GM,

I woke up and realized I got rug pulled. 2 ETH gone.

It wasn’t a typical scam, the project had a working product, a public team, even VC backing. But they still pulled the plug.

Hard to accept, but maybe this is a signal:

▸ We're entering a new phase of the market – not just price downtrend, but a trust downtrend.

▸ When sentiment weakens, even teams that played fair may choose shortcuts.

▸ In low-liquidity markets, a few ETH is enough to make a “doxxed” team disappear.

We used to categorize projects as “anon vs doxxed”, “real product vs vaporware”

→ But in a downtrend, ethical boundaries break faster than financial pressure.

Be cautious:

▫️ Being doxxed is no longer a safety badge

▫️ A working product is no longer proof of integrity

▫️ Human psychology is now the biggest risk factor
