Self-Scam

An act that turns out to be against one's own best interests. A self-scam can often be a decision which creates more problems than it solves, or that causes more trouble than it's worth. Often used to describe actions that turn out to be bad financially, or that are time-inefficient.
Buying a car is a huge financial liability. It is basically a self-scam.
I realized the module I created was more of a self-scam, because it adds a bunch of new bugs to the codebase.
Stress is just a self-scam. It does not speed up the work, and causes more mistakes.

Scam-grab

What Is a Scam-Grab?

A scam-grab (similar to 'land-grab') occurs when a new innovation, technique, tool, meta or technology enters the crypto market, conditioning participants to adopt a higher time preference due to its profitability and their greed (e.g., new coin meta, rapid creation of new coins and their potential profitability, and overall PumpFun runners).

From the scammer’s perspective, a scam-grab represents a massive opportunity to exploit market greed. This leads to a prisoner's dilemma-style race, where scammers rush to extract as much capital as possible before the opportunity disappears.
"I missed out on the Trump coin, it turned into a scam-grab with all the other ones being created."

"This new crypto bird animal meta quickly turned into a massive scam-grab."
