Pump and Dump is a market manipulation tactic in which a group of investors artificially inflate the price of a cryptocurrency by spreading hype and buying large volumes, only to sell off at the peak and cause the price to crash.
This scheme often results in significant losses for unsuspecting investors who buy at inflated prices.
It serves as a warning for the importance of thorough research and skepticism in the highly volatile cryptocurrency market.
