Some projects have an opening market cap that's basically a bottomless pit—once you're in, don't expect to get out.

Honestly, what's scarier than those blatantly fake projects is the project's intent to fleece people—the tech can be flashy, the narrative compelling, but at the core, they're just figuring out how to empty retail investors' pockets.

After seeing so many of these traps, I really urge everyone to keep their eyes open and not jump in easily. Teams that are good at market cap manipulation usually leave nothing but a mess in the end.
