The influence of social media on the financial market is increasingly resembling a phenomenon with religious connotations, especially in the encryption field. The 'prophets' on social media and their followers' beliefs play a crucial role in pumping asset prices, so investors must consider this influence when evaluating companies or Token projects, while also being wary of certain companies attempting to manufacture false faith. Understanding the operation of religion will help in understanding the future of the financial market.
BlockBeats News, on October 5, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju posted on social media, "Since the invention of the Internet, the impact of social media on financial markets has become more and more religious. Elon · Musk's TSL, Satoshi Nakamoto's BTC, and various encryption communities are typical examples. The role of religious "prophets" plays a crucial role in driving asset price pumps. Prophets endlessly expand their thinking about the future and are often thought to have reached a state of enlightenment that is perceived to produce blind faith. This belief has led to the formation of religious communities that share the same beliefs. The stronger the beliefs of followers within a community, the more this asset is considered legitimate, even if it does not bring profit or create social value. It's an amazing phenomenon. Investors must now be mindful of the impact of social media on investment decisions. When evaluating a public company or token project, it is essential to consider whether there is an influential "prophet" on social media and how strong the faith of its followers is. Companies are scrambling to enter social media in an attempt to form religious communities full of blind faith. However, not everyone can become a prophet. Most fail to attract followers. Especially in the field of encryption, if internal efforts to expand their influence fail, they may externally hire opinion leaders (KOLs) to create false beliefs. Only a handful of projects have been successful at this point. The influence of social media on financial markets will continue to grow. Since communities are made up of people, this religious overtone also deepens. I believe that understanding how religion works will help to understand the future of financial markets."
