Shitcoin Detective is an independent crypto channel, that is created to contrast:

  • Scammers, who rugpull a hundred tokens from under your feet
  • Influencers, who drop their bag on you
  • Telegram channels with "No FUD" policy
  • Developers, who cash out when their coin moons, without delivering on any of the promises
  • Youtube channels, who only make content if you pay them

I never ask for your money, or to invest into something. Be aware that scammers have tried to impersonate me.

Airdrop scams is becoming predominant.
Some set of people would just dump a certain worthless token in your wallet and expect you to pay to open it .

Disheartening.
