UNISWAP MADNESS

[MrMojoRising26]

As someone who was here for the ICO craze of 2017 with tons of people exit scamming on investors I thought I would give some advice to those chasing crazy gains on uniswap. Over the past month or so we have seen crazy gains on uniswap with 100x returns on some projects so it is easy to be sucked into it, but you need to realize most of these listings have not gone through the ICO regulations which means they can just rug pull at any time leaving you with a worthless token. A few days ago NEXE, and NUGS to name a few just vanished after dumping on holders. You will notice most of these token creators like to remain anonymous which is a big red flag. You need to realize anyone can make an erc20 token and list it on uniswap then create a web page with copy and pasted info from other legit projects and throw the word defi in there. With the SEC involvement with ICO's launching that is actually a better thing for investors to hold the token creators accountable making it less likely to have them vanish with your money. In 2017 lots of ICO's did not go through the SEC regulations, but now they all have to or risk jailtime. Some will listen some will play the game and get burned, and some will make crazy returns. I personally think you are better off just holding ETH or buying into a project that went through a traditional ICO. Good luck out there and stay safe!

uniswap now full with unknown project that we didnt never heard it before. there is some one come to uniswap gem discussion group and spill project, and suddenly price rise 10x or even more of that. in my opinion its new game in crowdfunding , and risky what the accident in 2017 could happen again where are many investors loss their money into shit token. NEXE , NUGS and then Realgame and mayb YAM too.

that caused by there was no qualification for a token that can be listed into the uniswap and I think that some scammers were also creating fake contract and then they were putting it into the uniswap to fool the buyers. this is happening with serum ieo.

I won't be surprised if Uniswap will end just like etherdelta, which is almost dead. When ED started, you will see a lot of eth tokens that were actively trading even if the thread of the project here in the forum was not gaining attention. And now, in Uniswap, we will see a lot of unknown projects getting good activity in trading. People should be careful in joining the hype because of them have hollow foundation.

Regulations...... What ICO regulations? Most ICOs from 2017/2018 are completely dead now.

These Uniswap gems are just like an accelerated version. Get in and out quick, and fully prepare yourself to either win big or go broke.

Most of the really successful Uniswap projects aren't half-assed projects though, they're actually high potential and have transitioned to more popular exchange platforms.

Still 95% of the shit that gets listed on Uniswap is garbage. Newbies should stay away if they don't want to lose all their money.

Very well advice. But it's sad to say that there will be people that won't listen to our notice and even if we remind them for so many times, they wouldn't care. As they will only reason out that it's their money that they are playing with and not ours.
We have done our part of warning them with this craze and it will be them who will determine their status on this trend.

[aemma]

The craze is getting out of hand and of course people won't listen because of the gains they are thinking they will get, well although some will make good gains and some will bear the loss. If care is not taken, uniswap will become a dumping ground for scammers and I totally agree with every single thing you said. For the fact that most projects listed there didn't passed through the right way, it means they can easily exit scam without trace. On one hand it is Defi hype and now Uniswap hype, there is need to be careful because scammers hardly let go of any good opportunity to make money.

[Baofeng]

Just be careful with this latest craze though, I caught one phishing site here, [Scam]: Fake Uniswap wallet. If we are to compare this to ICO craze of 2017, then this is just the beginning. And if you have experience that ICO boom, pretty sure you know what to do right now. And for newbies, don't get caught, don't be irrational, used your logical thinking here. It's good to make profits, but don't be greedy.

you are right I forgot to mention that as well the fake contract addresses are another big issue

yes there were no regulations back then some dissapeared some paid fines some went to jail I would imagine. Now I think it is more regulated then in the past. Hopefully the ICO's come back with real great ideas and projects not just the same old crap rebranded. I guess we will see in a few months how these uniswap "gems" are doing. I am sure a few good projects may come out of it as you said it is 95 % crap

We are in the midst of a crazy run now much like the 2017 run. People scamming with fake tokens in uniswap much like the etherdelata during 2017 and projects with diluted market cap going billions days after listing.[ Read as SERUM]

Definitely not sustainable.

There is a real madness going on in uniswap, I have joined some and they have been really profitable, although I am aways awake reading post about these projects and following them so they don't rug while I am sleeping. 2017 is at a repaly again, people need to be guided because these HYIPE won't last forver, and never chase all projects.

Its okay to joines the hype but dont overconfident with some projects we all know how these hype could badly end up later. Uniswap is really in demand now and being followed by a lot of traders and investors I think with too much money earn and wasted we can see a replay of 2017-2018 ICO fever. It will only a matter of time before someone from the authority check those project soon.

[H1N1]

We need to be careful to not getting trapped by scam projects using uniswap hype.
My advice, we should only take a part in the project who have transparent team members and project.
Anonymous team can be easily run away with investor's money.

Yeah, you are really on point, I was wondering the same as some tokens are being sold directly at uniswap, although uniswap is growing rapidly and it has become the new trendy platform but i guess we need to be careful especially while choosing our choice of tokens there, I hope people will stay safe and not get trapped with some useless tokens.

[cosmofly]

I don't think it's time for us to play safe. When uptrend comes and we do not take advantage of it, we will be bad investors or traders. The opportunity has come, the whales are pushing the market vigorously, especially the Defi technology coins. I believe that in the future there will be many potential ICOs coming out, it is not just SOL and JST.

Yeah it seems really similar to me as well. Kind of curious how many times it will happen again. I mean I thought there are enough truly educative resources on crypto and good knowledge spreads enough for this not to happen.
But apparently I was wrong and some people are still ignorant to dull fact that crypto is an investment tool - great, unseen before, unprecedented, but still is not a free money giveaway/casino.

there is another one like uniswap, i don't know if they are related to each other like forkdelta and etherdelta 
https://mooniswap.exchange/#/swap.. the thing I don't like about uniswap is the is so high

Or is it possible that Uniswap will become the hype that happened like in 2017, because, several new and very risky projects appear there with very high increases in a short time, if it is true then we have to prepare for a big wave like that year.

[Ucy]

What traditional ICO? Your post is a bit confusing in some places.

Well, Uniswap isn't supposed to conduct ICOs(or other similar crypto crowdfunding) if it does not have the means to filter out good decentralized projects.
I believe decentralized projects are better regulated through decentralized means. That is one of the ways you prevent good projects from getting centralized due to possible opaqueness,  corruption, non-transparent activities, centralization etc of centralized regulations.
Any platform that can build a proper decentralized ICO regulation system, should be able to regulate proper decentralized projects with communities, without problems. The communities and governments should be able to decentrally regulate ICOs on the Decentralized Platform in full transparency, immutablity, censorship resistant, privacy, safety, trustlessness/permissionless etc. This is one of the ways you maintain the integrity of good decentralized projects.
Maybe people that find it hard to crowd-fund good decentralized projects in their countries can try good decentralized ICO review/regulatory platforms that are open to decentralized regulation from all governments.

Decentralized regulation is how you maintain the integrity of decentralized crypto communities projects
