The Rise and Fall of Unibot
At its peak, Unibot promised:
- Guaranteed Fully Automated Profits via Crypto
- A $200 million valuation
- Influencer-driven hype claiming it was “the future of trading”
Then, reality struck:
- The token crashed 98%, falling from $240 to $4
- “Revenue sharing” dried up
- Team wallets dumped while retail holders were left holding the bag
Sadly, Unibot was not the only one. Dozens of similar bots use the same deceptive playbook.
The $200M Telegram Bot Scam Playbook
1. The Fake Utility Trap
These bots claim to offer “AI-powered trading.” In truth, most are glorified interfaces that simply auto-buy trending tokens or place limit orders with no edge.
- Example: The once-hyped “sniper” feature on Banana Gun faded when users realized it was just basic functionality.
2. The Ponzi-Like Revenue Model
Projects lure users with “fee-sharing” promises. But these models often mimic Ponzi schemes:
- Early users get rewards from new buyers
- When new inflows stop, rewards vanish
3. The Insider Dump Scheme
- Insiders (developers, VCs) often hold 50%+ of the token supply
- They slow-dump as influencers shill the project
- Unibot insiders reportedly made $40M+ before the collapse
Three Telegram Bots Now Facing Collapse
1. Bot A – The AI Arbitrage Mirage
- Promises: “Beat the market with AI!”
- Reality: Negative returns in backtests, no public trading performance
2. Bot B – The Revenue-Sharing Ghost Town
- Claims: “5% cut of all fees!”
- Truth: After insider exit, bot usage dropped, and fees fell 90%+
3. Bot C – The Imitator Scam
- Simply forked Unibot’s code
- Added no innovation
- Pumped by the same crypto influencers
How to Spot Telegram Bot Scams
- Anonymous teams with no LinkedIn profiles
- Tokenomics so complicated it hides dumping mechanisms
- Paid influencer promotions without transparency
- Claims of “guaranteed profits”—always false in trading
The Coming Mass Delisting
- As more bots fail like Unibot, crypto exchanges will delist their tokens
- Regulators may classify them as unregistered securities
- By 2025, 95% of Telegram bot tokens could be worthless
How to Protect Yourself
- Avoid investing in Telegram bot tokens—the house always wins
- You can use trading bots, but never buy their tokens
- If it offers revenue share, it’s likely a Ponzi scheme
The Bottom Line
Telegram trading bots can offer helpful functionality, but their tokens are often scams. Unibot’s crash wasn’t an accident—it was the result of a broken, exploitative model that’s now crumbling.
Don’t be the next exit liquidity. Stay cautious. Stay informed.
