Shiba Inu (SHIB) marketing expert Lucie recently shared insights on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. She revealed troubling truths about how centralized exchanges handle new token listings. Lucie pointed out that many exchanges list tokens lacking future prospects. This practice raises concerns about the integrity of the cryptocurrency market.
Pay-to-Play Listings
Lucie emphasized that exchanges often refuse to list promising tokens unless they receive payment. She lamented, “It’s all about business now—integrity in this market is no longer part of the game.” This statement highlights a growing issue in the industry. Many exchanges prioritize profit over the quality of projects they list.
Furthermore, Lucie cautioned against paying exchanges for listings. She noted that tokens recently listed often decline by 30-50% shortly after hitting the market. This trend suggests that paying for listings does not guarantee success. Instead, it may lead to significant losses for investors.
The Focus on Education and Growth
Lucie believes that blockchain projects should prioritize education and awareness of decentralized finance (DeFi). She urged the community to push for genuine growth rather than quick fixes. “Let’s push for real growth, not quick fixes,” she concluded, encouraging the SHIB army to focus on sustainable development.
Warning Against Scammers
In addition to discussing listings, Lucie issued a warning to the meme coin community. She alerted them to scammers exploiting the name of SHIB’s mysterious founder, Ryoshi. Recently, these fraudsters have promoted scam tokens under his name. Lucie reminded followers that only four tokens are directly associated with Ryoshi: SHIB, LEASH, BONE, and TREAT.
Moreover, she announced the upcoming release of the stablecoin SHI and the TREAT token. Lucie cautioned that anyone offering these tokens now may be scamming SHIB holders. To reinforce her message, she retweeted a post from the “Shibarmy scammy alerts” account. This account highlights ongoing scams targeting the SHIB community.
By sharing these insights, Lucie aims to protect the community from fraudulent activities and promote integrity in the crypto space.
