Should I invest in pump fun projects or is it too risky?

[NFTfire205852]

The projects on pump.fun are really giving solid profit chances if you’re early. I just saw one called $PENGU — it launched around 20 hours ago and is already sitting at a $61K market cap .

Do you guys think this is still a good time to invest, or is it better to wait? What are your thoughts on this project?

pump.fun is a platform where the majority of projects created there are driven by hype. This means you no longer need fundamental research when selecting a project. It's like gambling, if you're lucky, you win & if you're unlucky, you lose.

Even if you invest in a project with low market capitalization, it's no guarantee you'll be successful. Furthermore, you decide on your investment plan. No one should be able to interfere.

Every project is a risk to invest on, sometimes when you see a new project you have to make a research about it despite that other people are profiting or is giving a profit at that moment that does not mean that it will profit you as it profit others, because you might involve yourself for the investment and at that point the market collapse so that is why there is more crypto investment that is sure, all the investment is a risk investment until the project stand firm

So my advice is that whenever you are going into investment make sure that you are ready to take the outcome of it neither to profit or you lossfor the investment do not panic and the make sure that any money you are putting into a new project investment to not have it in mind that they are going to profit see it as a trial

The title of this thread has said it all, op it means that you're aware that the projects you mentioned are not reliable, you might have heard that every project has an atom of risk in them but there's project that's less risky, mate I will have to tell you that pump fun projects as you choose to call them are very risky, you're a newbie and if am to advise you I will say that you shouldn't start now to chase shadows, it will be better if you start this journey on a smooth ground, dude go for Bitcoin if you're looking for a reliable and trusted digital investment you want to invest in, the project you  called pump fun projects are overhyped projects, they are not long-term assured and infact you can buy now and wake to notice that they've dump totally and you know what such can do to you emotionally, so it is better you start with Bitcoin because thats the only digital asset that has proved to investors that it's feature is certain because of its history for over 10years plus, so thats my sincerest advise to you op.

You are not looking for investments, this is plain gambling and if anyone tells you otherwise then they would be lying to so, for some reason.
If you want to gamble your money, then go to a casino, as there is no actual use case or fundamentals behind the minting of those tokens, there are one hundred percent driven by speculation and hype, there is no actual demand or scarcity, just a sum zero game happening very fast, before the token inevitably does and much people lose their money, so others can win fast.
Seek for better projects or try to speculate on already established projects in order to get profit.

Or even better, try stake and deposit some money if you are only seeking to get thrill.

I wouldn't bother with pump.fun projects, just go find a promising ICO with a good team and invest in that.

Yes it's risky and still you can invest. Like any other shitcoin in the market it always has a circulating supply means there is holders and traders. Personally i don't advise you to take such risks without enough knowledge about how market function with this industry, but i reply to you question objectively.
By keep reading about other projects and be familiar with charts and statistics, and compare between different concepts, you can find an answer to your question wether to invest in any type token because none can give you an exact response.

It's hard to find ICO nowadays and let alone reputable and likely a good one. OP, I wouldn't think of it anymore about investing to projects in pump fun. But if you insist, I'd tell you to invest what you can afford to lose and you've been warned since you've brought this up. The risk is all on you and that's your money to handle. A project from there can sound promising but once you're done, you might regret it.

I can honestly say that you're gambling in a different form: You can create unlimited new tokens on pump.fun, even duplicating existing ones (with large caps). The duplication ratio is 1:~ and your real goal isn't to find which one will be the "moonshot", but to find the original one. So you can imagine the level of risk.

Exactly! Like the Pengu OP mentioned is a duplicate of Pengu (Pudgy Penguins) that was airdropped to many users on the Solana chain in 2024 for hodling certain tokens (I can't those tokens now). It was a merry time for many. I thought it was the same project when I read the OP until I read that part where they said, "it launched around 20 hours ago and is already sitting at a $61K market cap."

Well, I believe OP knows what they're getting into with such an investment. It's not advisable.

