There is directly following them.. I noticed the same thing with Brian Kelly (black dude on youtube).. directly following or during his "live stream" as soon as he would say "abc coin" price would bump, I saw it with Golem, Bitcoin Dark, Nubits, and a few others as soon as he called them.. So there is financial incentive to be a TA, get a big following then get the Lemmings to jump on board after you so you can sell into their idiocy. Then you can use the fact that they pumped the price on your recommendation as evidence you were right that price would go up..

That completely makes sense..... but surely any lemmings following Haejin would be broke by now?

Nah, some get out in time.. or blame themselves and keep following.. and new blood keeps coming in, plus the hype outweighs the detractors.. so even those that do lose will not have the voice to warn others and will be attacked by his minions..
