@n2ckchong's great educational thread on Aave inspired me to write a #CryptoTwitterManual. This is a useful guidebook to help all the new market participants navigate the Crypto Twitter (CT) minefield and avoid getting rekt by fomo.

The #CryptoTwitterManual consists of the real tweets I captured from many CT influencers with the explanation what they really could have meant. Don't be under a delusion that influencers publicly share alpha for the benefit of their followers. Most of them don't.

Not all CT influencers are mindless shillers though. Some really do care for their followers and try to educate them, not only force them to buy shilled bags. Be mindful of this fact, learn from others but not necessarily immediately buy what they shill.

#CryptoTwitterManual has the following form:

T - the original content of the Tweet (but without tickers)
E - Explanation what author probably had in mind

T: This one hasn't even started!

E: Price has already increased a lot and it's understandable that you are hesitant to jump onto this parabola so I will pretend I know things nobody else knows to make you fomo-in.

T: X crushing it with some great partnerships.

E: X partners with a project nobody has ever heard of before or uses some publicly available services from well known companies like Google Cloud. It means nothing but I want it to sound great.

T: Some of the projects that you should keep an eye on: X, Y, Z. I expect them to be top performers for the upcoming months.

E: I invested in private sales for X, Y, Z and need you to become my exit liquidity. Please fomo-in so I could maximize my profit.

T: What dips are we buying today? X, Y, Z all seem like good dip opportunities imo.

E: My X, Y, Z bags are underperforming and I need your bids to exit.

T: Spoke with an insider today that is close to the team, he told me minimum it will hit [$] short term because of what is coming...

E: I have no idea what this project is about and don't know how to sell it to you, so I will use insider meme to convince you.

T: This is one of the most hyped launches I've seen in a while.

E: I invested in private sale and have to create some hype around this to get a nice multiplier on my investment.

T: My price predictions for XYZ:
- short term: $
- long term: $$

I will quote this tweet as we reach those milestones.

E: If I happen to be right, I will quote this tweet and brag like crazy to show how brilliant I am. If I'm wrong, you will never see this tweet again.

T: Damn this is huge, I knew XYZ were doing some crazy things! Send this thing.

E: XYZ announced a meaningless partnership with a meaningless project to do meaningless things supposedly together. It's nothing but I need to build some hype around it.

T: XYZ hasn't had a bull cycle yet, I would not be sleeping on this one. They're making some impressive things behind the scenes that will seriously legitimise this project.

E: I have big bags of XYZ and in spite of my heavy shills it still underperforms heavily. Buy please!

The list of similar tweets is endless but I will stop here. Just remember that the author of the shilling tweet always has the purpose and it's rarely to make you rich. Don't buy if you don't know what you buy and when you want to sell. Good luck!
