Virtual Assets, Reshuffling Ranks Ahead of a Bull Market..."All Fake Experts Filtered Out"

▲ Virtual Assets

As the virtual asset market goes through a downturn, the criteria investors trust are rapidly changing. The structure is being reorganized so that only experts who present verifiable analysis and consistent logic survive, rather than those with mere follower counts or influence.

According to the cryptocurrency specialized media The Crypto Basic on April 29 (local time), market volatility serves as a test not only for asset prices but also for the credibility of analysts. Experts who maintained their audience even during the bear market are those who transparently disclosed the basis of their judgments and made it possible for their predictions to be verified through subsequent results. In particular, it is evaluated that an analyst's skill is clearly revealed when comparing their statements during the periods when major assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP formed their highs and lows.

The 2022 bear market served as an opportunity to expose the true nature of so-called 'market speakers'. Some accounts that advocated optimism during the bull market either fell silent or changed direction without mentioning their previous predictions when the market turned down. In contrast, on-chain data analysts, protocol developers, and institutional traders who publicly admitted their errors maintained trust and survived in the market. The value of an expert, it is analyzed, is determined by how they respond when their predictions are wrong.

Since the virtual asset industry lacks a recognized qualification system, a simple reach does not necessarily mean expertise. In such an environment, the selection of speakers for large conferences and institutional Web3 events acts as a form of verification. It is also a characteristic that offline events apply much higher standards of trust than online platforms because accountability for statements follows.

Experts who survived the bear market commonly present analyses based on specific indicators and clearly set the conditions under which their forecasts might change. They also do not equate price direction with personal credibility and revise their judgments if conditions are met. Conversely, if a bull market resumes, there is a high possibility that a large number of new voices who have not undergone past verification will emerge.

Ultimately, as the market matures, investors are focusing on rationale and consistency rather than the intensity of the message. Even amid major issues such as Ripple's M&A or regulatory changes, the trend of requiring data-driven analysis rather than simple expectations is strengthening. Trust is secured only through logic accumulated and verification processes endured during a bear market.
