Why do people think everyone is a scam?

[SimasB]

I think when there's no regulation behind it, people are more suspicious. Also, the current market players don't want additional competition from the market.

[Aldritch]

It seems as though there is a predominant attitude about people trying to do business that most people are scammers. We have run into this time and time again, accusing us of running "dirty" money or stolen goods.
We put ads or offers in various places saying "vetted buyer" and "respected escrow" and still get negative comments from people that don't even want to do business. They would just rather demean and abase and not add any positive thoughts.
I will say that we have had pretty good success in spite of the naysayers. Doing business in this way is new to most people and seems foreign. But we have plodded through and have achieved a success that has proved that not all are wrong.
There are people all over that are looking for honest services, and we have carved a niche for that entity. We know that there are scammers out there, but we are working to elevate us to a position of reknown.
Not all offers are scams!

I think there are people really afraid to try a project about cryptocurrency. They may also have experience with scams. so they do not trust other people especially in projects about bitcoin.

You can't blame people for that. Of course investment requires money, and people must be cautious since there's a lot of scam that is going on around us. A lot of people also want instant money, that is why a lot of people scam other people and a lot of people get scammed.

[YzzyGo]

Right. People will believe almost anything on things that they don't understand themselves. Especially if it's in the news. Where everything is up to misinterpretation and context. Best way to help is speak our truth no matter how small a difference we do.

[bristlefront]

It is because they're still new and still have doubts about something they do not intend to learn to. If their friends introduce bitcoin improperly then they are still filled with doubts about it. Sometimes who still haven't receive a payment yet are still doubt-able for some new users and needs payment to be shown in order for them to think that bitcoin is not scam and just a pure cryptocurrency.

[EnricoGomez]

You cannot really blame people. Money is something they have worked hard on and most cannot afford a loss to a scam, you are literally giving away free money to scammers. Tons of scammers related to cryptocurrencies especially have emerged to the fact that it is quite technical and not all people can understand the field, making them an easy target.
Knowledge, y'all.
Base your knowledge on truthful facts to render your decisions wisely and profitable. Never be fooled with good to be true promises on investments.

We can't blame the people who got scammed by the scammers in the internet or even in the real life because they are greedy enough to get scam because they always want easy and fast money making scheme and they fall into those schemes that the scammers made for them and the lesson for this is to don't be greedy and always stay on your line and just focus.

I think people thinking everyone is a scam because people incountered to scam so that people dont have a trust and scared to losses of money and i think also people dont trust in other people so that maybe if the people want to invest or buying he/she want to sure so that the money will not be loss.

[reyanshbasu]

Because a lot of people have no knowledge about crypto world, they not try how helpful investing in bitcoins and some altcoins always believe in fake news, but we cannot please or blame people for what they want to do because we have different mindset and decision in life and mostly more people want an easy making money but this people earn low profit. They don't want to take a risk in this kind of investment.

[CryptoGirl.y]

Not so long ago bitcoin was in its majority a haven of drug dealers and people unclean on hand. Since it is convenient to pay crypto-currencies anonymously. Now the situation has changed dramatically and bitcoin is basically a speculative asset, but "bitter glory" from the past has been pursued by bitcoins and crypto-currencies until now.

[Dimid]

The fact that bitcoin is made up of scammers is just a stereotype from the past when it was used to pay for illegal actions. Now, of course, too, use, but to a greater extent at the moment bitcoin and crypto-currencies are used by ordinary people. Although even now there is enough scam-ICO and projects where investors are deceived. But every year there are fewer, people are clever and now no longer bear money in all the shod.

[supergorg27]

Sad to say but we cannot blame anyone here because of what is happening in our environment, there is truly a lot of scammers around so that's why we are just careful in every moves that we've done to avoid blaming ourselves at the end.

[Da Cambodia]

For me you can't blame the other people to think that everyone is a scam because nowadays we lived in this world full of strangers people .

