In the crypto world, the biggest fear is stepping into a pitfall. Today, let's talk about those common altcoin eyewaash schemes to help you avoid detours.



First, be wary of projects that claim to be "hundredfold coins" and frequently have celebrities endorsing them. These types of coins often have hidden tricks in their contracts—transaction fees that are outrageous, or they simply cannot be sold. What seems like a chance to make a fortune is actually just a trap.

The Ponzi scheme is even more obvious. Promising annual returns of dozens or even hundreds of percent? Where in the world can you find such good deals? How do they maintain it? By recruiting new members and giving commissions, using the money from new investors to pay old investors' returns. Once the excitement diminishes, withdrawals become difficult, and in the end, it all disappears.

The last iron rule: Coins that can be issued in ten minutes or obscure small coins are best avoided. They have poor liquidity, high risk, and are easily subject to dumping. Rather than betting on a hundred times return, it is better to steadily allocate to mainstream coins.

Another article warning people not to fall into traps. It's not wrong, but it's a bit cliché. I just want to ask, are those who got scammed unaware of such articles, or do they just love to jump into the fire pit?

The 100x coin trap has deceived so many people, really, I have friends who lost everything. --- The funding scheme is the worst, when they say annualized returns of hundreds of percent, I just block them, it's not worth it. --- Speaking of celebrity-endorsed projects... just look at how many of those "star endorsements" haven't flipped, it cracks me up. --- Coins with poor liquidity can't be sold at all, this is a bloody lesson. --- Can you issue coin in ten minutes? That's a direct sign of a rug pull, learned that. --- Instead of chasing after 100x, it's better to copy Bitcoin, although it's not as exciting, at least I can sleep. --- Hiding tricks in contracts is too ruthless, some fees go straight to 80%, outrageous. --- Newbies are most easily brainwashed by "promised returns", it's just a game of hot potato. --- I now adhere to one rule: only coins that can be withdrawn are real coins, don't mess around with the others. --- Mainstream tokens are stable although slow, but at least they won't go to zero overnight, that's enough.
