Recently, there have been many discussions in the community about certain KOL account information. After doing some research, I found that some of the claims circulating online are actually unfounded. Take Bernd Schmidt as an example, his account has never changed its nickname since 2012, which can be verified. This user has always been a content re-sharer, and changes in regional information don't really indicate anything significant. However, it is indeed important to be cautious, as there are some $WOJAK-related KOL accounts in the Web3 community that require careful identification. Before participating in community discussions and jumping on trends, it's best to do more homework and not be fooled by appearances. Account history, activity patterns, content quality—these are all worth verifying yourself.

I've heard that most of the gossip is probably nonsense; it's better to verify it yourself to be sure. When it comes to account matters, checking the history is much faster than relying on words. $WOJAK people definitely need to be cautious; don't accidentally fall into a trap. Superficial articles anyone can produce; the key is whether the underlying details match up. Don't follow the trend blindly; verify more. This is the true way of Web3. It's more reliable to verify things yourself than just listening to friends. Nowadays, KOL accounts really need to be checked one by one; otherwise, you'll get cut deeply. Saying "do more homework" is the same as saying nothing, but some people really don't do it.

Oh no, these days you have to do your own homework and not get carried away by the hype. --- $WOJAK$ really needs to be cautious; rumors spread faster than anything. --- Account age is easily checked; others' words are just talk. --- Reposters also need to consider quality; not all accounts are worth following. --- Hmm, Bernd's account is indeed solid; they've kept the same nickname since 2012. --- Changing regions should raise suspicion? That logic is too fragile haha. --- This is how the Web3 circle operates; you need to stay sharp. --- Active engagement is the real indicator; don't just look at the surface. --- Jumping on trends is the biggest loss; even a little brain should verify for yourself. --- Content quality is always hard currency; nonsense KOLs can be found anywhere. --- Everyone wants to cut the leeks; recognizing talent is the real skill. --- The correlation between account age and activity level reveals true details.

As expected, I still have to do my own research. Eight out of ten things circulating online are unreliable. By the way, I've also seen Bernd's account. It's just a retweet bot, but that doesn't affect how we judge authenticity. Be careful with tricks like $WOJAK; it's too easy to get caught. It's better to stay calm. Nowadays, even KOLs need to verify the source. It’s really exhausting. Doing homework sounds easy to say, but how many people actually take the time to check... Basically, it's telling us not to just look at the surface, right? I believe it.

Another post to debunk lies, need to share it a few more times --- Honestly, discussing these topics is a bit tiring, but we still need to watch out for being exploited --- I've long suspected something was off with that $WOJAK group, and finally someone exposed it --- Amazing, even a 12-year-old account can be slandered. The internet really dares to say anything --- These days, few people do their homework, more follow the trend, no wonder they get scammed --- Sounds like a wise reminder, it's never wrong to double-check yourself --- I just want to know where those rumor-mongering images came from, such creative storytelling

Damn, these days even KOLs have to dig into the details, so annoying --- But honestly, accounts that have been active since 2012 are truly worth trusting. Compared to those who just blew up recently, they are much more reliable --- $WOJAK bunch really needs to be cautious. I've seen several monsters and demons whose followers exploded overnight --- You still have to do your own DYOR, or you'll be waiting for a bloody lesson --- Anyway, I don't trust those big V accounts that only post motivational quotes. Once you dig into their history, the truth is revealed --- Bernd is indeed low-key, unlike some old scammers who hype every day --- Doing homework sounds easy, but how many people actually check account activation dates? Most are just looking for convenience --- Can a reposting fanatic also become a KOL? Web3 really is a place where anyone can get famous

Bro, you did some research, but to be honest, many people are too lazy to look into these things and just like to follow the trend and spread rumors. There are indeed many reposts, but don't treat all old accounts as treasures; a long history doesn't necessarily mean they're genuine. For accounts like WOJAK, we really need to be more cautious. These accounts are very good at cutting the leeks. In my opinion, instead of listening to others talk nonsense, it's better to check the trading records yourself—that's the real truth.

Buddy, let me tell you, I've seen this kind of thing many times. You need to have an eye for sniffing out opportunities. Tracing an account's history is just like checking a wallet address; you need to go through each transaction one by one. Don't be fooled by KOL's sweet talk. I've had my eyes on that $WOJAK crew for a long time. Their social proof is so fake, you have to interact with the contract and verify it yourself to be sure. An account from 2012 that hasn't changed its nickname? This guy is at least not someone who just jumps in at the last minute. Respect this kind of veteran player. Don't follow the crowd, everyone. I've already taken the losses for you. Verifying just takes an extra two hours.

Ah, another account authenticity verification bureau... To be honest, seeing that the nickname hasn't been changed since 2012, I can't help but think of all the pitfalls I've encountered before. Many "veteran" accounts in the roster have actually long since changed their minds.
