    Nice, but people need to understand that creating tokens to manipulate price solely to make pump and dump is huge earner for scammers.

    I dare to say that currently most new coins are just this – creating token to pump and dump. In one form or the other.

    Think about this before investing in meme coins or new “promising” coins.