[Janation]

That is how powerful media is. They are like manipulating the information they got and tell it to the people in the way they like it in order to also manipulate people. The obvious reaction of people into this is to think that Bitcoin is a way so scammers can get money out of people so they will be avoiding the crypto currencies.

There are ico's who are scamming their own participants at the past and because of that, rumors are built by time but still we can join other ico's because not everyone is scamming their own participants or promoters.

[kiloiko]

You can't blame people for this. In fact, I would actually advise anyone to assume that every opportunity is untrue until vetted by themselves. There's also a lot of wisdom to that all-too-familiar phrase "if it's too good to be true..."

Anyway, I'm responding to say you shouldn't take it personally. We all started out with difficulties, but the thing to learn is patience and openness. From the beginning, be fully transparent and clear about communicating your message.

If you say you have a trusted escrow, then name the escrow and let the person vouch for you. If you're saying vetted buyer, then present the details for the public to vet.

Question all your own offers first, find the weaknesses, before making it public. Good luck.

Simple as it as. Almost all of us here have one way or the other experienced some level of scam even on a high scale that no one would have thought. It is the way the internet space is and I wonder why someone would just pop out from nowhere with a service that involves holding of money and expect questions not to arise as a scam. He should only be able to find a way to defend himself or probably find a way to stand out from not being a scam but as long as he is not able to do that, no one would just fall for something like that.

The scamming rate has increased with the passage of time. Majority of people take internet activities casually. This is why the scammers are most of the time successful in their aims. It is not very difficult to plot a fraud but people ignore usual signs.  A scam will always offer big rewards for doing small efforts. Crypto world is also having many fraud coins like Centra was a trap.

[onrise]

Regulation in place will really help the people to feel more safe as their would be laws in place and if any one try to scam will end up in the prison or some penalty would be imposed and thus they would not try to cheat people and make in such way.

[wozzek23]

People are distrustful of crypto-currency, and some consider it even fraud, because most of them are not directly looking for information about it and are not acquainted with it in more detail, but content with the information that is sometimes given in the media and comes from state and banking structures. And such information is not always accurate and not always true. This is especially true of information coming from banks, which directly try to divert people from using crypto currency. Not always objectively in this respect are the mass media, which sometimes provide customized information.

We must know the credibility of a certain coin before investing in that because anonymous coins may scams and take your money. You can do nothing against them. Better to invest in well-known crypto like bitcoin, Ethereum, litecoin, ripple and keep aside to buy such coins which are not famous. By this way we can secure ourselves from big scams.

you're right, it's just that sometimes investors are more tempted by the profits that promised a project in comparison to pay attention to the activity of the project. well, many are exposed to a scam because of it, and then they think that it's all a scam.

Too many events and projects become scam, that's why many investors have the mindset that some projects that many people have are scam, maybe it's because of the bad experience that's happening to them, so it's smart to choose a safe and potential investment is that a matter things and very important

They only do so due to the lack of knowledge. Entry to the market requires certain eligibilities which if not met, will result in loss. The newbie after facing loss starts calling the technology scam. One needs to research about the technology before investing. Also some knowledge of economics and finance will add to the probability of success. The long term and short term plan is also of prime importance in the business. An eligible guy will be efficient enough to play the game in the market which of course always results in profit, will never call the technology scam.

[BitcoinMarketer39]

I don't think so but to my mind the answer is obvious because the number of scams has increased. It is difficult to define who is who. That's why a lot of people think that it is necessary to be careful with everyone

There are different people in the community and some do not really believe on cryptocurrency or maybe they have a bad experience from it and that is the reason why some of them are creating fake news or black propaganda's.

This is natural for people to belief everyone is a scam this is because there are lots of media who are giving fake news to everyone via television, radio and social media that states bitcoin is a scam. Bitcoin actually is not a scam but it became because it was being used by scammer to scam people to invest big amount of money due to the huge profit offered.
