To all newcomers on here pls be careful with projects that start with the name "META" because they are mostly scam projects, since metaverse have become another hot cake in crypto world today this scammers are fully ready to use this on the unknowns, open your eye and do good research before taking that risk... Meta this and mate that are the most dangerous projects today, stay safe.

This is why I stick with ETH, polkadot ecosystem, avalanche, NEO and few serious projects in the space, 90% of new tokens and coins are just catching cruise with people's money using words (promises) as their ultimate weapon, I've been here since 2017 I've seen enough, new tokens and coins aren't something I want to keep, I will only invest for short term gain.

The new trend was triggering the scammers. I would not be surprised if that was happening but the problem is so many shit coins hunters are making the scammers never feel tired to create more and more scam tokens. It can be said that some people are actively pouring the scammers with their money caused by these people wanna get fast money from there as fast as they can.

I hope that those meme token hunters will open their eyes caused so many scam tokens are exist in the market right now.

This will keep going on and on, I'm expecting such from web3.0 projects too because I believe that's where the next hype will come from but what else can we do than to keep doing same research to find out which project is reliable and which is not, apart from crypto scammers will always use anything that's presently been talked as far as money is involved.

scammers quite literally exists in every corner, right now it’s metaverse that getting infested with so many scammers like a parasites but in the past it was defi because it’s also the trend.

this is the exact reason you should make any proper analyzation and knowing the project first before making any decision relating in putting your money for investment.
in metaverse, usually the projects offer a product that is in form of a game like the existing newer projects that are in category of metaverse, they usually have finished products that they gonna be offering.
because of that you could just simply review their products before hand and if you find out any fishy things and maybe even the product itself is that of low quality, you could just refrain from investing in these metaverse projects.

The current market cap of the metaverse is very high, and the forecast for the future is also very promising, almost around US$758.6 Billion by the Year 2026 (https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/02/22/2389001/0/en/Global-Metaverse-Market-to-Reach-US-758-6-Billion-by-the-Year-2026.html). This is sure to make people flock to follow the hype of this metaverse and hope to make a profit. but unfortunately there are some irresponsible people who take advantage of this moment to create trash and fraud projects. this can be seen from the many projects with metaverse appendages. I don't hate the many projects in the metaverse industry, but we have to be very careful, even when doing our due diligence

thats obvious that meta project scam even not all of them we need to dyor its easy money grab because the hype of facebook and big company like microsoft started the metaverse project but metaverse things is on very early stage so we need to be careful guys

digging deeper and more thoroughly in learning is a good idea to stay away from scammers and this seems to be a good reason. I think there are too many scammers in the name of "meta" because at this time the metaverse is still highly glorified because the market capitalization is still very high.

People are expecting too much from metaverse I guess the hype got them so much lol, metaverse still have a long way to complete as you can see no single metaverse project is completed till date.

Ever since I'd never seen these projects will get attention to the majority in terms of profit gain but this only gives attention to how it ends scamming. Yes, if we care about not losing our money, we've better choose projects that are truly profitable, not because of the hype made. I could say that this metaverse project won't give fair play nor it give profit to the investors, but most likely, this will give regrets to them. This could tell that new projects aren't worthy of our trust anymore, we are likely to feed these scammers.

Thanks for your advise, and I would agree and this is so true. We've seen in before so this scammers are just going to recycle because they know it's an effective method. Because there are still gullible individuals in the crypto space who blindly invest their hard earn money on this hype. So everyone should be very careful and investigate the projects that they are going to invest.

Fake projects are every where, if there's a new trend expect them to be there as well.
We should get used to it and know how to avoid them so you can be safe and you will not fall for those fake projects. Metaverse is getting more popular everyday, they are still on their first phase and we can expect more from them. I believe in the next bull trend, they will go all out and expect those good projects to be on top so better not to waste your money on fake projects and invest only on the most trusted Meta tokens.

Isn't it already a feature for new projects , that there will be fraud?
so always be aware of all kinds of projects so as not to be scammed

Not just Meta! Also there are projects ending/starting with Shiba, squid game etc. These are mostly scam projects and also a majority of the projects added in pancakeswap, are scams!

Personally, I don't prefer to go beyond top 10 cryptocurrencies to invest. These are super risky and can erode your investment at any time. If you are an investor, look for value investing instead of gambling with new projects.

