6 months ago I had no idea what Crypto is. Now I have $36,000 in BTC and ETH. I still have no idea what Crypto is. But I have a big hunch. I also need to see a chiropractor

Squid game was lol. Litecoin was almost one as the creator told the litecoin community that the price was about to pump then the same day he sold 100% of his LTC holdings and a few days later the price dumped.

[@OwenRhodri]

In defence of LTC whilst the creator deffo took some profit so that he could live the rest of his life in luxury a lot was also given to the LTC foundation. If it wasn't for this move though LTC would prob be consistently in the top 8 as it has both works well as a store-of-value and has great usage.

[@secondstartotheright]

@@OwenRhodri he created the "foundation" to not only doge taxes but also stay out of jail. If he did not create the foundation then LTC would have been a security and that would have been illegal to sell it.

Like the Housing Market collapse and the banking financials meltdown. The sad thing about the crypto rug pull is that it is very minimal in terms of ripple effect.

I really find your video informative. But I find myself with some serious questions at the end of a lot of them.. I know it’s not your job to tells us everything but things like how long should you leave your coin in or how can you stay on top of a falling value so as not to liquidated but other than that great videos and thank you for the help and it’s been a big help thank you thank you

If you want to know what a pump and dump is read up on what Frazier Kay did to his fans with his “save the kids token”. You really should have explained how the presale works and how changing the whale code works.

Man! I dont think i saw a vid that explained like this! Thanks. By the way, this shows thay we need projects like quantstamp for smart contracts auditing.. Wyt?

[@WhiteboardCrypto]

Yes, auditors play a big role in make sure a project is safe for investors but remember to always do your own research as we've seen projects rug pulled even after an audit.

[@arleygonzalez6659]

This was an amazing video. Thanks to God I’ve not been rug pulled yet. But I could of easily been. I haven’t check much of it.😢

[@nikbinaz]

Hey man, love your videos! I have one suggestion and please don't take it the wrong way. Thre vignette effect in the corners is kind of distracting in my opinion. Could you dial it down a bit? Otherwise, top notch videos. 🤌🏻

[@greeny5155]

Floki Inu coin got rug pulled twice back during summer. The first one was the inability to sell and then the second time it was a liquidity pull.

How about soft rugpull like CB?

[@underdogg8240]

Just so I understand this correct - Burning sends tokens to an address that noone has access to - what about the person or network sending the tokens? Don´t they technically have the address to where the tokens are sent? Just a thought (still new to the crypto world)

[@ririririri9339]

no rugpull will ever happen with that. it has lost its peak already.

[@shadowgun4717]

Nice video i would like to review mao token

[@blau98798]

If a rug pull were to happen in a certain project, what happens to the stablecoin pool (eg USDC-USDT) in that farm? From my understanding, a rug pull affects the token native to that project. But what about other pools? Very new to this and would appreciate some clarity. Thanks!

[@WhiteboardCrypto]

If possible, you can just withdrawal your USDC and USDT... Usually earnings are paid in the farm token, meaning you won't get any yields, but at least your collateral is safe

[@blau98798]

@@WhiteboardCrypto Ohh you don't get paid in USDC or USDT? But in the native token?

[@frankhungch]

@@blau98798 dépends on project. So in othet words, if you see a farm that promises absurd yeild like 90% APR, but only available in the native useless shit token, thats usually a red flag.

[@RdozeTV]

There are some new NFT games today that are community based and there are no shares from the developers or team. Also no pre-selling can you do a research about it? The half of supply is on burn address and looks like totally unruggable

[@ririririri9339]

how do i know how long the liquidity pool is locked?

What do you think of anonymous developers? Could they be known developers who don’t want the public to know they are associated with a new project for fear it would effect the credibility of another project?

[@Creed12able1]

Example are PVU - Plant vs Undead so many invest that game and within 2 months the tokens goes down.

[@royrex]

Kasta is a perfect example.

[@philo441]

4th. They only allow buyers to sell a very small portion only once. Then new investors will also test the water, then fall into a sink hole when they invest more.

[@SnowCrust]

so can they be sue for scamming?

Is Dogelonmars a rugpull? Since it limits or not allow you to sell your coin that you bought?
