🎈 The case of #HBG (Happy Balloon Dog): an inflated scam with a breeze of euphoria🎈

For weeks, the #criptomoneda $HBG (Happy Balloon Dog) exhibited behavior that, to trained eyes, screamed manipulation. Its price grew steadily and almost mathematically every day, with repetitive green candles and suspiciously similar percentage increases. There were no news, no technical advancements, no partnerships to justify that rally. Just hype, bots, and #FOMO .

📈 What made it so suspicious?
- Sustained and constant daily growth: a typical pattern of liquidity bots or wash trading.
- Viral and superficial narrative: "tap-to-earn" with meme aesthetics, no technical whitepaper or visible team.
- Centralized distribution: over 70% of the supply in a few wallets, many created days before the pump.
- Inflated volume on MEXC, an exchange known for listing tokens without rigorous auditing.
- Contract showing signs of honeypot: according to ApeSpace, it had a 100% sell tax, which prevented most users from selling.

💥 The outcome was terrible: from a maximum of $76.24, it fell to less than $0.007 in a matter of hours. A collapse of 99.99%, leaving thousands of investors who came late to the game trapped.

This case is a reminder that constant growth in crypto is rarely natural. When everything seems too perfect at first, it is probably a scam; sell after a margin as a target. And if later you can't sell… you were never the investor, you were the liquidity.🔥.