Im also aware about this and tihs is pretty much the same like when people were hyping the doge tokens. So many new scam doge tokens appeared in the market just like a big waves. That being said if the scammers are always keeping update with what the new trend that has been coming to the crypto. So many shit scam tokens are  mentioning the metaverse on its name to attract the buyers while we know that these scammers have no idea about what metaverse is. As a crypto trader and user and we must always be careful with any new token that used doge, shiba or meta name.
Remember that there are so many garbage project that have not used it has become scam as well.

The metaverse trend is being predicted as a new and potential trend for the future, and scammers will never pass up such a good opportunity. Therefore, the thing to do in this market is to equip yourself with knowledge and learn a thorough analysis of the project before investing money. Shouldn't listen to anyone instigating investment and should not trust projects that promise profits will be x5 x10. all of them are scams.

Creation is easy and you don't even need a PhD for it. That's why. It will all be up to us. These scammers won't even get a cent if all investors will do their homework to research about what project they will be supporting or investing with.
Check the team. If possible, talk to them face to face either with Skype or whatever communication that will assure the reality of them and not just fake profiles. Then deepen the research about how far it can get because most of the projects now are getting shorter even if their roadmaps are not yet fulfilled.

Only for the time being, very soon meta hype will slowly fade away and another utility will be the most talk about, the ones that deserves some blame are newbies who can't do their own research first before investing on those new projects.

Yes, it's a current hype, eventually, it will fade away! But I think some projects will continue to exist and develop, 99% of projects are probably total scams, but there is that 1% that will make something more, it's always like that!
Well, I definitely agree that something new is waiting for us around the corner! We had smart contracts, ICOs, IEOs, NFTs, DeFi, and who knows what else, and combinations of the ones mentioned! So I don't doubt we will see something new, maybe old but improved, mixed, or whatever, we just need to be patient and we will see it!

I think it is ok to attempt it, but must be selective with a little sum of money, since if you fall victim to a rug pull or a scam, you must be prepared to lose. In my opinion, buying crypto that has been listed on a centralized exchange platform is preferable since it has undergone a thorough fundamental assessment, and not just any crypto can be placed there, like for example on Binance.

What happens now with "Metaverse" is the same thing that happened before with "play-2-earn-games" or "privacy-coins" or "Defi-projects" and so on because the crypto market is still very based around hyped which is not a good thing in my opinion but it is what it is. There is always one or two projects that come up with a new idea and if this idea is good those projects will make the early investors rich. Then other projects see that and try to copy this approach, the first few of those copycats are still successful and then the hype is officially there. Then a lot of people want to profit from that hype by creating projects that are only consisting of a copied idea and nothing more and then the hype begings to go down again and we have 100's of those projects and only a handful of them will still be there in a few years.

I'm just looking for the Hype of the tokens they created, and searched a lot of information on twitter to get the latest Meta projects, some projects are scams, but there are also projects that are still around today and they make products like Sandbox and Mana, I think all of these is a choice because not everyone knows the project is a scam or not because it is only the profit they expect

No one can stop it just like how ICO mayhem was not stopped by anyone. But there is always calmness after the chaos.
It's a trend so all eyes are on it. It will be difficult to miss considering even Facebook renamed their company to Meta. Now it gets the investors' blood pumped up and all money is ready for investing.
What I did was follow one streamer who tests Metaverse and NFT projects. It saves me some time while I will do a bit of research to lessen the risk.

Last year doge every where, a few months ago play to earn every where and this time meta everwhere. This is the crypto cycle when scammers are always trying to adapt with the trend that happens in the cryptocurrency.
It can be said that if scammer will always exist and it doesn't matter what trend that was coming for us and the thing is scammer will never disappear from the world. There will always be scammers in the market.
No chance to prevent this even regulation that already made by so many regulators didn't even make those scammers and hackers are feeling worry to be joined.
They keep trying to steal money from others use various ways.

To cut the story short it's always investors responsibility to do good research on projects before investing money, if you aren't sure then create a topic on this forum for people's opinions you might actually be safe from a wrong decision.

If there is a successful project and the trade is big, there will be project scams and that often happens in crypto, like coin memes when it's hype, then there will be lots of scam coins with the same name that can make us confused when buying this coin, as well as Metaverse with High trading volume will definitely have a big impact on the emergence of scam projects with the same theme or name, so a warning like the one you reported is certainly very useful for us newcomers who want to enter project so that we dont go the wrong way.

