Most NFTs/DeFi token are no different from the ICO hype before and most of these tokens you mentioned probably pump as you expected but that’s just it once you see a continuous pump, the drop of it will be very heavy that most investors gamble their money hoping this kind of project would give them a good profit. Well, it will give a good profit or so but the risk is you don’t know when these shitcoins will start to dump.

This is not a financial advice but invest on your own risk and always do your own research before investing a certain coin. Most of these newly created tokens/coins are being manipulated in order to look like it’s going to be the next promising coins.

With decentralized exchanges, any team can add liquidity pool and open trading for their tokens. So things now are different than when we did not have DEX. Exchange listing on CEX in the past is kind of thing to consider that project spends money to list their coins and can be considered as a plus for non scam. It is not true. They listed their coins and made scam exit. With DEX, it is easier.

Looks like most of NFT/METAVERSE related cryptocurrencies these days are pumping, even shitcoin or useless, lol.
What currently I am afraid of these days is the bubbler on NFT/METAVERSE, since there are still some of the cryptocurrencies that are already public-traded but still, no project or use cases or product at all that users will be able to use or any utility of their token.
