1. The price of this token kept surging and surging, there was no retrace or whatsoever which to me is a red flag, the whole chart was a straight line aiming for the moon.
Are you sure the volume is generic? You should always check the market orders for it.
2. Telegram channel was restricted, no one can make comments or send messages, another red flag that I don't get suspicious over
It's an automatic red-flagged. There should be no reason why the group becomes restricted.
Anyone should be able to voice out their concern.
It's too late already but hope someone learn one or two lessons from this
There's no such thing as
"too late". The next one you will do is the start. Since you have already learned your lesson, you are more careful on your actions the next time you become interested again in investing at Metaverse.
