Unpopular opinion maybe, but this is something I’m building towards in this space.
Traders online are mostly judged by what they choose to post. If someone posts a few good entries, a green month or a big win, people naturally start to think they know what they’re doing.
Maybe they do, but you can’t really know from that alone because you’re only seeing what made it onto the feed.
The part that feels missing in crypto is the full record. Not just the good trades, not just the clean screenshots, but enough history at a glance to understand whether someone is actually consistent over time.
Even the best traders aren’t profitable all the time, and I don’t think losses should be held against people, losses are part of trading. But if someone is building a reputation as a trader then surely their record should matter more than their content.
I get why people hesitate to share performance publicly. It’s vulnerable, and the audience can be ruthless although I think in the years to come, being taken seriously as a trader will require more than follower count, marketing, and good content.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I think proof of performance will become one of the strongest ways to build reputation as a trader. Good or bad, at least it’s honest and I think that is going to matter a lot.
Do you have any views towards this?
