rises and falls"—if you follow every swing, you're done. --- Blue-chip project teams never change course for comments, so why should you back down because of public opinion? --- On-chain analysis is right there, more convincing than a hundred influencer rants. --- If you don't have your own traffic pool, you deserve to be manipulated. It's a common problem at the bottom-building stage.

Really, if you lose your composure just because of criticism, it means you still haven't figured out what you want. --- That's spot on. Those who rely on public opinion for a living ultimately have no real voice. --- Building a traffic pool is much more valuable than begging for recognition. That's long-term thinking. --- If you can't handle the pressure, you shouldn't be in this circle. It's way too competitive, bro. --- To put it bluntly, if a few words can break you, maybe you were never meant to be a KOL. --- Blaming others for being too harsh when you don't have a moat yourself—that logic is really weak. --- The key is to have your own business closed loop; otherwise, you'll always be a pawn.

Haha, your mentality collapses just because you got criticized by a big influencer? With this psychological quality, you still want to go all in? --- Seriously, without your own traffic pool, you're just someone else's puppet. That's how I got rekt before. --- Well said, being able to break even on your own is the real deal. Don’t count on anyone to save you. --- Building a traffic pool isn’t that easy. I’m just freeloading with interactions and airdrops now—quietly making money is already pretty good. --- That really hit home. Being able to meet your own KPIs is a hundred times better than sucking up to big influencers. --- Makes sense, but easier said than done. So many people get wiped out just because they listen to public opinion too much. --- As an electricity-fee guy, I get it. Those who follow the crowd and criticize are the worst. --- The key is you need to have the skills. I’m not that good at it, so I can only rely on compounding to make a comeback. --- Don’t get hijacked by public opinion. Your own ecosystem is the real hard currency.

What others say has nothing to do with whether you make money or not; building your own traffic pool is what truly matters.
