The Marketing Mirage: How They Reel You InBy the way, want to uncover the psychology behind the most successful crypto projects?
Follow me on X! As a marketing pro, I dive deep into the industry’s manipulations and share insights you won’t find anywhere else.
As you might know, for years I've been running a marketing agency that’s one of the biggest and most rated in the crypto industry. So I know for sure - none of this works without marketing. The puppet master pulling every string. Take
TRUMP: launched in January 2025, it soared to $75 per coin, fueled by Trump’s name and a flood of X posts screaming “MAGA moon!” Or
PNUT, which hit a $1 billion market cap on Solana with squirrel memes and “community” vibes. It feels organic—grassroots excitement, right? Wrong. It’s a mirage. Studies suggest up to 50% of crypto chatter on X is bot-driven, and paid influencers (those Key Opinion Leaders, or KOLs) amplify the noise for a paycheck.
I’ve seen it firsthand: X threads with thousands of likes, all pushing the same token, often from accounts with suspiciously perfect timing. Solana’s
pump.fun platform churns out memecoins daily, each one cheap to launch, easy to shill, and brutal to hold when the hype fades. The branding’s clever, the airdrops are juicy, and the FOMO’s relentless—until the whale’s gone, and you’re stuck.
