"3 Signs a Coin Might Be a Scam (From My Mistakes) "
Have you ever bought a coin that seemed promising, only to see it crash overnight? 😩 That happened to me—more than once. At the beginning of my crypto journey, I was so excited about “the next big thing” that I ignored all the red flags. What I learned the hard way could save you time, money, and stress. So here are 3 signs I personally experienced that might tell you a coin is a scam.
Body
1. The Team is Hidden or Anonymous 👻
One of the first coins I lost money on had a website that looked great—but I couldn’t find any real info about the team behind it. No LinkedIn profiles. No past projects. Nothing. I ignored that and trusted the hype. Big mistake. A legit project should have a transparent team. If they’re hiding, they probably have something to hide.
2. The Community is Full of Hype, Not Questions 🚩
In the Telegram group of another coin I invested in, everyone kept saying “To the moon!” and “Get in now or regret later!” 😬 I noticed that anyone who asked questions got ignored—or even banned. Looking back, that was a clear red flag. A real project encourages discussion, not blind hype.
3. Promises of Unrealistic Profits 🤑
One token I bought promised 10x returns in just a few days. They even showed charts and testimonials. I was tempted and bought in fast. Within a week, the devs “disappeared,” and the token was worthless. Lesson learned: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Conclusion
Crypto is full of amazing opportunities—but also dangerous traps. I’m not writing this to scare you, but to share real lessons from my own mistakes. Always do your own research (DYOR), and trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is.
