Your choices this November are an out-of-touch boomer who likes crypto just enough to grift off the gullible community with his scammy NFTs, and an ex-prosecutor who probably sees the entire industry as a scam. Either way, we’re cooked. It’s either a win that will embolden scammers to do their worst and further tank the industry’s reputation among normies, or the beginning of overzealous regulation that could stifle innovation entirely.

Here are the current projects being promoted by Clickout/Finixio-affiliated sites, which I believe have close ties to their team, or may even be managed directly by individuals within their organization. Whether the team is directly overseeing these projects or simply promoting them on behalf of others, they all follow the same modus operandi as past ventures associated with this group. In my opinion, they are highly likely to result in the same outcomes as previous projects upon release.

• MemeBet Token ($MEMEBET)

* Additionally, BlockDag deserves a mention. It appears regularly on sites owned by this group and has been stuck in what seems like endless presale hell. Interestingly, despite its frequent appearances, it never seems to make it onto their listicles of recommended projects.

Here is @CryptoRugs statement on $RUGS to an investor. It appears $RUGS has indeed rugged.

After rugging his community on $RUGS, @CryptoRugs has deleted his account from X.

⚠️ The project $FWEL is yet another @IDOsolme SCAM. It will rug pull sooner or later. Avoid trading this contract to protect your crypto assets. Stay safe out there!

🚨 RUG PULL WARNING 🚨

Stairway to heaven on this scam version of $NEIRO on Solana. The dev controls over 99% of the supply and a rug pull is guaranteed to happen soon. Do not buy this scam! Stay safe!

The meme meta on Solana right now is brain rot. $FLOG $FWEL $DWOG $DWOLF $BWULL $CWAT — what is this crap? Bring back the celebrity scams. At least those were entertaining to cover.

New poll on X. Are we cooked 🍳 for this cycle? Vote and discuss here. https://x.com/CryptoRugMunch/status/1834964796363399431

The scam-finding account @CryptoRugs wasn’t the first to create a coin and rug. Back in July, @Scams4dayz ran a presale where he completely rugged his community without even launching a coin. He has since deleted his account from X.

Even if someone claims to protect you from scams, always be cautious of their financial motivations. I know it can be annoying when I ask you to book classes or donate for the work I do, but it’s a far better path than getting caught up in something like this. Trust is built over time and can be ruined in an instant.

Vibe check on $CATE: We all know this is a supply-controlled project being shilled by KOLs with a history of promoting similar setups. That said, with the market as dull as it is right now, $CATE seems to be running. What do you think? Does this have any more legs to it, or is it about tapped out? Share your thoughts.

This is the result every single time you buy one of @IDOsolme's scams. $FWEL

I try to remain cautiously optimistic about crypto in general, despite all the garbage I encounter in this space. While seeing so many scams has certainly left me jaded in some respects, I also recognize that there are well-intentioned people quietly building valuable projects in relative obscurity. It's those two competing ideas that pull me in opposite directions but still keep me invested in the industry's potential.