This hype on metaverse projects will come and go just like how ICO ended after thousands of scam projects, whatever works fine in crypto space there will always be a copy either for scam purpose or for other bad plans it's just the way things are in this crypto space.

Good point of view, yes, scammers always watch famous and illustrious names to set their traps, they take advantage of famous names such as Elon Musk and Shiba and also Meta because they have become very popular and the victim can be easily caught in these fraudulent projects, two days ago I bought a token called SHIBA TRON that had an uptrend Very good on Coin Market but when I tried to sell it I couldn't and after a little research I discovered that it was scam, fortunately I only bought a small amount so you should be careful of new projects, especially those that use famous names.

They are going with the tide, using the brand image of Metaverse and it's hype at the moment. I have seen this before, so many times that I have been caught on too. It was the same name but different contract address, they are listed on a decentralized address like forkdelta and etherdelta etc. Way back 2017, new coins in eth network are non stop coming to the market and to scam people who weren't aware. Maybe the people behind these schemes are the same way back, they just lie low, change company name and the style is no different. This people are the one who should be shut down once and for all.

That is how the crypto market works. There are hypes, some projects become huge thanks to their own merit and not because of some hype or anything and they grow organically and everyone loves those projects. Then there are thousands like it, a few copycats become good as well, like doge and shiba and floki, doge came first years ago, when that became popular shiba made it big, and now floki is trying the same, not big at all but doing fine at least.

At the end of the day there are hypes, thousands perish and few succeeds and then we move to the new hype and it keeps going that way. Nothing will change, it will always be like that and we have to just accept that.

This is how their scamers work looking for projects that are being hunted by many investors so that they can use that phrase to hurt investors to follow their abal-abal projects, and very many investors are harmed by scamers today because they are not careful in following a project, as you say metaverse is one of the very good projects today so many people who use the name with negative purposes to deceive investors.

This is common in the crypto space when a new trend comes and becomes hype then their scammers will also take advantage of this momentum by launching a coin and will name the coin almost the same as the original project name, like the current Metaverse hype then they scammers will name the coin with the name META will thus make some beginners believe that the project launched by the scammers is partnered with the original project.

This is what they've been doing when there will be new trends on social media or in the crypto industry because they actually know how to speak and gather enough data to show to their victims about the theirso-called legit project. That's why there are lots of people who fell on the squid game token scam because they thought it was the real thing but it's not. it's only been used just to get the attention of the newbie investors and guess what? they fell for it, we need to be vigilant and clever when it comes to this kind of project because it has been proven that most of them are actually scams.

The scammers have every way to deceive us so indeed we must really continue to be careful in joining the project,
research first and it is an important thing although by doing that does not mean we will be guaranteed from scam projects,
actually this is very troubling for all of us but after all this risk is part of crypto

Whatever the current trend, it will always be duplicated by scammers.
They even have their own metaverse made like it's the best metaverse.
even anything that starts with the word "meta" is likely to be deceiving us.
I think if you want to invest in a real metaverse project we can go to some of the bigger projects that have their metaverse set up.
They haven't launched yet but when it does launch it will explode, the coins setting up the current metaverse: $AXS, $MANA, $SAND.
My advice is, if you do get into the metaverse project at least you can invest heavily in one of the coins I mentioned.

Yeah no doubt scammers will always be everywhere. Meta is everywhere right now. As far as I know if any trends will be making scammers to use the name that gone viral in the public. Meta has become a viral due to the facebook and scammers try to imitate it and create the new scam meta project for their own purpose. Meta every where. Scammers everywhere. Scammers are always targeting the money from others. Those scammers must be gone from the world. They are just hurting others who tried to get money with their efforts.
This makes the crypto ecosystem becomes unsafe for now.

A fantastic idea. A live AMA should happen to test the credibility of the project owner. Live AMA builds trust and commitment between the investors. A project that refuses to give a live broadcast about the project is in for a scam.
A scam project wouldn't want to reveal their real identity to the world to avoid being grabbed by the FBI.
It's disheartening that whatever humans find interest in, scammers will also find their ways to manoeuvre it, to destroy its perceptions to investors. It's terrible that scammers don't have a single conscience in them not to dupe people's money.

And together with that people don't trust projects with a closed source code because they believe it's a scam. But such developers simply want to keep their project safe. I know what I'm speaking about as I use Utopia p2p (https://crp.is/) ecosystem which has a closed source and all the complaints around it is dedicated to that fact. It continues for 4 years already. How to deal with that?

