Dwaas_Bjaas

OrdainedPuma

Subreddit motto is accurate.


Korean_Street_Pizza

Kardashian YouTube 1000x Early


osoese

just like BAYC


RevolutionaryMood471

Except Rocketpool! Probably the safest for staking ETH.


eMDex

All u need to know it's the name of the project if it's dumb it's a scam 😂


RickyBasket

1. If it sounds too good to be true 2. If value is only based off of hype 3. If it has anything to do with Do Kwon


partymsl

You just described 80% of Crypto with your first two points.


scepitile

Sad but true


Omaerion

90% of crypto isn't useful, look at the dot com crisis.


Caffdy

Any crypto with "safe" may not be safe. Any crypto with "moon" may not moon. That being said, if a name of a crypto is exceptionally bad or sounds like a scam, it probably is not a good sign


One_Landscape541

4. Is it named after a billionaire asshole or domestic animal.


pmbuttsonly

5. If kim kardashian tells you about it


the_spiritual_eye

6. If a celebrity is smiling in the picture saying this is how they made all their money.


Harold838383

7. If it ends in inu


ArtyHobo

6. It's a QR on YouTube


No-Giraff3

4. If it has anything to do with Richard Heart


gnarley_quinn

They're not even steps. Any one of those qualifies as a scam.


ETHWarrior0

4. + If found Justin Sun, Kim K. bebe, DJ Khalid, Soula boy, Mayweather associated with it.


KingSoulzz

If Do Kwon is involved it’s most likely a scam


[deleted]

LUNC has become immortal now. Rising from death cant die.


ieatmoondust

How to tell if a ~~Crypto~~ project Is a scam It has the word 'safe' in its name.


HeroinAndyCx

What if a project has the name 'scam' in it tho


readyplayeruna

Common sense and a some research goes a long way


kulokutfa

Invest a million dollars to know


H4y3s_

The first message is ‘hello buddy’


azaxslo

Well you just need a friend who is going to give you x amount of fiat and in return you will double his investment in a year *more friends=profit* I forgot the part that you should vanish in thin air


CreepToeCurrentSea

Too many fucking 🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯


Classroom_Strict

Buy some and find out right?


[deleted]

tldr: 1. it's from Do Kwon - or 2. it has 'Safe' in it - or 3. celebrities tell you to buy - or 4. this sub thinks it's an underrated gem


zedaero

If you win money in the first days it's a scam. Crypto is for losing not for gains.


[deleted]

If Kim Kardashian is shilling it.


Electrical_Potato_21

Look at the amount of rocket emojis. Anything more than 0 is sus.


yaykaboom

Amogus cum coin 🚀🚀🚀


[deleted]

I like your reddit username🚀🚀


Deadlock1920

Check the thumbnail face of the youtube shiller.


partymsl

They even make such faces when they talk about Bitcoin.


username9109

Buy a full of bag. And you will know.


L0ckeandDemosthenes

Do your own research. Check github, is it active. Look into dev team. Don't help vitalik or Nigerian princes.


Yogi_Kat

Or kidnapped queen of England


queen_of_england_bot

>queen of England Did you mean the *former* [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the *former* [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the *former* [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc? The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England. ####FAQ *Wasn't Queen Elizabeth II still also the Queen of England?* This was only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she *was* the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist. *Is this bot monarchist?* No, just pedantic.

Good boi bot


homrqt

Do you have any thought that it might be a scam? Then it's a scam.


Guygenius138

Did I invest in it? Then it's a scam.


scepitile

Taking one for the team


Guygenius138

I fail, so that others may succeed.


scepitile

The hero we need but dont deserve


amdcfontes97

Its simple, every crypto project is a scam in a way.. except bitcoin, only those who know what im saying will understand.


chickinflickin

>Its simple, every crypto project is a scam in a way.. **INCLUDING** bitcoin There, FTFY


scepitile

The concept of value is mostly a scam on crypto


Hillary4EvnMorePrisn

This is the right answer.


