Honeypots: you can buy but never sell

A honeypot is a token contract rigged so anyone can buy in, but almost nobody can sell — usually through a hidden blacklist or a sell tax set so high it's effectively a wall. Money goes in fine. Money does not come out.

The chart gives it away if you know what you're looking at: a straight green line up and to the right, because nobody trapped inside can sell to create a red candle. It looks like the strongest token you've ever seen, and that's exactly the point — it's designed to look irresistible to people scrolling fast.

Before you ape into anything unfamiliar, run it through a honeypot checker or simulate a sell first. It takes thirty seconds and it's the difference between a trade and a donation. If a chart has never printed a single sell, that's not luck. That's the trap working as intended.
