5 Types of Coins You Absolutely Should Not Buy

In the crypto market, not every coin is worth investing in. Many projects are just "bubbles" that soon burst, causing investors to lose everything. Below are 5 types of coins that you should stay away from if you don't want to become "liquidity" for others: 1️⃣ Abandoned Coin These are projects that the dev team has stopped developing, no longer updating the product or maintaining the community. Commonly seen in ICOs from 2017–2018, initially hyped up but then "vanished". If the devs are no longer involved, the future of the project also fades into oblivion. 2️⃣ Coin Pump & Dump 📉 Characteristics: skyrocketing prices within a few hours or days without any significant news or upgrades. These "pumps" are often caused by whales or manipulation groups, followed by a steep "dump", leaving retail investors with heavy losses. 3️⃣ Low Liquidity Coin 🕳️ If the trading volume is too low, you may find yourself in a situation where you want to sell but no one is buying. This is a playground for the "big players" who can easily manipulate the price. Low liquidity coin = high risk. 4️⃣ Meme Coin Copy-Paste 🐶 Not all meme coins are bad, but most are just riding the trend. Projects lack a clear roadmap, have no utility, and no real community. When the trend ends, the price evaporates faster than you think. You should only pay attention to meme coins with a strong community foundation and lasting value. 5️⃣ Coin Delisted 🚫 Once a major exchange announces delist, the price of that coin nearly collapses. Most never have a "chance of revival". Don't be foolish to rush in and buy the "bottom" when a coin is delisted, because that is usually... the bottom of the entire project. ✅ Golden rule: Any coin without utility, adoption, development, and liquidity will only be worth zero in the future. Preserve your capital, choose wisely, and only engage with projects that have a solid foundation.