Remember when it was blockchain this and blockchain that everywhere in 2017? Now it is P2E this and NFT that and metaverse everywhere. Before, of course,,, it was DEFI everywhere.

I am seeing now totally unrelated projects to gaming and metaverse now talking about building NFTs, making games, and making virtual worlds and avatars. Seriously,,, pure DEX and DEFI projects adopting these hype nonsense.

This is crypto I guess.

Every new trend is always easy food for scammers to create projects based on the same, which aims to take big profits from the owners of capital. so be careful before deciding to expand it

yes..there are several projects have sprung up in the name of him with META. They want to take advantage of the already well-known big name META. In fact, there is a company called Meta from New Jersey, America, who wants to sue Facebook Meta. Unmitigated, the company even prepared evidence to be able to win against the social media platform led by Mark Zuckerberg.

               For the lazy ones, then itll be a big problem but for the rest that do extensive research about the altcoins which grabs their attention and creates a detailed investment plans in advance, then the whole trend of metaverse and other shitcoins on BSC goldmines. Believe me, profits are fast on shitcoins. If one masters shitcoin hunting, then huge amount of profits with controlled risk are highly achievable.

I mean what do you expect? this market is based on news and hype and if you become the first then expect that there are other projects that are going to copy you, simply as that. And that thing is, most of the time this projects become more successful or will simply die down. So it's really up to us to do our won research and not fall for this kind of trick, borderline scams to me.

I gotta say, old is gold. Whatever they in the initial years is something out of the box and whatever they are making today is just scrap. With time passing more and more people are coming into the crypto space in the want of having handsome money out of it. The fact? Mostly newbie get attracted to this, they think it’s as easy as putting ten bucks from one side and taking out hundred thousand from the other.

This is not limited to only meta projects. As we have seen its everywhere, NFT, meme coin, defi, meta, Credit cards, or some sci-fi shits are also there to lure people. Better stick to oldies they know what they are doing.

Thats clearly a hype name for a project. Obviously they wanted to benefit on some trending but not all will fall for that and thats for sure. Maybe some will ride it as they can see some viable profits being locked in on such name but If I were you, would definitely look into it deeper before setting up your money into that set up.

Meta is seems a trend but what if a new one comes in? Obviously they will shift and jump on that one.

Profits from shitcoins with pumping and dumping are huge but we will take high risk, we may lose all deposit. No matter how talented you are, luck will come to you once or twice, but it will not stay with you forever. It's nothing more than a gamble. There are many altcoins out there and they can be extremely profitable, so know how to keep money before making money.

this week there are a lot of scam projects in the name of meta, I don't really understand how the concept of developing this kind of project is, but there is no guarantee for us not to get caught up in it, if there is no strong understanding and knowledge, I agree that now we must be careful in following existing projects, because there are many newcomers or those who have been stuck in this kind of project for a long time, even though everyone's experience is very mature, but they are still stuck in such a situation.

There are also projects that don't start their names with meta but they're a scam. It still ends up with the content and intent of the project. If they have an intention to scam, they'll scam regardless of their name.
There are plenty of them and you just have to look at what projects are legitimate or else you're buying the projects and believing those scam ones. Just don't look at the name but also what it has, the whitepaper and team that it consists of.

It's not weird a lot of people take advantage of something hype. In the past scammers always find a way to scam new people who just join this crypto space that's why before we jump to cryptocurrency we should be not too greedy to profit and learn how scammers scam other people. We should protect each other from scammers and dont become someone who dont care to other people especially new people.

A lot depends how useful will be Metaverse in future.
Metaverses very popular now and they allow a lot of opportunities.
There are a lot of Metaverses for gamers like this https://twitter.com/kusunokitoken/status/1500595135733956609

People had become more aggressive when there are new projects, especially if that is very popular. Like NFT, Metaverse had also its way to gain attention but scammers are taking advantage of this, they create scam projects that ruin everything.

Now, it is the wisest thing to do is not to invest in them if we are not sure about the project, in fact, there are a lot of potential coins in the market where we know it can really be trusted and profitable. We don't need to waste our time with them.

I would say "not investing" is not the right approach. Due diligence is a better way to approach it. If you end up completely zoning out of it and not looking at it, you are not going to lose money but you won't make any profit neither. However, if you end up searching for the good ones, and do your due diligence properly then you are going to end up with a proper profit, and that is what matters.

