I wonder how can people fall to this guy scam. According to the news, he is famous or known to run many fail projects previously, and interestingly most investors came from Africa/Middle East. Seems like the promise of high return makes people forgot to do their due diligence. And sadly his scams were using Bitcoin (mostly) as an investment. Let's hope this will prevent further scam and educate people.

Once they get burned they won't return, they will go back to the stock exchange instead. We need that ETF and bakkt for safe trading

People need to burn themselves once or twice to get their sense back, so it's a great thing overall. 2017's bull market made people consider everything a good investment, because everything was going up and paying out for quite a long period of time, even the most ridiculous looking scams. People become more aware of what this space is about, will look for better exchanges to use, and will eventually stick with just holding or trading the more established coins. Regulated platforms will attract smart people. Unregulated platforms attract stupid people. Considering that there are more stupid people in this space than smart people, they will continue to get scammed, lose money, etc. |
