You’re sitting on CT one day and some hot girl/guy/whomever messages you with an opportunity:

Join our coordinated crypto manipulation team and make a million dollars!

Ok, you think, all I have to do is buy some crapcoin, sit in Telegram, and sell when they tell me to. Easy mode.

But you never looked at the coin’s smart contracts.

You wait in anticipation for the right time, adrenaline starts pumping, you start dreaming for a half a second, you’re going to make a million dollars today!

Here it is, dump it all!

Error? What do you mean? No, now’s the time, lets go! I’m going to make a million dollars today!

You put liquidity into a crapcoin without doing your research, whatever stake you now own is not going to go up. 100 folks do this and the people who control the coin? They sell the LP and you lose everything before you can swap to not-a-crapcoin. They want you to put all your money in there and then they artificially stop or slow down your ability to transact with the coin.

Then they walk away with a few extra pennies.

Then do that 100-? times a day.
