The official marketing leader of the Shiba Inu group known by her pseudonym Lucie posted a post on her X account to address the SHIB army about crypto scammers in the community. This comes as the price of SHIB has grown by 12.5% over the past day.
Lucie's Scam Alert to SHIB Army
SHIB’s marketing team leader reminded the community that “cryptocurrency is rife with scammers in sheep’s clothing.” They “distort reality and manipulate basic facts,” she said. Lucie explained how scammers operate: They emotionally pressure cryptocurrency holders into thinking they’re “missing out on the next big thing.” However, all they promote, Lucie said, are “random scams and pump & dump schemes.”
SHIB's marketing team leader urged the Shiba Inu community to be smart and not let anyone lure them "into false promises or shady projects." She tweeted that it was completely understandable and natural for investors to be eager to make money. However, she concluded that "Wealth is built through persistence and patience, not through FOMO."
Cryptocurrency adoption test from SHIB group
Another X account associated with the SHIB group, @susbarium, posted a tweet talking about the adoption test that helps differentiate between crypto projects that bring real value and those that just drain liquidity.
According to the post, value-added projects help spread real cryptocurrency adoption. They build liquidity and create sustainable ecosystems, “empowering users with solutions that enhance the broader community.” Ultimately, these crypto projects help create long-term growth and strengthen their ecosystems.
As for liquidity-draining projects, they are those that capitalize on the hype, “cash out without delivering tangible benefits and often disappear.” Ultimately, they leave their ecosystems weaker than before.
The warning that this tweet contains is about meme coins that “can foster engagement and community spirit” but at the same time bring opportunists to the project that contribute little to no value. @susbarium believes that it is important to strike a fine balance between fun and real utility, and to evaluate projects very carefully. “Always ask yourself: does it add value or just take away resources?” the tweet urges users.
