GM☀️Degens — “Bots vs. Markets: Dead-Internet Theory, Whale Wallets & Discord Politics”

Listen on Spotify • Listen on Apple |

Who’s actually moving markets—and why don’t “whale wallet” alerts always move price? This episode dives into the bot problem warping social sentiment, how that bleeds into the Fear & Greed Index, and the viral “dead-internet” idea that bots outnumber humans on major platforms. We also unpack a trending story about Discord being used like a ballot box—and what it says about digital power.

In this episode

• ​🐋 Whale-watching myths: on-chain buys vs. flat prices—signal or staged narrative?
• ​🤖 Bot farms everywhere: how fake engagement skews sentiment, reach, and even policy decisions.
• ​📈 Fear & Greed with a grain of salt: when social inputs are botted, what can you trust?
• ​🧵 Bot-on-bot arguments & the “dead-internet” theory—are we debating machines?