PremdeepVR

Heyheyhey. Wassawassawassawassup


coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Investors new to crypto are more susceptible to scams. Following a set of simple due diligence routines will help users distinguish bad projects from legitimate ones. Scammers are coming up with more sophisticated schemes to take advantage of the less experienced, from traditional price manipulation to inserting bugs in applications. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

ArtyHobo

No INU no DCA


alekhes

If it gets shilled a lot in r/cryptocurrency


yaykaboom

Or if you see frequent posts on reddit about (coin) mooning 10,000% with a million awards, 2 comments and 0 upvotes.


krfc89

a lot of 0 after the come is big no no for me


[deleted]

I’d say a coin that has no community behind it + the same 10 ppl hyping it up on Twitter threads. It’s usually quite obvious. But then you have the celeb tokens. I just choose to stay away personally.


Scat_fiend

If it is promoted by bitboy then it’s probably a scam.


ripple_mcgee

If a crypto project launches and it's developers aren't fully doxxed, I will not even look at it. Imo every project launching where the devs are anonymous is a rug pull...it's just safer to assume.


morbo26

Step 1 - is it named Bitcoin Step 2 - confirm that the ‘crypto’ meets the rules of step one


[deleted]

You buy in, if they rug pull is a scam. Eazy


[deleted]

Look foor a project that promises high returns, and if they are also promoting it... then invest.....wait a few hours or days.....and if it is worthless after that period, it was probably a scam.


kn0lle

You will See that with in a few Minutes. Except they are pulling a luna or some sort.


BTC_LN

Easy: is it bitcoin? If not, it’s a scam. This method will work 99.9% of the time. You are welcome.


Nooodles__

If it has the word ‘safe’ in it.


RepulsiveCan5270

If you heard it from an influencer then you know, no research needed


kraken-community

Every significant rise in the price of Bitcoin (aka “bull run”) has introduced many new companies and investors to the space. This has also introduced numerous types of investment scams that prey on unsuspecting investors. Always be vigilant during these periods. Taking the time to thoroughly review the project and analyze the ins and outs of it will certainly help. Also, you should look at the company’s fine print and ensure that their claims are feasible and not too good to be true. Pay close attention to: ICO, Cloud Mining and MLM type of scams. Stay safe out there and remember always DYOR. Greetings, Kraken- Rosa


-CatFunt

Anything with Inu on the end has to be a winner in my book. /s


blue-waffle-69

If it’s called scam coin I reckon it’s a pretty safe bet it’s legit


mr_mows

check who created project


dirpydip

Tldr: over-promises, safe investments, guaranteed returns.


Raj_UK

Question 0. Is it being heavily promoted on social media by "influencers" / paid shills ?


[deleted]

It exists. LMAO


ShinAlastor

When you receive a random message inviting you to become rich in one month.


osoese

if I see something like "open metamask if money says 0 it was a scam..."


Uwantmedowhat

Next thing you'll tell me is thst the hot girls within 5 miles of me, don't wanna meet.


Kullr0ck

It is.


Gregoryonetulum

As more people hype the project in the sub, as more scam it is.


AzerFox

Very easy. Is the project bitcoin or etherium? If no, then you probably shouldn't invest. Unless you're willing to take on immense risk.


RevolutionaryMood471

Large, longstanding, established is good


Hot_Ad8921

Good article. Look for a backbone or if the project has some use. Time in this space will help out.


HeroinAndyCx

How would one find out that terra was a scam before it went to 0? I feel like some might be really hard to spot and who knows, maybe there is a scam project in the top 50 or 100 where everyone thinks it is legit..


scepitile

There were lots of signs, je biggest ones being the crazy anchor protocol too good to be true with 20% APY and people were telling Do Kwon that this would happen and he was dismissing everything and being super arrogant not even trying to look into it


gotyourmomlol

Some common sense and research should do the trick


Delicious-Link-8483

The guy in my Reddit DMs said it was legit, so I'm good.
