Hype is a sales pitch, not proof. The skill is telling manufactured hype from a genuine community.

- arrow_rightFake hype — bought followers, bot comments, paid "callers," recycled engagement. Vanishes the moment the dump starts.
- arrow_rightPaid callers / KOLs — influencers paid to shill a coin to their audience as the exit liquidity.
