- Beware the airdrops
- Mind the rugs – “If a project looks like it was spun up in a day… and the website is janky, there’s always a risk that it’s just a quick cash grab.”
- Question everything and everyone one – Just because a celebrity endorses a project or creates it, does not mean it’s going to survive.
