"Yo all, had to share this wild ride I've been on with a new altcoin called 'Lumin'. I invested a decent chunk of crypto into it, thinking it was the next big thing since Bitcoin, but what actually happened is a total 'bait and switch'. Their devs suddenly dropped the price of LUM tokens by 90% overnight"

"lol at 'rugging' in the title, nice play on words guys. From what I've seen though, this isn't a surprise, just another example of how unregulated markets can screw us over. Anyone got a good exit strategy for this mess?"

"yep, been there, done that, got the t-shirt lol. Anyone remember that time Elon tweeted about taking Tesla public on the moon and then poof, it was just a bunch of hot air?"

"LOL, what's with all the doom and gloom in here? I mean, I've seen some wild market swings, but a 'bait and switch' with a Bitcoin price drop? Someone's just trying to get a rise out of us"

"Yikes, that's a wild ride for those investors! I'm still waiting for a clear explanation on why they went bankrupt - just a bunch of vague statements and empty promises so far. Guess you can't trust a pump-and-dump scheme to last forever"

"Lol what a perfect title, OP. You're right, those pump/dump schemes are nothing but a bait and switch. They might make a quick buck for a few whales, but it's toxic for the community in the long run."

"Dude, I totally feel you. I invested in a few Bitcoin-friendly DeFi platforms and got burned when they suddenly changed their tokenomics. Anyone know of a reputable DeFi project where the devs actually follow through on their promises?"

"Haha, yeah I was there for that ride. Thought for sure we'd see $100k by year's end, but I guess the bears had other plans. Anyone else thinking we're due for a reversal soon?"

"Lol at this title, but seriously though, I think we can agree that's exactly what some 'investors' do when they hype up a low liquidity coin, only to dump it on the market when it hits a certain price. Anyone else getting whiplash from all these pump and dump schemes?"

"Haha, gotta say, that title had me hyped for a sec. But seriously, what's the real reason behind the latest price drop? Any ideas or just another case of FUD?"

Lol yeah, I had some mates invested in that new DeFi project last month, and then BAM! They changed the whole system, basically rendering all their crypto holdings worthless. That's like the ultimate bait and switch, if you ask me
