IN THIS LESSON

Pump and Dumps

  • Groups on X or Telegram hype a coin to lure buyers, then sell at the peak, leaving newbies with losses.

  • Example: A coin jumps 500% in an hour, then drops 90%—classic pump-and-dump.

  • Clue: Sudden X chatter with no real news, or “shilling” by sketchy accounts.

  • Protect Yourself: Don’t chase crazy spikes—wait for stability or skip it.

  • Bottom line: Hype trains derail fast—don’t be the last one on board.
