Got caught in a rug pull recently—invested 3 SOL in a project after the dev kept me updated on every milestone leading up to launch. Seemed legit with all the communication and progress updates. Then right after launch, he dumped and disappeared. Classic play in the space honestly. It's a harsh reminder to verify fundamentals instead of just trusting a dev's narrative, no matter how engaged they seem.

That's why I never believe the dev's sweet talk; no matter how fancy, it's all useless.

Damn, I've seen this trick too many times. Even if the dev keeps telling stories, it's useless.

Uh... that's why I don't get involved with projects that report progress daily. No matter how diligent the dev is, they can't withstand a dump.

It's the same old trick again; the developer who frequently updates progress ultimately ran away.

It's the same old trick again, dev reports progress every day and thinks it's stable? Wake up, buddy.