We can't answer that for you, and to be honest, it's not good to ask for financial advise here as we don't know what's going to happen. And besides, it's your own money so you can decide what you can do with it, without asking the community.

What we can say though is that used your common sense. In the years that I have been in crypto, there has been history of pump and hype and after what's been said and done, they die down naturally.

So unless you get out before the dump, then maybe you can make a lot of money. But then again, we don't have the crystal ball to see what's the future is ahead of us. Definitely, there is a big risk involved here.

It's easy to say when you just saw it after it has happened, but ask some other people who are regretting it. Some tokens might even earn for you, but I tell you, many more will make you lose if you continue. All these projects are worthless, they are the very shitcoins in crypto space. They are the true definition of rug pull (scam), a very manipulative scheme in the crypto world.

These are enough reasons for you to know that it's all "gambling" with your money. So it's your choice to take the risky bet, isn't it?

[Ruttoshi]

All these shitcoins are tools for gambling and no serious minded person who wants to pile up wealth for himself through crypto investment will think of buy them. I am happy that you called it pump fun project which means that's for fun and not for profit. Currently, that you are seeing the marketcap of the coin, it's been hyped and whoever buys the hype will regret and the dev dumps his bag on you.

Don't get carried away with quick profit because it van only come by luck. The cryptospace isn't a get rich quick space buy bitcoin and hodli for long.

It's not the right time, but the time to avoid it.
The shitcoin project you're referring to is now a SCAM. The graph is plummeting like this, it's already a rug pull.

Don't waste your money just for the hype in a few hours and then it becomes a scam. Projects on Pumpfun won't be that easy to profit from. Maybe you will at first, but trust me, the losses will be greater.

You have money to gamble with why not direct the funds into your gambling account and gamble as you want, you could be lucky to make the jackpot 

We all know that projects from the link you provided are surviving on hypes. Is that what any right thinking Investor would have his money go into? Projects that are not just shitty but a scam intended, and can't be found in among the top 20 well performing altcoins at least.

We can't be the ones to advice you when to invest and when not to, if you are able to bear the risk then take your chances.

From the look of things, the so called new tokens doesn't have any utility, nothing to prove its success in the future, just like the other user said, if you can spare to gamble then it's all yours.

[el kaka22]

Shilling is understandable, people do that all the time, but there is really no reason to shill this way, this is just a shitcoin, why would you do that? This should not be that much of a trouble and we can get a lot greater returns with proper projects instead of doing terrible jobs. This has to be the most important thing, so focus on how to find better projects.

If you do that then you are not going to be worrying anyone at all. If you however ignore all of this then you are not going to focus on getting returns. I understand not a lot of people will make that kind of return, but if we can do a great job eventually. So focus on how to get better returns instead of just these risky shitcoins who will do a lot worse.

There's literally another more popular token with the same ticker  .

People be deploying the same ticker and hyping it up, are they running out of ideas since meme trend seems to fade?
The funny thing is when doing pump fun you aren't investing by any means, you're just speculating on a shitcoin with life span of 2 hours post bonding.

Investing in Pumpfun is a waste of time because you'll lose your money. The trading fee alone is huge and even when you try to set it, you will still get billed heavily. There so many useless projects on that platform and if newbie mistakenly trade there because of the fake results that are shown by influencers, trading fee will clear your profit and that's if you are lucky to make profits.
So many irregularities are happening there and I will not advise a novice to go there and trade. Most of the tokens there are only waiting for you to invest before the crash the price so the next person can buy thinking they are buying the dip.

I love what you said, you know some people aren't just ready to take responsibility, sometimes they know the right things to do but because they want to get validation from other  people they keep asking questions, let's not get it twisted am not saying it is bad or not in the right direction to ask question, it is go to ask question but we are talking about a pump fun project which I believe that they op understand what he is saying before he could even come up with such question, so I agree with what you said mate, personally I think it is his decision to make I don't have any further thing to say since I have also advise earlier that he should get busy with Bitcoin investment instead of looking the ways of  projects that could cause him loss.