I personally think that the greatest thing a crypto company could do right now (NFT project or meta or whatever) would be giving all the data you may request. If they did all of it and you can find every single detail on the project, then you could actually find something that will go up.

the fact is that nowadays people are more interested in hype and tempted by projects in the name of cooperation or metaverse based tokens without doing deep research first, I think we should always be wary of new projects because like you said right this is an opportunity for scammers take action, to avoid it we better not be greedy to get a profit as well as stay focused on tokens that have strong fundamentals so that our investment will remain safe even though the market is critical as it is now,

 Reality is that scammers follow where the money is. If you see a few scams making money from metaverse, you will see a thousand of them following those. There are too many people investing into scam projects and that is why we ended up with more and more scam metaverse projects. It doesn't mean that we should be investing into them, surely we need to do our research but unfortunately there are too many people who do not and end up getting scammed, so scammers keep doing it more and more. This was true for ICO phase, it was true for STO, it was true for DeFi, true for Collectibles, true for NFT nad now true for Meta as well. As long as people keep falling for scammers, those scammers will keep doing it.

They are using the words metaverse very loosely on their projects that the word no longer bring excitement to me, nor do I expect anything spectacular to come out of it anymore. There aren't anything great that came out very recently that is associated with 'metaverse' anyway, so best to put your expectations on the low low when it comes to such projects and just stick with what the market offers currently.

Lots of big names may have been into creating the metaverse but I don't think it's something to look forward to short-term.

Most people are attracted by good promises and mostly newbies are being victimized because they don't know yet how scammers move to gain the interest of unknowingly public. Definitely, a lot will ride the metaverse hype and try to screw these naive people. Because a lot of them are after for the possible easy profits but they will only end up to losing their hard-earned savings. If you are not really cautious with this market, they will exhaust all your funds for nothing. So if you are in doubt, better do your research or just stick to projects that you know are already established in the trading market.

its just because seeking investment by using the metaverse idea is a lot more easier than just bringing their idea that sometimes are rather ridiculous and mostly obscure. The main thing that can be learned is scammers are adapting with every trend in the crypto. This time they are creating scam meta but maybe in the next years they will be creating another scam project based on the new trend that will be coming in the future.
regardless, its just like the past when dogecoins are becoming a big thing, most of the newer coins trying hard in imitating the success of dogecoin of course vast majority of them just becomes such a failure but regardless some of them are
having a really good flow of investment which ofcourse coming from some newbies that still in phase of speculating. its just how the trend works. The scammers are aware if they must follow the trend to be able to trap the potential investors for the legit tokens.

That is why I'm saying we have "not to invest" if we are not sure.

Considering the situation that the majority of these projects ended up scamming, the more we be careful choosing on them.  And rightly choosing an investment will give us profit after but if we fall into scam project, I don't wonder why hearing people blaming the market but I think it was wrong, we instead blame ourselves.

Well, just to hope all of them will become transparent in order for us to know who is legit and who is not. But I think not all of them will do the favor and not even the guarantee to say they are not scam.

ICO's are the hype a few years ago. Many developers and fake ones created their own project and scammed people.
IEO's are the hype a few years ago. Many developers and fake ones created their own project and scammed people as well.
DeFi's are also the thing a few years ago. Many people created their own DeFi project and scammed investors.
Now aside from Meta-thingy, NFT's are also the hype as of this moment but now decreasing. We've also seen different projects that ended up as a scam.

My point? Whether it is related to metaverse or related to NFT or whatever that is hype, there will be investors who will get scammed anyway. We are always educating people to do research and do this and do that but still there are some who are falling into scammers. Most of them are doing common ways to scam people but there are some who are falling into it. Being knowledgeable before investing will help you not get scammed so learn first.

You can also always end up waiting and getting in a bit later? Most projects that are scam end up showing their true colors in the first 6 months, which is not too bad for most projects to get into. So, if you wait for 6 months on a new project, it turns out to be not a scam, and you want to invest, you could always end up investing into it. Doesn't mean that it will work out, it could always fail, but after 6 months and if it looks legit, I do not think that there are many that will turn out to be scam after that much time.

It means that we are talking about something that will be a bit more profitable. Plus, projects still could go up a lot after the first 6 months, look at the increases after the first 6 months on most projects and they are all still very profitable.

