  Pump and dump groups are organized communities that artificially inflate the price of a cryptocurrency and then sell it off quickly to make a profit. They typically target low-volume and low-market cap coins that are easier to manipulate. These groups often use social media platforms, such as Telegram or Discord, to coordinate their actions and create hype around a particular coin. They spread positive news, rumors, and false information to attract inexperienced investors who are easily influenced. Once the price starts to rise due to increased demand, the group members sell their holdings, causing the price to crash. This leaves unsuspecting investors with significant losses.

  Manipulating cryptocurrency prices through pump and dump groups is an unethical practice that takes advantage of the decentralized and volatile nature of the market. These groups exploit the lack of regulation and oversight to manipulate prices for their own gain. It's important for investors to be aware of these schemes and avoid getting involved. Conducting thorough research, diversifying investments, and consulting reputable sources can help protect against falling victim to pump and dump schemes.
