  • In 2025, AI made software creation easy, leading to poorly developed 'products' with no clear user base.
  • The 'Pump and Dump' model emerged, where projects like Cursor's browser were used to inflate valuations without delivering functional products.
  • In 2026, projects like 'Gastown' and 'Clawdbot' gained hype, blending vibe coding with crypto scams to lure investors.
  • Clawdbot is promoted as revolutionary but is likely another insecure, short-lived project tied to a crypto token (CLAWD).
  • Warning: Many hype posts may be paid promotions; avoid falling for FOMO to prevent financial losses.
