Lots of projects are really coming out these days as rug pulls and if you are lucky or good whatever it is, then you can expect to get some profit however if like you said you have lost a lot already maybe you are not as lucky as you might think you are and stop already.

I don’t know what else to tell you because there’s really no fool proof list that could tell you about whether a coin or a project is legit or not. The best you can do is trust the project and if it doesn’t do well then maybe steer away from the likes of it for the mean time.
