I accidentally became a KOL. In August 2023, there was a project for Ethereum that a blue V account got airdropped, so I created a blue V account and then didn't update it regularly. By the end of the year, I was telling my friends in the group to buy $SOL at 40u, and many people laughed at me, so I thought I would post on Twitter. Many people probably started following me from when I established the SOL mobile group. After March 2024, the SOL ecosystem airdrops almost disappeared, and I stopped updating for a long time. After quitting my job in June last year, I felt that since I was now full-time in the crypto space, I should keep recording on Twitter... That's how I went from a few hundred followers who followed me because of my face to a KOL with 50,000 followers. I have really grown a lot along the way; sometimes I look back at what I posted on Twitter last year and find it amusingly naive... Perhaps the meaning of becoming a KOL is different for everyone, but for me, self-output and growth are always the top priorities. I see many newcomers who know nothing starting accounts and groups; there are now more KOLs on Twitter than retail investors, and KOLs have slowly become a "garbage" symbol. There was a time when KOLs in this circle had a phase where they spoke based on their strength. In the early days, I also watched KOLs to learn their thinking and imitate them, but now I mainly only look at developers and on-chain data. This is also why I don't interact much with other KOLs or mix in their circles, because I hardly watch, so it gets boring to just scroll and comment along the way. From a certain perspective, I am an anomaly among KOLs, having accidentally entered this circle and gained traffic. Perhaps one day when I earn enough, I will completely delete my account and leave here.
So, just be a KOL. It's really easy to be a KOL; the more of a loser you are, the more of a target you become, making you more suitable to be a KOL. People from Tsinghua, Peking University, and Ivy League schools can't compete with you; the lower your education and class, the more advantages you have.
