In December last year, a leading exchange launched the annual "Top 100 KOL" selection. At that time, I had just over 10,000 followers. To be honest, I really wanted this honor because it would add weight to my voice and help me clear the labels of "scammer" or "malicious intent."
In June and July of 2024, I was almost daily active in the square comment sections. Sharing trading logic for free, helping people import indicators, customizing tools—none of these cost anything. But what was the result? I was still mostly regarded as a scammer. I was often criticized, but I thought maybe with this "cup," things could be different. So I started campaigning. I was too naive back then, truly believing the event should be fair, just, and transparent, and I never expected the behind-the-scenes利益链. Especially being someone with zero rebate—my commissions all went to the admins of the previous group—obviously didn't conform to some hidden rules.
In the end, I did win the award, but the process and outcome were far from what I imagined. My mom didn't get to see the award, but my son later drew me a certificate. Honestly, that certificate was worth much more than the trophy itself.
When I truly understood that the神棍运动 was just利益交换 behind the scenes, everything became meaningless.
Time quickly moved to January 2025. I regarded this month as a watershed—"神棍分水岭"—because the square started to see a大量大牛回场的论调, with people constantly citing last year's行情...

This story is a bit heart-wrenching to listen to. Teaching people indicators for free and still getting criticized, and that last certificate drawn by my son really hit home. The god-creating game ultimately boils down to a matter of profit sharing—who wouldn't want that "cup"?

Damn, this trick is really disgusting. Behind the seemingly fair selection, it's all about manipulation. No wonder so many people say the circle is corrupt.

Damn, all these honors are worthless; they're not even as valuable as a hand-drawn certificate from my son...

This story made me a bit upset. To put it plainly, this circle is too dirty, and a clear conscience can't buy respect.

Damn, this scheme is so deep. I should have seen through these people's tricks long ago.

This story really... hits home. To put it plainly, it's a mirror that exposes the vanity fair. That certificate drawn by my son is the real one; all the others are fake.
The story is about to reach a turning point.
