Fake projects hitting 200k market cap. Influencers hyping them up. Retail getting wiped out. This cycle keeps repeating.
2026 is shaping up to be another year where hype machines and questionable marketing dominate. The infrastructure for scams just keeps getting smoother, while the average trader keeps getting caught off guard.
It's not rocket science—when money flows into narratives rather than fundamentals, the people feeding the hype win. Everyone else? They're playing a different game.
Stay skeptical, do your research, and remember: if the story sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Bro, you're not wrong, but those who are meant to be cut will still be cut because greed can't be cured.

NGL, it's always the same trick. It's really outrageous how a project with a 200,000 market cap can scam so many people's money.
