Plans to Mock Shitcoins: the capitalization of the new SCAM coin rose to $70 million in one hour

A Tiktoker Andre Lewis (Dre) jokingly created the SCAM cryptocurrency, the rate of which suddenly began to rise — the capitalization of the asset reached $70 million in early May.

The SCAM creator claims he spent $400 to issue 10 trillion coins. According to a Tiktoker, he created SCAM to simply poke fun at other “shitcoins” that operate in a “pump and dump” scam scheme.

LATOKEN experts want to remind you that hackers can steal cryptocurrency by “pumping” funds through a specific cryptocurrency trading pair with low liquidity even without withdrawal permission.

SCAM reached a market capitalization of $70 million almost immediately after launch, then dropped to $7 million, and then to $2,5 million.

Dre claims that launching a new cryptocurrency these days is as easy as clicking a few buttons on a website.

By the way, even though this coin has an obvious name, it is still not so obvious here. SCAM, in this case, stands for “Simple Cool Automatic Money.” This is exactly what everyone longs for.