Scammers never waste an opportunity to make some quick money in the markets and they will take advantage of everything they can, and without a doubt right now it seems meta coins are all the rage in the market since we are seeing a considerable amount of new projects related to the metaverse being released each day, unfortunately as you state the majority of them are scams, after all when we begin to think about it a little bit it is easy to see we do not need hundreds of coins doing the same thing, and as such the majority of them will eventually disappear.

how many hypes have passed and yet, the strategy of these scammers is to ride and get on it while they can? it is no surprise why more and more meta projects are sprouting as they can scoop up gullible investors. they will only stop once people realised they are being screwed by these projects. but up until they can extract some money from these people, they will. you are on your own here. if you are an investor, you should always do your due diligence. no one can do it for you. every hype, there will always be scammers. it it their breeding ground to multiply fast.

Metaverse had made hypes before its launch which makes people have interested but showing how they performed, people become doubtful of their credibility. Plus the number of scam projects arises, that I think need more attention and be wise enough upon choosing them. I know this is very common nowadays but having aware of the situation and with the full knowledge of what we do before investing, I guess we can avoid investing in these scam projects.

That's why I don't really like projects that rely on hype to run them, indeed not all metaverse development concepts rely on hype, but many cases nowadays they only rely on ongoing hype, everyone should pay attention to this very carefully, otherwise they want to get involved in fraudulent projects, because the more projects that appear, the more difficult it is to analyze, so be careful now if you want to start investing

Scam projects doesn't need to be named Meta or whatsoever. I'm sure you know that there are scam projects that doesn't have Meta in its name. This is why we should do a lot of digging and research to know if a project is scam or not. I have found a project where I thought it's a scam but few months later I made profit from my investment. You may say that we should avoid all projects with a meta in its name but that's only a small part of it. You should know that every place does have a scammers.

Scammers only take advantage of original projects and make their scam projects from it. Meta is strongly booming at the moment and many scam projects are emanating from it and this is not only the focus many scammers still exist in other projects as well. One has to be wise enough and engage in serious research to avoid been scammed.


check this out  (https://medium.com/coinmonks/the-current-metaverse-is-a-scam-b577a8b29161)       

It's not surprising back when it was first mentioned in here. First it was IEOs, STOs then DeFis then NFTs and now we are here in Metaverse. Scammers are also being a nomadic bastards trying to take advantage of these trends.
I do not have the full idea of Metaverse and I don't really care that much about the newer trends these days. It's just that whenever these get mentioned I tend to peak a little bit on what is it really all about, but I ain't going to throw my money into these.

100% agreed, especially when it comes to BSC tokens that have just launched.

I think that it is imperative that people realise a lot of metaverses out there are created by nothing other than people trying to turn a quick profit by riding the market wave, and that's exactly what is happening right now.

A lot of projects starting with meta- don't even have anything to do with the metaverse. And those who do rarely have a functional one.

While "mostly scam" sounds about right I'd still be not as dismissive. As the present becomes past, we're ushering into a new era. Metaverse, Pay to Earn and such niches will only get better as days go by.

I thought they wanted to create a new trend, but unfortunately they just duplicated the original concept.
What is certain is that they only took the word "meta" from the metaverse concept, then created a concept that was not much different from the metaverse.
Actually it's not too bad because their idea could make a project that uses other meta concepts to be successful, but unfortunately they actually want to immediately release their project with the concept they created just looking for profit from investors' purchases and then immediately run away with it, that's what makes concept with the word "Meta" looks bad in the eyes of others.

Yes, the scammers are around us, they just follow the trend and trap the people in fake projects. People invest blindly in the fake projects and loss their money.
Take the example of previous shitcoins trend. A lot of shitcoins were listed in the market and many people invested in fake tokens and they got trap in scammers.

This time please be careful, check full project details, check their team is real or fake, check their plans their achieved goals and many more details.   

I think before entering and joining the project we should research more deeply,
with so many new projects we have to be careful because we don't know what the project will look like,
security is very important so it's better to avoid projects that don't guarantee security it's too risky

Very good point! But I'm also a huge fan of project that focus on the metaverse since it seems to become a huge thing in the near future. Especially when you look at the gaming section, I think there are many promising projects, one of my fave being Engine token. And why? Simply because they bring in AAA games and their VR platform will soon be released. The ENGINE metaverse will be controlled by users through a decentralized network. I think it's a huge deal and defiently something to keep an eye on.

this is the first step that must be done because indeed this is one of the most important things if you really want to be in one project. This is a money issue and indeed when it comes to dealing with money it is definitely very sensitive and choosing a new project is actually quite difficult in my opinion especially for beginners.
I think if you really don't want to take a higher risk then it's better not to look for something uncertain and choose something more certain with a project that has clear prospects

Believing and trusting the projects contributes the power to the community, and i think this is just beggining of the meta and decentraland, and for defis why not, cause staking is never bad desicion for me on blockfi,ledger and soon on lunafi i plan to stake cause cause of the farming pools which i'm really attracted to.

