With so many cryptocurrency influencers and experts in the blockchain field, it is challenging to find reliable and trustworthy ones to follow. Here we made a cheat sheet of tips on how to identify reputable cryptocurrency bloggers:

1. Analyze a number of views of an influencer’s posts during the year. Compare the numbers of comments and likes (and other reactions) with the overall volume of subscribers. Ideally, a ⅓ of all account subscribers should somehow engage with the content an influencer posted. When talking about YouTube, the easiest way to check this theory is to look at the views each influencer’s video gets as well as a number and quality of comments. With other social media channels, like Twitter or Instagram, you should pay attention to comments, reactions, shares, and likes.
2. Choose a crypto/blockchain/bitcoin expert that has some experience working or trading in the crypto sphere. It also would be an advantage for an influencer if they have a background in economics, analytics, or finance, depending on the topic of his blog.
3. Read the comments on several videos. Do you get the impression that people are engaged in the topic of the video/post? Is there a lively discussion and positive emotion expressed? If your answer is “YES” - it is a good sign directly pointing at the high quality of the influencer’s content and audience. If the comments don’t look genuine but rather repetitive, there is a high probability that the accounts that have dropped them are not real, and the views are most likely cheated as well. It’s a common practice in the crypto world. 
4. Research an influencer’s connection to scam projects. Well, before you start forming your investment decisions based on an influencer’s opinion, you should do your due diligence on the projects and funds they are associated with. Obviously, it is a big red flag if a crypto influencer has previously been involved with any fraudulent activity or project that failed to launch a product, list their token, and so on.
5. Check their network. Look for influencers that have connections with other influential figures but with excellent reputation. Analyze opinion leaders and companies that are subscribed to these influencers if there are any. Answer the following questions: What famous people do they work and have partnerships with? Have some influential figures worked or collaborated with them previously?
