I get why people value accounts that flag potential scams and rug pulls—it's important work. But here's the thing: these calls are frequently off target, and sometimes that causes traders to miss real opportunities.

Take White Whale as a prime example. Multiple analysts repeatedly labeled it a scam, yet the token hit a $150M market cap and is still trading around $70M. That's a massive move for anyone brave—or informed—enough to go against the consensus bearish narrative.

The lesson? Do your own research before letting fear of a possible rug dictate your moves. Not every warning is right, and not every questioned project is doomed.
