#美联储重启降息步伐 $BTC $ETH A couple of days ago, I had dinner with an OG in the industry, and we talked about the guest list for a recent high-end summit.
I was curious: "Why aren't any of those big-name domestic influencers—like someone on the level of 'Sha Po Lang'—on the list?"
The guy took a drag from his cigarette and said, "Look, do they dare put their real photo on their homepage?"
That woke me up.
The logic for screening people in top-tier circles has never been about whether you have a million or ten million followers. They only care about one thing: do you dare let everyone remember your face.
Because once you show up in person, you're putting your credibility on the line—want to run? You're on-chain.
You'll notice that people who can get into those private meeting rooms don't necessarily have the most followers or the loudest voices. But they all have one thing in common: they're not afraid to let the industry remember what they look like.
That's the game rule: Numbers can be faked, but you can't fake a persona forever. People who show their faces at least don't dare play dirty in the open.
