“Suspicious DM”I received a DM from @eliasselborg (sent on Kenzi's behalf) asking to join a podcast. Kenzi and I then exchanged DMs after I reached out directly to Kenzi to confirm what was occurring. Received Calendly invite to a call from a legit link. But night before call, I came to check Ethos profile and see two prior reviews given. Based on those reviews, I ain't joining the call.

“A transparent source of signal”I was lucky enough to get connected with Johannes through a mutual friend and realization we were both active in a few projects together, Ethos included. Johannes' reputation precedes him. He cuts through noise and identifies real opportunity, both as a farmer and trader. Most important, he has actual skin in the game. He doesn't dump on followers, but instead educates and informs. If you want to actually grow, both as an investor and participant, follow this man.

“Promoted Rug with Weak Disclosure”He promoted a rug (bsketballdotfun) to his community. On top of this, the paid promotion disclosure was about as weak as it gets (“happy to have linked up with them”) Paid promotions disclosures need to be clear and obvious. This is not that. Would not ape into anything they promote. More is expected from someone with such a high score. Goes to show that a high Ethos score doesn’t automatically mean credible.

“A True Degen”We may not like him, but Portnoy is a true representative of what most degens aspire to be in the shitcoin casino. He simply took the game to its logical extreme. If someone shows me the receipts of him saying he wouldn't dump and then does, I'll withdraw. Until that proof is shown, he simply is a super degen.
