Are the scam projects killing entire crypto space?

[The3max]

thats why we need like ruler or police or regulation on crypto to control this one. if there is no ruler or laws to make the scammer get their punishment they just gonna do what they do, they will repeat to make another scam project

Wow, do you think the police can control what happens on the blockchain? I think it is necessary to have strict government regulations for capital raising programs from investors. Because there are so many scams through the blockchain network, many countries have banned it.

I agree because of projects that produces altcoins and turned out to e a scam it made me lose hope on every project the has a possibility of good results because you got a feeling that the project could be scam. Results are investors could find another way to create more money that is outside our crypto world. So, yes because of scams many people are sad and lossing hope just like me and with to many scams to many stop and dont invest on real and good projects that are killed because  of the scamy ones.

And as one of the investors I do my reserch(Not getting and investing a high money here because it could probably a scam) and make sure that is not a scam but still there are some who makes a project real and make it undetectable to see if it is a scam. So I  would like to share that is every investment is a gamble and being an bounty hunter you put effert in it so  that effort is your coin to  gamble with the said project.

Police?? You're funny but we only need regulation and not the police . Most of them probably doesn't know about blockchain technologies and how scammers and ICO's work.

Yes scammers are killing the crypto space so the best thing to do now is to just focus on the old coins right now especially Bitcoin and top coins in coinmarketcap.

I truly believe that the global cryptocurrency adoption that we enthusiasts crave for might not come soon as long as the integrity of this ecosystem remains washed. The centralized world are looking and as well people, are pondering if its worth venturing into with all these scams peddled left and right and if nothing is done fast to control or mitigate these, them I am afraid we will wait longer for adoption. This is my take

[MrGGates]

Like all fields where the rules are not clear, scams are easier to implement.
However, I am convinced that most projects have failed mainly due to incompetence, not by ill will. The altcoin crisis was positive because at least it allowed us to do some cleaning.

Yes, in the beginning, all the projects that were made confidently by the developer and the team had a goal, but one day when a crisis hit, the team did not have the experience to deal with it, which made the bad intentions appear in my opinion, or was tempted by instant money.

[Twinkledoe]

All scam or hack related can drops the market here but this can't kill the entire crypto space because the adoption of this will continue even some bad things really happen here still the effect of that in some users worldwide is not good like they will not try this like they will judge this already like we know this is risky investment like they will think that this is not legit

We can't remove the fact that there are really scammers and cheaters in this industry. But it won't stop the crypto adoption. The legit projects backed by known companies will give the credibility to deal with cryptocurrencies from the masses like the Libra of FB and TON by Telegram. We can't say that they are scammers as they are being backed by solid companies. They will bring more crypto adoption because they are already established companies and have huge following in their respective social media channels.

Of course, there will always be users who will be hesitant towards crypto because of the negative situations that they are reading but as time goes by, they will learn why someone is being scammed and will know the benefits of crypto over its disadvantages.

That's because they never anticipate the market change, they keep thinking on the passive effect of the market.
Many crypto projects today turns into dead and aren't sure if there is a time that it will turn back into the race once we hit for another bull run. How it badly to say that these projects really disappointing everyone and it ruins the entire crypto but that's all their story. It is better to forget those and face new ones.

[coin-investor]

From my point of view, scam projects have taken away the glory of genuine projects.

Not only you but all of us here are thinking that way, and it will harm any industry where scamming is very prevalent

It's Becoming very difficult day by day to find out the legitimacy of the projects.

the easy way now is to stop investing in ICO and go for IEO or just buy when it the market, that solves the issue

I think, regulations will solve the topic to a great extent

People are asking but nothing's coming, because we still don't have an idea how regulations will happen

[silverleafy]

Yes, most of them have negative impact to the crypto ecosystem.
When you tell someone that 99% of ICOs are pure scam, will it make a good impression? I don´t think so.

[JCviggen]

I think 99 percent are just speculations. in the early stages, we can only understand that 50 percent of the projects will be scammers and another 30 in a year -1.5. I think it’s very difficult to describe ICO scam statistics now

[Lance203sin]

Unfortunately, some people thinks that crypto = scam.
Its hard to change this point of view due to a lot of scam stories in media

[DDante]

News of scam in crypto space is what making total crypto noobs thinks that crypto is scam, its really making crypto looks bad for those who haven't enter crypto or new to crypto, i will see how long this is going to go because i can feel that scammers days are out numbered, soon something will come up

[ajaymukund]

From my point of view, scam projects have taken away the glory of genuine projects.
Due to too many scams around crypto space, investors are not confident on investing in new projects. It's Becoming very difficult day by day to find out the legitimacy of the projects.
This in turn affecting the projects and result of this is not raising the funds as expected and required for further development of projects. This is daviating projects from their roadmap which is resulting in too much delay or even failure.
Kissing interest in investors is somehow obstacle to growth and further research of dApps projects.
I think, rugulations will solve the topic to great extent, but is there any other way to stop the scamming and not just going away from it?
Please apply your thoughts.

The only way to prevent fraud is to protect yourself. because many people will equip themselves with knowledge to avoid investing in promising fraud projects and you must do so.
Reading lots of books and reading news daily will make you more alert to phishing projects.
I was cheated on 3 ICO projects in 2018 and now I am no longer cheated, my advice is to read a lot and work as a team.

[sjbi]

Yes scam projects will surely affect the entire crypto space and it will affect genuine crypto projects. But genuine projects will eventually get a success no matter what impact scam projects have on them. I think regulations are the right way to discourage and stop scam projects from cheating and affecting the entire crypto market.

[Mysteryla]

The easiest way for a genuine project to raise adequate fund for it's product is to apply for IEO listing on a big and reputable exchange, else there might be difficulty in raising fund. Which means it will be affected by the general notion of other projects being scam. Irrespective of what might have been caused in the past real problem solving projects are still making headway in the cryptospace.

[7788bitcoin]

Of course that's a main reason. Many noobs are scared of increasing in crypto because they have heard their friends losing their money in coins which are dead now and in projects in which people have run away with money.

Why to take the risk and invest in shit coins when you have bitcoin, many are lured into investing into these shit coins thinking that they could make a big profit because they lost the opportunity to invest in bitcoin when the price was low and that ego will force them to invest in these shit coin projects and that was the main purpose for these scammers.

[DAVETUN]

Until the crypto community takes drastic step against, individual involve in scam project, we will continue to have the bade experience in the space, I suggest a pool to be created that will require KYC before ICO/ IEO can commence, with this  developers can be trace and  be charge incase it was observe they  are scammers.

[Coltpython]

Yes. Scam projects are the reason why the bear market lasted so long. If only 40% of ICOs last year have started their projects and still in operations, you can be sure that many investors will take interest in it and the price of crypto will go up in general. But cases of scam are a drawback. Also the news about loss of funds when someone loses his or her private key also terrifies investors. Remember that CEO that died with his private key while holding the assets of several investors? That is the kind of thing that scares investors away from crypto

[Cryptrx]

Yes scam projects are killing the entire cryptocurrency space. An investor who gets scammed, tells his friends everyone stay off cryptocurrency we keep losing potential users.

You should think another possibility too consider about the fact not os many peope have more than ten thousands dollars to buy bitcoin. These small investors are looking for something that can bring a big profit. If they have a lot of money and they will buy everything include bitcoin dude.
I can say it's not a good thing to blame these small investor caused by their ego. They have different opinion about that.
