Oh my God, another article about avoiding scams... But to be honest, GeckoTerminal has saved me several times, and you can tell at a glance from the liquidity pool whether a project is about to run away.

Rugged so many times and still haven't learned to read the market, truly deserved.

Bro, this rug pull was really insane. Last time, I didn't see the liquidity clearly and got wiped out.

Rugs are so frequent that it's exhausting, but some people still keep rushing in... Really, checking the depth of liquidity pools is a lifesaver, or else it could turn into a cash machine in minutes.

It's another old story, but it's really worth listening to. I actually use GeckoTerminal too; liquidity can be seen at a glance. But to be honest, sometimes no matter how cautious you are, you can't avoid those tricks. Smart contract auditing is the most tricky part; fake audits are everywhere. You need to understand a bit yourself, right? Still that saying: before making money on the chain, learn to avoid losing money first. You have to find that balance yourself.

The lessons from rug pulls are bloodily clear. Now, I don't even dare to touch coins without tools.

Rug pulls are happening too frequently now. Just looking at on-chain transactions, I have to spend half a day checking the projects... GeckoTerminal is really useful. I relied on it to avoid several obvious pitfalls.

Bro is right, but I feel like GeckoTerminal still needs to be used in conjunction with on-chain sniffing. Just looking at the data alone can easily be exploited by whales.
