Recently, a Dogecoin developer flagged a new scam attempt, alerting the community to the rise of suspicious token promotions. Despite the decentralized nature of the crypto space, there has been growing scam activity, especially involving speculative assets like Dogecoin (DOGE).
Dogecoin Developer Cautions Against New Scam
A pseudonymous Dogecoin developer known as ‘inevitable360’ has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the rise of a new scam within the DOGE community. He issued a clear warning to community members about suspicious token promotions that are attempting to associate themselves with the Dogecoin brand and mission.
According to inevitable360, any digital asset promoted as a token rather than a cryptocurrency like Dogecoin and Bitcoin should be treated as a potential scheme. He emphasized the distinction between tokens and established cryptocurrencies, pointing out that DOGE and Bitcoin are backed by their independent blockchains, which gives them legitimacy.
Given DOGE’s strong reputation as the number one meme coin, the developer expressed major concern over these suspicious token promotions that invoke DOGE’s name or community spirit. One particular example noted in his warnings is “Dogevan,” a new project that some members of the Dogecoin community have recently begun marketing.
Notably, inevitable360 stopped short of revealing detailed specifics about the project’s structure or its backers. Nonetheless, he advised community members to exercise caution and avoid assuming that such projects have any official endorsement or legitimate connection to Dogecoin.
The primary concern with this new scam is that some individuals may leverage DOGE, which is known for its popularity, strong community and philanthropic reputation, to gain traction or funding for unrelated and potentially deceptive token schemes. Reinforcing his point, inevitable360 emphasized that genuine charitable intent does not require the creation or promotion of a token.
The developer’s scam alert serves as a reminder for the DOGE community to stay vigilant, verify all suspicious claims, and avoid supporting projects without proper backing or technical foundations.
DOGE Price Gears Up For Bullish Turnaround
Amidst the rising scam activities in the Dogecoin community, its price continues to decline, struggling to record any significant gains and drive its value to previous highs. Although the meme coin remains in a downtrend, with its price currently trading at $0.16, crypto analyst Javon Marks has predicted a potential 200% to 300% surge to a target above $0.73 for the meme coin.
According to Marks, DOGE could be getting ready for another “magical bullish performance” to reach new all-time highs. The analyst presented a distinct chart showing a historical price analysis of Dogecoin with a repeating Falling Wedge pattern.
In each case, the price compresses within the Falling Wedge before breaking upwards and executing a strong rally. Dogecoin’s current Falling Wedge has already broken out after forming a Bull Flag. This suggests that the meme coin may be preparing for a strong move upward, similar to past cycles.