If you could find a method to make sure that a project is not a scam, then you should share it with the world. Everyone talks about how we should "do research" to find if a project is a scam or not but not like projects tell you that they are scams. Thankfully I rarely join new projects that looks shady, but usually don't join into new projects all together.

So, by the time I go into a project, that project is already few months old and people know about it. But at the end of the day, we are talking about something that is not tangible and we do not know how well it will be or not. I guess all we have to do right now is to figure out a way to know if a project is fake or not and there is no method to find that out.

scam has always been there and whenever there is a new hype the scammers will always try to find a way to scam gullible investors, this way I avoid the bounty and altcoin section. Indeed one needs to be careful before choosing a project to invest in and try as much as possible not to get Carried away with the hype, metaverse is a new development and a lot need to be studied about it before investing in it, don't be greedy and don't be lazy to search about a project.

We know that there are all kind of scams happening that have nothing to do with metaverse coins, but scammers are very smart, they follow the money and now they are seeing that the majority of the money is flowing to those kind of coins, so they are creating scam coins related to the metaverse in order to try to maximize the money they can scam out of people, and as soon as the hype ends and another kind of coin is the one that gets the most hype you can be sure they will switch to those coins as fast as they can.

That's just part of what I said. Even though the coin doesn't have meta in its name doesn't mean that it's not a scam coin. As what I previously said, even if the coin name have meta in its name or not as long as the team or person behind it is a scammer then it is a scam coin but some coin with meta in its name is not a scam when the team or person behind the coin is planning to run a company then it's not a scam. Scammers need to be smart to be able to scam their victim's money that is why some scammers go along with the trend.

Well thank you for that advice, --this is pretty normal in the crypto space, a trend project will sometimes have a clone to fool people and get into the trap.
People or any young investors should stick on the projects that already exist, if you want to gamble your money then --you go for it. Investing in new projects seems to gamble in my point of view. We know scammers are getting smarter each year, they also level up just to fool people, even from the black hat to red hat scammers.

Different tokens come to the market in the same way that the hype goes on in the market.  The same hype has been created around the Metaverse project.  Metaverse project means Strong project is actually a complete misconception in the current situation because most of the projects that are coming nowadays are becoming scams.

It is no longer "inu" now it is "meta" although I can't say I have come across any project with that initial. However, it is not surprising though that scammers will utilize the popularity of the real 'Meta' to create fake project with similar name to scam investors.
I will advise everyone to be cautious and be more observant because some scam projects can appear very solid and standard but that is only in disguise.

What we need to realize is that META is temporary and not a long term deal. I am seeing a lot of people who say that what we are seeing as META right now is not the real meta and it will become something better and that is when it will be really profitable.

The reality is that when something is hyped, it's hyped and when it is not hyped then there is no money to be made from that.

This means that people are hyped about meta right now, when there are no proper meta games, and after 5-10 years when we have amazing meta games, it will become the boring reality, and not exciting future, so it will not be hyped as much as it is hyped right now. So do not invest in meta long term, even bitcoin itself would be better.

Many companies now try to create their own metaverses but a lot depends how all the ideas willl be realized.
If metaverses will become very useful for people and many people will use them the popularity of metaverses only inrease.
A lot depends on opportunities that metaverses give for people.

Everybody speaks about Meta, that is why meta so popular and in demand.
Meta allow people to communicate with each other, to interact and earn money.
Also they allow to spend a good time by playing.

ou've probably heard the hype: the metaverse is going to change the way you live.

A vision for the next step in the internet's evolution, the metaverse refers to digital worlds in which people will gather to work, play and hang out. Some of those online spaces will be immersive 3D experiences and require fancy goggles to enjoy. Others will play out on a computer screen. The term's been in flux, and might still keep evolving and renaming itself.

