The crypto space is vast, so vast that you think you’ve found gold;

The crypto space is also small, small enough that one wrong transfer can restart your life.

Today we won't talk about making money, only about how to avoid being scammed.

Because in this circle, 'not losing money' is itself a form of profit.


1️⃣ Airdrop scam: Free is the most expensive.

'Scan to follow and get 10 $ETH ', 'Fill out the form to receive $BLUR airdrop', 'Your address meets the reward criteria'...

Don't get excited.

Most of these airdrops will lure you:

  • Authorize wallet signature (directly emptied).

  • Join fishing groups (scammers collectively fooling).

  • Click into phishing sites (identical page, one click and stolen).

📌 Remember: official airdrops are usually only announced on the official website and official Twitter, and they won't actively seek you out.

2️⃣ Imitation project scam: Copy and paste, then a wild hype.

You see a MEME called 'PEPEZILLA', the image looks almost identical to PEPE, and the community is hyping it up, claiming to replicate the hundredfold myth.

You are tempted and jump in.

But you don't know, these imitation projects have no team, no project, and no technology.

The only thing they can do is pump to attract new investors, then offload at the floor.

📌 Remember: The shell of a hot topic is easy to trap; the soul of a project cannot be copied.

3️⃣ Signature authorization scam: One-click 'self-destruct' wallet.

One of the most popular phishing methods now is to lure you into 'signature login'.

You think it’s just a wallet connection,

but it actually allows you to authorize unlimited transfer limits,

Then your wallet becomes their ATM.

📌 Remember: If you don't understand the content, don't sign. Transaction signature ≠ login signature. The website that can check authorization records is called revoke.cash, write it down.




4️⃣ Project exit scam: Launched today, vanished tomorrow.

A certain project made it to the Binance Square hot list, a name you've never heard of, a white paper that looks like it was written by GPT, tweeting 20 times a day, always 'launching soon'...

Then on the day of launch, it peaked, the next day the community exploded, and by the third day, Twitter was cleared, on-chain addresses turned into 'the last goodbye'.

📌 Remember: projects that you can see people, hear voices, and check on-chain data are worth considering. Just painting a picture and promoting means it's just a 'barbecue stall'.




5️⃣ Internal pump and dump scam: The script is written, just waiting for you to enter.

Some 'crypto gods' call out trades every day, pulling you into projects, saying things like 'going to the exchange soon', 'xx fund invested', 'big players are entering'...

In fact, they had already bought their bottom positions long ago.

Once you rush in, you become the bag holder for their sell-off.

📌 Remember: The more internal the news and the lower the barriers, the more likely it is fake.

Real insider trading, no one tells you, just buy directly.

Summary: Not seeking to get rich quickly, but to stay awake.

  • If you don't understand it, don't invest.

  • Not reading the white paper = giving away money.

  • Be cautious with wallet authorizations.

  • Anything that makes you 'rush in' deserves more thought.

After all, only those who survive in the crypto space are qualified to talk about the 'next round'.
