I've been hearing a lot about SafeMoon recently and I'm wondering if it's just another pump and dump scheme. I want to know if it's a SAFE investment or if I should avoid it.

Can you please explain what is meant by the term "pump and dump crypto" and provide some insight into which cryptocurrency is currently the most popular among those engaging in this type of speculative trading? It's a practice that involves artificially inflating the price of a cryptocurrency through coordinated buying, often driven by false or misleading information, and then selling it at a much higher price to unsuspecting investors. Identifying the most popular among these can be challenging given the rapid changes in the crypto market, but it's a question that many are interested in.

I've heard stories of coins being artificially inflated in value only to crash spectacularly soon after, but I'm not sure which one stands out as the most infamous. Could you shed some light on this for me, and perhaps explain how such a scheme typically operates within the crypto market?