Tech hype cycles come and go. The metaverse could fizzle before it's even realized. As of yet, however, interest continues to grow. Across gaming, NFTs and shopping, it's become a repeated buzzword.

Metaverses are actively used for gaming. Gamers actively communicate between each other and metaverses make the communication more simple and comfortable.

The opportunity to earn money in Metaverses attract a lot of people to it.
Also Metaverses offers a lot of opportunities for people to communicate with each other and to interect with each other.

Metaverses very popular because many big companies create metaverses and actively promote them.
Metaverses allow people to earn money and communicate interacting with each other.

The more people use metaverses the more demand in them. Now many metaverses very popular and are actively promoted.
They allow people to earn more money and offer a lot of different opportunities.

Yes, there are lots of opportunities that Meta could offer but to be honest, most scammers are also using it as an opportunity to fool people since it's in demand. They're using it as a chance to get more money from investors and turn into a bubble after taking what they want so investors should also be smart and vigilant.

Digging deeper and more thoroughly in learning is a good idea to stay away from scammers and this seems to be a good reason. I think there are too many scammers in the name of "meta" because at this time the metaverse is still highly glorified because the market capitalization is still very high.

I don't think META is a temporary deal. Judge for yourself, a large-scale rebranding, which costs more than a million dollars, will not be made for the sake of a temporary deal. Obviously, this is part of a long-term vision for the company. There is a huge amount of money and investment put into it. I think the rebranding was not in vain and the name was chosen appropriately. It marked the beginning of a huge new branch of the digital industry, which will grow more and more over time.

Scammers will always triggering new trend, after end of hype they will shift to triggering other trend. After defi, metaverse is another trendy platform where People are keep victim by scammers cause people invest to multiple their capital without looking potentialities. But when good Metaverse project suffer to fillfill their roadmap, when how people expect that new shitcoin could succesful in this field!

I think the idea of META-verse was not come from scammers.
Scammers just using new ideas from the others to steal other people's money.
If there are some hypes of new concept in cryptocurrency, we should be careful because scammers can use that to make scam project and bait us.

The opportunities that offer metaverses continue to increase. Such opportunities attract a lot of people and their attention to metaverse.

That was not the thing I saw with these metaverses, not also for the NFT projects as some of them are worth to invest. Coz if that you think was right, nobody will invest these crypto project but somehow, people had seen it different from yours. We can't hide the fact that some of them are profitable.

We never say it was going to fail, not this time. Like ICO projects, some went dead but some also survive, metaverse will likely it looks the same.

Meta is everywhere :)
It is a popular modern trend.
Metaverses are cretated buy many different companies to offer users more opportunities including the opportunity to earn money.

Now many people pay attention to cryptocurrency and the abilities its offer.
Such abilities can be used for creation of Metaversed.
Cryptocurrency in not just a means of paymant. It can be used in different spheres to offer people more opportunities.

The more people use Metaverses the more popular they are.
Metaverses actively developing offering people more opportunities. Such opportunities very popular and attract a lot of users and a lot of money to Metaverses.

Metaverses allow to communicate people, interact people and allow users to earn.
That is why they are so popular and in demand.
The ability to earn money attract people to metaverses and unite them.

Development for Metaverse is very important. Now a lot of Metaverses appear and the competition among them is very high.
To win the competition it is necessary to constantly develop the project to realize all planned ideas.

What I have noticed from here is that the price that goes down on the S8 coin and depending on the size of the coin is huge, but there is a small risk that there is a risk of losing all the deposits and no matter how good a trader you are from here.  Your luck will come once or twice but it will not stay with you forever. I think it is nothing more than a gamble.

I dont think in this case everyone is scam because metaverse projects are hype now and project maker interested in this sector they just wants to make their project more valuable and they make on metaverse project and meta define project very well so they focus on that name!! Yah their is lots of scam token in this name but not everyone is same like scam their is also some good project on this name!!

It all comes down to your risk level. If you have a low risk appetite invest in BTC and some of the top 100 alts like ICP and SOL. If you are looking to go from rags to riches throw a hail marry and put your funds in microcaps like DRC, ATRI, and 0xMR.

Metaverse play to earn games have gained big demand from the market even at its early stage. And since its still very hot these days, scammers are now starting to create plans that will use metaverse projects to take advantage of its users. So always DYOR whatever new that comes out in the market and always be cautious on the simple acts of scamming. Scamming will be prevented if we all take precautionary measures to avoid it.
