  Pump and dump is a term used to describe a fraudulent practice in the cryptocurrency market where a group of individuals artificially inflate the price of a particular cryptocurrency by spreading positive news and creating hype around it. Once the price has been pumped up, these individuals sell off their holdings, causing the price to crash and leaving other investors with significant losses. This practice is illegal and considered market manipulation. Investors should be cautious of any sudden price spikes and do thorough research before investing in any cryptocurrency.

  Pump and dump is like a roller coaster ride in the cryptocurrency market. It's when a group of people come together and artificially inflate the price of a cryptocurrency, creating a frenzy among investors. Once the price reaches a certain point, these people sell off their holdings, causing the price to plummet. It's a risky game that can lead to huge profits for those involved in the pump, but devastating losses for others. As an investor, it's important to be aware of pump and dump schemes and avoid getting caught up in the hype.
