I've heard about crypto pump and dumps, but I'm not sure if they actually work. Can you explain what they are and if they're profitable? It seems like they involve manipulating the market, which could be risky and illegal. Is there any way to participate in them safely, or should I avoid them altogether?

Once they have built up a significant holding, they begin to promote the cryptocurrency heavily on social media and other platforms, hyping up its potential and driving up the price. This attracts new investors who are drawn in by the promise of high returns.

The perpetrators of these schemes use psychological tactics to manipulate their targets. They tap into the fear of missing out (FOMO) that often plagues investors in the highly volatile cryptocurrency market.

As the price rises, the scammers start to sell their holdings, cashing out their profits. This sudden influx of supply floods the market, causing the price to plummet. The original investors who were tricked into buying at inflated prices are left holding the bag.

By dangling the carrot of "get rich quick" schemes, these scammers create a sense of urgency that pushes victims to make impulsive decisions. They prey on investors' desire for quick and easy gains, taking advantage of their lack of knowledge or experience.
