Crucial Scam Alert from SHIB Team as Price Rises
Lucie, the official marketing lead for the Shiba Inu team, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to warn the SHIB community about the rising number of crypto scammers as SHIB's price surged by 12.5% in just one day.
Lucie’s Scam Warning to SHIB Army
In her post, Lucie cautioned that the crypto space is rife with scammers pretending to be legitimate. These fraudsters manipulate the truth and apply emotional pressure to crypto holders, making them feel like they’re missing out on "the next big opportunity." According to Lucie, these scammers often promote "Pump & Dump" schemes and other deceptive projects. She urged the SHIB community to remain smart and avoid being lured by false promises. While it's natural to want to profit, she emphasized that true wealth is built through patience and holding long-term, not by chasing FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
SHIB Team’s Test for Genuine Adoption
Another post from the SHIB team’s @susbarium account discussed an "adoption test" to help differentiate between projects that genuinely add value to the crypto ecosystem and those that simply drain liquidity. Projects that contribute real value are those that build sustainable ecosystems, generate liquidity, and provide long-term benefits for users. These projects foster crypto adoption and enhance the community.
On the other hand, projects that drain liquidity are those that exploit hype for short-term gains, often disappearing after extracting funds without offering any real solutions. These projects ultimately weaken their ecosystems.
Caution on Meme Coins
The message also touched on meme coins, which can bring engagement and community spirit but often attract opportunists who offer little value. @susbarium emphasized the importance of balancing fun with real utility when evaluating projects, advising users to ask, "Is this adding value, or just taking resources?"
In summary, both Lucie and @susbarium reminded the community to stay vigilant, prioritize genuine value, and avoid getting caught up in scams that exploit the excitement of rising prices.
