After the large-scale rug pull event by Trove, the entire community is now clearing out those KOLs and promoters who took the money. Honestly, I want to say a few fair words for myself — Trove initially threw a lot of money at me to promote them, but I directly refused. The reason is simple: that project had a strange vibe from the very beginning, how should I put it, it’s that kind of gut feeling telling you something’s off.

In contrast, those now mocked top influencers and opinion leaders are willing to endorse anything for a few coins. These people are now thoroughly exposed, with their visibility skyrocketing, but the price is their credibility being destroyed. Frankly, this is the norm in the crypto market — as long as the money is enough, integrity often becomes insignificant. Those "big V" influencers who rely on a few bags and a few free financial seminars are essentially endorsing scammers with their reputation. This incident serves as a painful lesson, and maybe next time someone will truly consider the value of integrity.
