I used to be quite superstitious about those "whale/smart money/institution address" tags, just watching and copying trades; now I think more and more that address profiling is just a reference at best, trusting it too blindly can easily lead you astray. To put it simply, a person can have a bunch of addresses, or even use intermediaries, proxy payments, and cross-chain mixing, so what you see as "fund flow" might just be a trick. Recently, cross-chain bridges have had issues again, with a sudden surge of new addresses on-chain doing relay washing, and the tagging system simply can't keep up; and then there are those abnormal price quotes from oracles—once everyone collectively "waits for confirmation," funds will flock in the same direction. You think you're chasing smart money, but really you're chasing emotions. Anyway, now I only ask two things about tags: whether permissions are being recklessly granted, and what the signature pop-up is actually asking you to do. Don’t end up with a "very accurate profile" and an empty wallet at the same time.
