I've been rugged 4 times. Here's exactly how it happens every single time. I'm not a detective. I'm just a guy who's donated too much money to anonymous devs. After getting rugged 4 times, I've noticed the pattern is almost always the same. Step 1: Token launches. Dev is based, Website looks clean, Whitepaper is 12 pages of buzzwords. Step 2: Initial pump, Everyone's happy, Diamond hands. We're early. Step 3: Dev starts tweeting vague stuff like big announcement coming. Price pumps again. Step 4: Announcement is a partnership with a project nobody's heard of. Price dumps. Step 5: Dev goes quiet for 3 days. Telegram mods say he's busy coding.
HYPE trading volume hit $14.17B over the last 30 days. The tape changed in mid-August. Daily volume went from a few hundred million to $800M–$1.5B and stayed there. Today’s $1.2B unlock is hitting a market that is already trading at full speed, not a quiet book.
AI visual note: A GoldRush data chart titled 'HYPE Volume Stays Elevated Ahead of $1.2B Unlock' shows trading volume spikes reaching above $1.2b in late August.
