The crypto conversation on X, and the main venue for both real information and paid promotion.
Crypto Twitter, still called CT after the platform was renamed X, is where most of the industry talks in public. Protocol announcements, technical arguments, market commentary and an enormous volume of undisclosed paid promotion all share the same feed.
The structural problem is that engagement and accuracy are unrelated. A confident wrong take outperforms a careful correct one, and accounts are frequently paid to post about tokens without saying so.
Read it for what people are paying attention to, not for what is true. Anything actionable should be checkable onchain or in documentation before you act on it.
A post with fifty thousand views calling a token the next big thing, from an account paid in tokens to say exactly that.
That the accounts with the most followers know the most. A large account is a distribution channel, and paid promotion is routine and often undisclosed. Assume a position behind every opinion and you will be right more often than not.
