Why Pump Fun is BAD for Crypto

           Welcome back to the Crypto Flip podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into the chaotic world of pump-driven hype and why it’s ultimately harmful to the crypto space. We’ve all seen those wild price surges that trigger FOMO (fear of missing out) and get everyone talking, but are they really good for the market? We explore how these unsustainable pumps lure inexperienced investors into risky trades and discuss the negative impact it has on trust within the community. When speculation outweighs utility, it sets a dangerous precedent, especially for newcomers who might mistake price action for project value. As advocates for responsible investing, we emphasise the importance of doing proper research rather than chasing quick wins driven by social media hype.

           In this episode, we also touch on high-profile controversies like the Tornado Cash case, where creators of innovative tools were punished for how others used their technology. It raises questions about fairness, regulation, and the double standards in the industry. Through all this, we reflect on the role privacy coins play in the crypto ecosystem, highlighting their potential as essential infrastructure rather than "criminal tools." We challenge the narrative that criminalises technology itself and call for a shift in regulatory attitudes as new governments take power. Our goal in this discussion is to spark critical thinking, promote healthy market behavior, and ensure that, as a community, we’re building a stronger, more transparent crypto space for everyone.
