I will share here my crypto stories and things, I have notice been working for 3 years as crypto marketer.
Some of them will be about scam schemes, some about people I meet, some about marketing, some about tokens, and some about me.

Story 1 :

Let's start about scam scheme....

It was 2021-2022 and scammers came up with a clever trick involving fake groups called "Whale Investors" or "Market Manipulator Whales." Here’s how the scheme worked:

They created these groups and pretended to have big funds to invest, create polls asking, "Which token should we invest $100K in?" For such pools choose newly trending or fast-growing tokens .

Then they acted as normal users and joined token community chats, posting things like, "Let’s vote so these whales can invest in us!"

Many project owners didn't see the trap and shared these polls in their communities. But there was a catch: you could only vote if you joined the scammers' channel. This way, they stole audiences and grew their channel quickly.

After gathering all this attention, they would pick some of the voted tokens and claim, "We chose these tokens, and their value grew up to $10 million." At this point, depending on how bold or greedy they were, the scammers would take different steps:

1. They’d announce, "We’re tired of pumping other people's projects. We’re launching our own token, and you get an exclusive chance to invest."
2. They’d say, "Our future investments will only be shared in a private group, and entry costs $100-$1,000."
