Rug Pull Analogy: Imagine a plumber finishes a job, you hand them cash, and they vanish before you can use the repaired pipe. That’s a rug pull — the creator of a crypto project takes the money and runs, leaving investors with nothing.

How People Lose Money: Rug pulls happen when scammers launch a crypto project, hype it up, and then drain funds by selling all their tokens or hiding the money. Investors lose their money because:

  1. The project’s code is fake or broken.
  2. The team disappears, blocking access to funds.
  3. No one can recover the money once the scam is done.

It’s not a risky investment — it’s a deliberate theft. Always check if a project has real code, a transparent team, and a clear purpose. Avoid projects with vague promises or no public details.
