Bitcoin was also brought back to life when scam investment sites thrived. I only trust the major exchanges and trade there. Be careful with your money. In the crypto space, there are thousands of scammers so be careful.
What you are saying is very strange, because Bitcoin does not depend on every site on the internet, be it fraudulent or non-fraudulent sites, Bitcoin will still be alive even though all those sites are not there, so if you say
"Bitcoin was also brought back to life when scam investment sites thrived" it will be strange for those who are new to Bitcoin, because as if Bitcoin will die if fraudulent sites don't thrive.
