the biggest mistake social trading apps might be making is assuming the ppl with the most influence are the ppl worth listening to some of the most profitable traders in my GCs barely even use twitter.. they’re busy making money, not trying to become influencers lol yet so much of discovery revolves around followers, callouts and whoever can generate the most attention and theres a pretty obvious contradiction here some of the best traders dont need callout fees, so why are we building algorithms around the ppl most willing to promote their trades instead of the ppl actually good at making them? we’re still in the early innings of social trading and i have a feeling whoever figures out the best social graph and discovery algo is gonna win this whole thing we have an entire blockchain showing what ppl buy, the market caps they enter at, how long they hold and where they consistently make or lose money why not use that data to build a social graph where reputation is earned through performance instead of popularity? rank traders by their 7 and 30 day results, accounting for risk and consistency, then use the algo to connect ppl with those who’ve demonstrated an edge in similar markets maybe ur good at finding established memes early but keep roundtripping winners.. instead of another callout, the algo finds traders with similar entries who actually know how to take profits and i still think sharing a thesis matters.. but it should explain the trade, not determine whether someone deserves attention now some random anon quietly printing can become one of the most valuable ppl in the network without ever writing a callout and as more of these traders get discovered, the social graph becomes a map of who’s good at what, who they learn from and which communities consistently find opportunities everyone wants more $100m coins to bring the trenches back and i agree.. but we’re so focused on creating bigger winners that nobody seems to be asking how we create better traders if the algo can help ppl find their edge, learn from better traders and stop repeating the same mistakes, u create more potential winners, more success stories and more reasons to stay in the market and as AI agents become more involved, that same graph of trading behavior, strategies and outcomes becomes the intelligence layer for an entirely new class of traders the real moat isn’t knowing who’s popular.. it’s knowing who’s actually good at what and getting that information in front of the ppl who need it whoever figures that out might end up building something a whole lot bigger than another trading app - Baton corp
