What if your favorite cryptocurrency is a disguised rug pull?
The silent scam that no one wants to see (until it’s too late)
Every day new projects are born in the crypto world.
New promises, new communities... and new rug pulls.
But why do we keep falling for them over and over? How is it that thousands of users lose their savings in projects that, in retrospect, were clearly scams?
🚨 What is a Rug Pull?
A rug pull is when the developers of a crypto project suddenly abandon the project and take the investors' funds with them.
Without warning, without returning anything.
Boom, they disappear.
Some do it in days.
Others, after months of building trust.
Why do they happen so often?
FOMO (fear of missing out): We see others winning and jump in without researching.
Exaggerated promises: "2% daily", "x100 in a week", "the next Bitcoin".
Unfounded marketing: Influencers, Telegram groups, and giveaways that only serve to attract more victims.
Lack of regulation and oversight: In the crypto world, there is still plenty of space for opportunists.
How to detect them in time?
Don't be swayed solely by the community or the hype.
Research the team (if it’s anonymous, alert!).
Check the code, the whitepaper, and the token distribution.
Use tools like TokenSniffer or Dextools.
Stay away from "guaranteed returns" and unrealistic promises.
