Fake crypto accounts on live streaming platforms are rampant. Those accounts claiming to give away airdrops are organized groups exploiting retail investors. The situation is especially severe in the Solana ecosystem—countless fake project teams are using live streams to attract newcomers,诱导 transfer, wallet connection, or participate in fake activities.
This tactic is professionally known as "wash trading"—faking information and creating urgency to generate FOMO, causing retail investors to blindly send money. Ironically, these scams are carried out openly, with hardly anyone digging into the black market chain.
The core issue lies in the lack of verification mechanisms. Streaming platforms' review processes can't keep up with the evolving scam techniques. Protect your wallet private keys and seed phrases, and think twice before participating in any airdrops—this has become a mandatory lesson.

Here comes another wave of SOL ecosystem rug pulls, with more scammers in the live stream than project teams.
FOMO every day, rushing in only to find out it's all fake airdrops, and your wallet is gone once connected.
These people really know how to play; if the review process can't keep up, they just pretend no one is watching.
Retail investors should wake up; never give your private keys to anyone, and no matter how tempting the airdrop, ask yourself first: is this a scam?

The SOL ecosystem has been pretty heavily cut this year, with new projects waiting in the live stream every day.

It's the Solana ecosystem again, with the pump-and-dump scheme... I was still researching gwei on the gas tracker at 3 a.m., and as a retail investor, I got scammed directly. Honestly, instead of saving a few bucks on miner tips, it's better to learn how to identify fake accounts first, brothers.

The SOL ecosystem's recent rug pull is truly impressive, with more fake projects in live streams than real ones, haha.
When people FOMO, their brains go offline. Who's to blame for that?
The verification mechanism can't keep up with the scammers' creativity.
Be more careful before connecting your wallet; this lesson is too costly.
The black market chain is so blatant... does no one regulate it on the platform?
The tricks used in wash trading are becoming more sophisticated, making it hard for retail investors to defend themselves.
Basically, greed is causing harm; there are no free lunches in the world.
99% of airdrops in live streams are scams. Wake up, everyone.
This is a true reflection of how Web3 has yet to mature.
If your mnemonic phrase leaks, you're truly finished.

Solana ecosystem is now a scam paradise, with daily live streams to sweep up retail investors.
It was about time to crack down hard on these fake projects, so annoying.
The FOMO tactic is really deadly; it's pitiful how new users can't even react in time.
People still have to be taught the basics like wallet private keys; too many don't learn from their mistakes.
The most outrageous thing in live streams is a bunch of verified accounts all being fake, and the platform really doesn’t care.
They just say "think twice before acting," but someone still needs to do a deep dive to expose these scammers.
The scam gangs on Solana are definitely organized, it feels like they have a professional team operating.

The SOL ecosystem's approach is simply amazing, daily bombarded by fake project teams, gotta be cautious when connecting wallets...
---
It's the same old washout trick, FOMO really never fails.
---
Airdrops in the live broadcast room are all traps, I'm used to it.
---
The verification mechanism is so lousy, the platform should reflect on this.
---
Damn, someone got liquidated again, when will I be able to safely farm airdrops.
---
Just keep your private keys secure, everything else is虚的.
---
There are many such incidents on SOL, newbies should be more cautious.
---
Black industry chains are so arrogant, where is the regulation?
---
FOMO is deadly, still need to exercise restraint.
---
Fraud and innovation are just one verification mechanism apart.

The scammers on Sol are really getting more and more rampant, flooding the airwaves with airdrops every day... I'm numb to it all.
---
It's the same old trick of wash trading, why are retail investors so easily fooled?
---
The live streams are all fake, they dare to show off without even verification... outrageous.
---
Private keys and seed phrases must be kept tightly protected; a small mistake and your money is gone.
---
Platform's review process is practically useless, can't keep up with the scammers' updates.
---
I'm now tired of hearing the word FOMO; behind it all is organized harvesting.
---
The Solana ecosystem has become a mess; we need to think of ways to clean it up.
---
Looking at those fake project teams, I just want to laugh—they're openly scamming.
---
The word "airdrop" now equals a trap; anyone who believes is foolish.
---
Such obvious black market chains are ignored; platforms really need to reflect.

The Solana ecosystem has really fallen apart over the past year, filled with "official" live streams to scam retail investors.
Too many people are overwhelmed by FOMO, it's absurd how they want to hand over their private keys just by looking at them.
This black-market chain should have been thoroughly investigated and shut down long ago. Leaving it unchecked, anyone can suffer.
Fake crypto accounts on live streaming platforms are rampant. Those accounts claiming to give away airdrops are organized groups exploiting retail investors.
