Look, I get it. You wake up, open Twitter (X), and it's a war zone.
One influencer says "Bitcoin to $200k!".
Another screams "Market crash incoming, sell everything!".
Five minutes later, you see a random frog coin pumping 500% and you feel sick because you missed it.
This is called Information Overload, and in 2026, it is the #1 reason why new traders lose money. You aren't losing because you're stupid. You're losing because you are over-stimulated.
I used to follow 500+ accounts. I was anxious, over-trading, and getting rekt. Then I went on an "Information Diet." I unfollowed 450 accounts. My portfolio went up 300% in the next 3 months.
Here is why you need to do the same.
THE PROBLEM: NOISE VS. SIGNAL
In a Bull Run, attention is currency. Influencers get paid to make you feel emotions—specifically Greed and Fear.
The Shill: "Buy $XYZ, next 100x!" (They bought it yesterday and are dumping on you).The Doom-Poster: "Recession is here!" (They want engagement farming).
When you consume this garbage, you stop thinking. You start reacting. And reactive traders are simply liquidity for the pros.
MY NEW RULES FOR FOLLOWING
I only follow 3 types of accounts now. If they don't fit, they get the mute button.
1. The Builders (Developers)
Follow the people actually writing the code.
If I hold Solana ($SOL), I follow the lead devs.They don't post hype. They post GitHub updates.Why: Real growth comes from tech upgrades (like Firedancer), not memes.
2. The On-Chain Sleuths
Follow people who track Wallet Data.
Accounts that post: "Wallet 0x... just moved $50M to Binance."Why: Charts can lie. Blockchain data cannot. If whales are selling, I don't care what the chart says.
3. The Contrarians
Follow 1 or 2 people who disagree with you.
If you are bullish on Ethereum ($ETH), follow a smart bear.Why: You need to escape your echo chamber. If their argument makes sense, maybe it's time to hedge.
THE "SECRET SAUCE": THE 24-HOUR RULE 🤫
Here is the trick that saved me a lot of dollars.
When I see a "hot new coin" on my timeline, I write it down on a piece of paper.
I do not buy it.
I wait 24 hours.
If I still think it's a good idea tomorrow, I buy.
95% of the time, the urge disappears. The FOMO fades, and I realize it was just a pump-and-dump. This simple pause button is your best defense against bad trades.
YOUR ACTION PLAN: THE PURGE
Ready to clean up your feed? Do this right now:
Open your "Following" list. Be ruthless.Unfollow: Anyone who posts "GM/GN" memes every day.Unfollow: Anyone who posts "Who is awake? Drop your $ETH address!" (Engagement bait).Unfollow: Anyone who uses 🚨 emojis more than 3 times a week.Keep: On-chain analysts, official project accounts, and macro-economists.
CONCLUSION
Trading is not about who knows more. It is about who can think clearer.
By removing the noise, you hear the market.
Clear mind = Better decisions = Green PnL.
Stay focused. Stay profitable.
