I do not condone rugging or launching coins like this. This interview will give you an insight into the tech & tools people are using to launch coins on PumpFun.
The DogWifTools team have stated that they do no advocate using their tool for this.
Investing isn't gambling.
There is no such thing as getting rich quick.
Getting rich takes hard work and patience.
Gamblers go BROKE while investors get RICH.
