🔥 Crypto Myth: “Token Burn = Guaranteed Price Pump” 🚫

You might’ve heard people say:

“They’re burning tokens! Price will skyrocket now!”

But let’s understand what actually happens 👇

🔍 What is Token Burn?

It simply means permanently removing some coins from circulation (usually sent to a dead wallet).

🧠 Logic:
Supply ↓ → Price ↑ (if demand stays same or increases)

But in real life, it's not that simple.

💣 Truth: Token burns don't guarantee price pumps.

Why?

🔹 If demand is low, even a burn won’t help.
🔹 Some burns are just marketing gimmicks.
🔹 Large supply and weak fundamentals = no real impact.

📉 Many projects burn tokens just to hype, but the price still crashes later due to poor project quality.

What really drives price?
🔸 Strong utility
🔸 Real-world adoption
🔸 Developer activity
🔸 Active user base
🔸 Market sentiment

📌 Lesson: Don’t blindly FOMO into coins just because they announce a "burn event".

Do your research. A burn is only good if the project is solid.

💀 Rugpull Alert: The Squid Game Token Scam 🦑

Back in 2021, a crypto token named SQUID launched—riding the hype of the Netflix series Squid Game.

The project went viral. Major media outlets picked it up.

The price exploded from a few dollars to $2,800+ in no time.

🚨 But here's the twist...

When investors tried to sell their tokens, they were blocked.

Just like that — the devs vanished, the website was gone, socials deleted.

Over $3 million was stolen in what became one of the most talked-about rugpulls in crypto history.

🎯 What You Should Learn:

Just because a coin is trending doesn’t mean it’s safe.

The SQUID token had zero connection to Netflix. It was pure hype, no substance.

Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research) — don’t follow the crowd blindly.

🔐 How To Stay Safe in Crypto:

Avoid FOMO. If it’s pumping too fast, that’s a red flag.

Check if the token is verified on CoinMarketCap / CoinGecko.

Don’t invest in tokens that restrict selling or lack liquidity transparency.

If it sounds too good to be true... it usually is.


📌 Let this be your reminder: In crypto, hype can make you rich — but it can also wreck you.

🚨 Crypto Myth: “A Coin Listed on a Big Exchange = Safe & Profitable Investment” ❌

Many new investors believe:
“Yeh token ab Binance, Coinbase, or KuCoin pe list ho gaya… ab toh confirm moon 🚀!”

But let’s reveal some hard-hitting truths with examples 👇

🔍 Truth: Listing ≠ Strong Fundamentals

Many coins pump at the time of listing, but dump hard afterward.

📉 Examples (Check the charts):

1️⃣ Internet Computer (ICP)
🔹 Listed on Coinbase & Binance in May 2021
🔹 All-time high: ~$700
🔻 Now: ~$4.8
👉 Lost over 99% value
👉 Hype + no real adoption = crash

2️⃣ Terra (LUNA Classic)
🔹 Was listed on all top exchanges
🔹 Market cap was $40B+ at peak
🔻 Crashed to near zero in May 2022
👉 Due to UST depeg & flawed stablecoin model

3️⃣ AMP (on Coinbase)
🔹 Listed with much hype in 2021
🔻 Now down ~95%+ from ATH
👉 Project failed to gain adoption

4️⃣ SafeMoon (CEX listings: BitMart, Gate.io)
🔻 From hype to collapse.
👉 Dev wallet drama, liquidity trap, no use-case

🧠 Key Lesson for You:

Exchange listing can bring short-term pump

❌ But it can’t save weak projects from long-term dump

Always research:

Tokenomics
Use-case
Developer activity
Community strength


📌 Don’t let CEX listings fool you. Let data speak.


🛡️ Be an informed investor, not a victim of listing-based FOMO.

Because whales pump & dump. Retail bleeds.

🏦 What is CEX vs DEX? (For Beginners)

There are 2 main ways to trade crypto:

🔹 CEX = Centralized Exchange
🔸 DEX = Decentralized Exchange

🔹 CEX (Example: Coindcx)

Works like a bank or stock broker

You sign up with KYC

You don’t own the private keys

The exchange holds your crypto

Easy to use, beginner-friendly

But if the exchange is hacked or shuts down — your crypto is at risk ❌

Real-world example:
Like keeping money in a bank — safe but not fully in your control.

