The previous round was a whole series of drama involving Johnny Đặng. Khoa had publicly said he spent $100K buying DBZ tokens. After that, the two sides went at it in a big fight—one that anyone in crypto from 2021 probably still remembers.

For those who don’t know, back then there were people who scrutinized on-chain data and claimed that a wallet related to Khoa Pug once spent over $500K buying BabyDoge. Then there was also information that he made over $700K from Diamond Coin. I’m only keeping these figures as community-retrieved info; whether Khoa’s actual wallet and his exact profit/loss were truly that amount hasn’t been clearly confirmed.

But Khoa is smart in the sense that, from way back, he’s always been pretty good at covering his retreat when talking about money. And you’ve got to admit, this guy’s content-making thinking is genuinely sharp. He knows what viewers want to watch, knows how to build a story, and knows when to flex and when to play the underdog.

His travel videos and reviews are compelling—that’s not something that happens randomly just because someone’s been doing YouTube for so many years and still keeps millions of followers.

Straight up: this guy has the knowledge and the mindset. It’s not just him picking up a camera and eating somewhere to review it. He deserves the credit.
