Who is most likely to show arrogance, disregard for others, and a sense of superiority?

I think it's some KOLs.

Especially those who suddenly become wealthy, making a fortune that doesn't require A9 or A10, as long as it exceeds their psychological expectations and control ability, they quickly become vulgar, inflated, and pretentious.

Such people are small-minded and easy to please; you can't offend them because they hold grudges.

In contrast, you will find that the senior executives and technicians at exchanges, the hardworking employees and researchers who have quietly toiled for many years, are relatively humble and low-key.

They have been filtered by the company, received systematic education, and are managed by leaders and bosses, knowing that the world does not revolve around them.

The identity of a KOL has a very low threshold, requiring no professional background, basic education, or bottom line of values; as long as you can generate traffic, that's enough.

Some scammers can defraud a wave in a short time, indicating that many viewers lack discernment.

Last year at Singapore 2049, I visited the Le Freeport vault, where an early shareholder of Bitmain, who is also my fellow townsman from Beijing, was initially very speculative in our conversation. When we discussed the cryptocurrency sphere, I showed him my account, and he immediately said, "So you're a KOL?" with a hint of teasing in his expression.

In the eyes of many cryptocurrency OGs, the overall reputation of the "KOL" label is indeed not high, because what they first know and most easily remember are often the negative events that go viral: harvesting, drama, fraudulent donations, photoshopping wealth, moral collapse...

This has tarnished the overall reputation.

Those who have truly been validated over time, maintained humility, focused solely on creating content, and avoided generating foul traffic are actually rarely seen by the public.

When I first started my account last year, I only had a few dozen fans. I reached out to several big influencers, and they showed no arrogance or pretense, but rather warmly offered advice, shared, and brought in traffic. I have always remembered that kindness.

This year, I have heard too many noisy and disgusting voices.

Some people from the beginning did not intend to share when creating accounts, but had a clear intention to harvest.

Others may not have intentionally wanted to do evil, but when traffic and money come too quickly, human nature cannot withstand the test, and they gradually change as a person, ultimately crashing. It reminds me of that saying:

"Back then, you were full of vigor, unable to hear any words;

Now you are taciturn, unable to say a word."
