Rug Pulls

The Crypto Market Watch

In Episode 9 of TCMW, Dr Nick and Marsh Frost discuss one of the most common yet least nuanced negative Crypto events, a Rug Pull.
Dr Nick will provide a framework on how to think about Rug Pulls and how to avoid them. Or if you absolutely positively have to buy the meme token, what you are looking for in a Project so you can better anticipate what style of Rug pull may be on the horizon.
