the reality of rugs<br />

They've been occurring more often, and as a community we're always looking<br />

to point the finger in the crosshairs are: launchpads project owner’s influencers<br />

launchpads are perceived to be the first line of defence when they've launched<br />

said rugged projects, however what is an ID/KYC going to really do, fake IDs<br />

still exist, how the hell you going to confirm someone's KYC - all it is, is an extra<br />

hoop to jump through, an extra box to tick..<br />

outside of engaging an escrow service, or holding royalties, there's not much<br />

more launchpads can do to hold these projects accountable<br />

project owners are the ones we should really be trying to hold accountable,<br />

here's where you as a discord member can do your due diligence, this means<br />

nit-picking their comms, how often are their announcements coming, has this<br />

'meta' been overdone, have they sparked any suspicion<br />

but at the same time, project owners can hide behind a veil of anonymity as is<br />

their right, it comes down to you, what is your level of risk tolerance, have you<br />

clearly defined the boxes that you must have ticked? and those that simple<br />

cannot be unticked?<br />

influencers, how many times have you seen on the timeline 'oh you shilled this<br />

project/you're pumping your bags' and this has resulted in MY losses. tbf if<br />

you're banking your buys and sells off what influencers are doing, then your risk<br />

tolerance is high imo.<br />

it tells me, you're lazy, you haven't put the time and effort in to learn and<br />

understand the game and not just how it works, but you don't really care about<br />

your money/investment enough to do your own research<br />

what I’m trying to say is, maybe it's time to stop pointing the finger at everything<br />

else, to some extent, rugs and scams are a part of all financial markets, just<br />

look at equities markets, it's time to look within, ask yourself what can do to<br />

protect yourself<br />

put yourself in the crosshairs and level up<br />
