The Whole Truth About the Glamorous Lives of Crypto Industry Stars

So, dear friends, I’d like to touch on a very sharp and, one might say, brilliantly fake topic — what’s happening around us in the world, and in particular in the mysterious and so attractive crypto industry. Let’s dig a little, just a couple of steps, deeper than the glossy surface we see at first glance on the screen.

It’s no secret, even to the least attentive observer, that in 90% of cases, in our modest but sober opinion, perhaps even 95%, all those inflated cheeks calling themselves crypto traders are nothing but deceivers, the real fraudsters. In fact, they do not engage in any activity remotely resembling real, meaningful trading. All their “trading” is just a casino, a cheap casino, where they point at the sky at random, blindfolded and on a dare. So if you, dear viewer, see a flashy channel claiming to trade actively with a bunch of screenshots showing green PNL, that absolutely does not mean you’re looking at a real, established trader. It’s elementary theatrical set dressing.

The brilliant authors of these channels understand this perfectly from the ground up, which is why they so often love to show in their social media or Telegram channels an unbelievably beautiful, almost fairytale life, to display their alleged stunning success. To shout: "Look, I trade, I trade, and everything around me is incredibly beautiful, which means I’m damned successful and you can trust me blindly!" This, let’s say, is native advertising ingrained into their pores — self-promotion of nonexistent but loudly proclaimed abilities.

For greater effect and clarity, let’s take a look at a few of the brightest channels. There’s a character — Andrey Andreevich — who allegedly developed a super-bot that gives you magical signals.

You can use this wonder-bot in his channel for a certain, of course, sum, paying what he considers a rather modest tribute to genius. After analyzing his loud trades, we came to the predictable conclusion that all these trades are incredibly, laughably high-risk, and the moment he reaches a meager profit of 0.5% or a whole 1%, he immediately yells profanities at the top of his lungs: "Look how cool and powerful I am!" Let’s not forget that crypto itself is damned risky, and such astronomic risks rarely lead to anything good, in fact they only lead to losses.

Driven by curiosity, we started looking for his social media and found Instagram: just a very beautiful life, a very beautiful girlfriend.

But what hides behind this pomp when you pull the curtains aside? The first thing we couldn’t help but notice is a gorgeous red Corvette that constantly, like an annoying fly, flickers in his stories and media feed. And somewhere, it seemed to us, we’d already seen it — but where?

There’s a well-known channel — Dmitriy Kotov, a specialist in pump-and-dump. Everyone has probably heard of him by now.

Recently, by the way, there was unpleasant news that a lion cub of his was taken away with fractures. That’s a somewhat, let’s say, completely different, sad topic for discussion, but he’s on our radar. We also immediately see a luxurious Rolls-Royce with a scarlet interior. Where else could we have seen it?

 

Ah, there it is, also with Dmitriy Kotov, in the same pose! What does that mean? Do they have the same car on a shared schedule? Or is it just, in my, in our, in our fevered imagination, somewhat strange that two different, independent people drive the exact same cars down to the last bolt. A very touching car brotherhood.

Let’s dig a little deeper, right to the core. We look closely and clearly see identical photos near the same house. It turns out they came, like to work, took pictures of their beautiful life with the cars, took pictures near someone else’s house.

What are they trying to tell the world with this? These photos by a beautiful mansion imply: I achieved all this myself, this is my home. Sure, one could argue that maybe he doesn’t own the property and it’s rented for photos. But are you telling me you rent the exact same cars and the exact same houses in sync? Strange, of course. A very coordinated operation, practically a team effort.

Often, for ambiance, the charming girl Maria appears in the photographs.

We got wildly curious, visited her profile and saw a truly interesting picture.

The dinner photo of both Andrey and Maria is absolutely identical, like twins. So they can’t afford to order different dinners? Just look closely — the cup is in exactly the same place, the main element — an iPhone on the table — seems to whisper: "Take my photo quickly." The very same, down to the smallest detail, scene is with Andrey Kripta. But at least, well, could you sit down and actually eat properly, photograph each other during dinner? Or how was this done, I wonder? Did you order one dish to share, or maybe you even rented it for a nice photo? It’s ridiculous, really, right? A comedy of errors.

Okay, we dig further, look at this girl’s page and realize she’s not simple either — she has a twist. In her personal channel she actively sells her photos for stars. We, naturally, broke bums, couldn’t make out what’s hidden in those mysterious photos. For clarity: the price is 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 stars to reveal one photo. What’s in there is only our humble guesses, but if you officially date a successful trader, why, pray tell, would you sell your photos in a channel for stars? Let’s leave that to the fertile imaginations of our readers about what those pictures might contain.

Scrolling the feed further, we see this Andrey proudly sitting at his workstation, a Z7 case computer.

And what’s most interesting — why did this catch our eye? — an identical workstation, down to the smallest details, belongs to another trader — Neo Trading.

The only difference is that Neo Trading faces the window, while our Andrey Kripta sits with his back to it, turned away. What does that mean? You came, rented a workspace for an hour to take a post? It feels like you guys have one car for everyone, one computer for everyone, one girl for everyone. What is this? What kind of picture of a beautiful life are you selling us? You’re feeding us some ridiculous nonsense with a serious face.

To finally confirm our suspicions, we start checking the plates of that Corvette. What do we see there?

 Uh-huh, very interesting.

We see a photo with a helicopter, start checking that helicopter, and an interesting picture emerges there as well.

We’ll leave these facts without comment to the fair judgment of our viewers.

But neither Andrey’s nor Dmitriy’s name appears!

All this information — after spending just 5-10 minutes of our precious time — made it clear to us that this staged beautiful life, the cars, the restaurants — it’s all just empty, silent imagery. These people simply don’t have real money to maintain even the modest lifestyle that shines in their photos. And there’s a strong sense that they’re ready to photograph even a single cup of coffee for everyone. They order one cup, and until everyone has taken turns photographing it, nobody drinks it — they’re saving it. It’s funny, laugh-out-loud funny. From all the photos, that's exactly how it looks.

So what final conclusion can we draw? Everything they so diligently show you — it’s all staged photos, and there’s no real, authentic life behind it. One big, but very emaciated, illusion.