🔸 DEX (Examples: Uniswap, PancakeSwap)

No account, no KYC needed

You connect your own wallet (like MetaMask)

You own the keys and full control

No middleman — just peer-to-peer trades

Requires basic understanding ❗

Real-world example:
Like directly exchanging cash with someone — no third party, but you’re fully responsible.

CEX = Easy but controlled
DEX = Powerful but self-managed

Both have pros and cons.

As a beginner, start with CEX

but learn DEX if you want true control over your crypto 🔐

🔑 What is Self-Custody? (Explained for beginners)

Self-custody means YOU control your crypto, not an exchange or third party.

You hold your own private key or seed phrase, and only YOU can access or move your funds.

🏦 CEX vs Self-Custody

On CEX (like Coindcx):

🔸 They control your keys = They control your crypto
🔸 If platform is hacked or blocks withdrawals — you may lose funds 😨

With Self-Custody:

You use wallets like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger

You hold your private keys

Only YOU can access your funds

More freedom, more responsibility

🔐 Real-World Example:

Imagine a bank locker.

In CEX – The bank holds the keys, you just have access.

In Self-Custody – You hold the keys to your own locker. 🔑

No one can open it unless you allow.

🚨 Warning: If you lose your private key or seed phrase, there’s no reset button. Your crypto is lost forever.

So always: Store it offline
Never share with anyone
Never save on cloud/email

🎯 Crypto Myth: “If the Project Has a Big Number of Followers, It Must Be Legit!” 🤯

Many beginners say:

“Arrey bhai, Twitter pe 1 million followers hain! Surely safe project hai.”

But follower count ≠ project quality.

Let me break it down 👇

🔍 Truth: Followers Can Be Bought. Hype Can Be Manufactured.

Many scam or weak projects use:

⚠️ Fake followers
⚠️ Paid influencers
⚠️ Airdrop bots
⚠️ Engagement farms

They create the illusion of being popular — but there’s no real community, no real users, no real product.

📉 Once they get enough buyers →
They dump the token → Exit the project → Community gets rekt.

📉 Real Examples:

1️⃣ BitConnect (2017)
🔹 Massive social hype
🔹 Top YouTubers promoted it
🔻 Turned out to be a Ponzi scheme → Shut down
👉 Thousands lost money

2️⃣ DeFi100 (2021)
🔹 Fancy website, thousands of followers
🔻 Rug pulled investors and even mocked them in a deleted website message.

3️⃣ SQUID Token (inspired by Squid Game)
🔹 Viral social media buzz
🔹 Traded on PancakeSwap
🔻 Devs disabled selling → Rug pulled investors → Token dropped from $2,800 to near-zero

💡 How to Verify a Real Community?

Check engagement (comments, not just likes)
Visit their Telegram/Discord – are users real or bots?
See if team interacts genuinely
Look at GitHub activity, not just Twitter hype

📌 Lesson:
Don’t fall for big numbers.
Fall for big value. 💎

💣 The OneCoin Scam – Biggest Crypto Fraud You’ve Never Heard Of

Let’s go back to 2014.

A woman named Dr. RujaIgnatova appeared on global stages wearing a business suit and speaking fluent English.

She called herself the "Crypto Queen" and launched a project called OneCoin.

She promised:

“OneCoin is the next Bitcoin. Buy now and you’ll be rich.”

People believed her. Massive seminars were held in Europe, India, Africa — and lakhs of people started investing.

Within just 2–3 years, the company claimed to raise over $4.4 billion from regular people.

But here’s the shocking truth:

❌ There was no real blockchain.
❌ No cryptocurrency existed behind the scenes.
❌ The price shown on their app was fake — manually controlled.
❌ Everything was a Ponzi scheme.

People only made money if they referred more people — like a pyramid.

And when new people stopped joining, the scam collapsed.

In 2017, just before she was about to get exposed, Ruja disappeared.

She’s been missing ever since. Her brother was arrested and confessed everything.

The FBI now lists her as one of the top 10 most wanted fugitives.

📌 What You Must Learn:

Never invest in a project just because someone speaks well or wears a suit.

A real crypto project must have a working blockchain, real code, and public transparency.

If income depends on referring others, it’s likely a scam.

🚫 OneCoin ruined the lives of lakhs of innocent people.

Let this story be a warning — in crypto, not everything shiny is gold.
