Scams like $SWIF are pure psychology.

And I’m not just talking about creating FOMO it’s the entire setup of these garbage accounts.

How they operate, what they post, all proven techniques to farm followers and drain them when the time comes.

This is an entire — and extremely profitable — industry.

Often it’s the same people behind the big accounts, or cooperating groups, whose only purpose is to create FOMO and then rug you.

We’re talking millions upon millions of dollars.

Believe it or not, we’ve also been approached and “invited” by people who offered to put 30+ SOL into $MASTR but only if we did what they told us to do.
We politely declined.

Through research, we later found out exactly who was behind it.

I can smell from 100 miles away which accounts are here to farm/ rug followers, now or later.

Stay away from the “Give me the next ticker”, “I hate rugs”, “What’s the ticker”, “Giveaways”, #Altcoinseason" fake Photoshopped wallets with huge amounts of money, Ferraris, Lambos, and all that crap.

It’s not even necessarily tailored to what people fall for most, it’s also about what pushes you further in the scammy X algorithm.

Be smarter. Unfollow and block these clowns.

Sadly, we’re not big enough yet to reach enough people and we refuse to use the shady techniques mentioned above.
But we’ll get there.

Thanks to everyone pushing the algo and liking and retweeting our posts.
