If disgusted with scammers I think that's good, but if we blame beginners who don't understand anything, I think it's too much. because the beginners here need guidance from seniors to go towards a better direction. therefore we should not always blame beginners in building their confidence. even many beginners are victims of scammers.
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Get used to these scam projects anyways, all you need is to avoid or ignore them, there is no effective way to get rid of scam projects, it's never going to work, just do good diggings and you will be good , only lazy ass will get ruined by scammers

Categorically this industry is full of some good and bad projects across board and if time not taken one could easily fall prey to their scamming. As a newborn to cryptocurrency, you're advise to always study hard in order to distinguish good bounty or airdrop from the bad ones promoted or promoting by scammers all over the places.

This scam was just too obvious to have know by these newborn that, these types of bonus from a good project will not as high as it was. 50% discounts is very pretty much to see as true discount.

That is really true, only a lazy user who will fall to scam project more and more. You don't need a long time ti understand and spotted the legit and scam project because as far as I know there some threads who tell you about how to spot and differentiate the scam/legit project. I think this forum is not like most another forum, you have a chance to get money but you need to learn as well how to get it so as you will really get money. I have never find this kind of forum out there, you have to be grateful to know this forum.

Many newbie accounts with capital Cooper member has become a bounty manager even though the new account is made do we just believe it? Even though the newbie has not fully understood cryptocurrency, I was a little doubtful if there was a bounty that was managed with a newbie account with a cooper member.

Projects that make large discounts on sales will not be good or even tend to make no sense if in the future it will definitely be badly dumped because many tokens are owned because of the discount.

I don't think those with cooper members are not new. I just think they are managers with a bad reputation who use new accounts to get more participants.

it can happen, and it's not a fraud because some large exchanges have sold btc or altcoin at a 50% discount but for MAP this can scam or not see it later
If reputable exchanges will sell big discount then no doubt to get offer and as per as it’s very transparent way. MarcoPolo Protocol is new project how we can believe. MAP give away competition is conducting in the KucoinPlay platform i think this is not scam project. KucoinPlay didn’t list the project if looking fraudulent.

Only new comers and fools will fall for that trick, well those scammers will not stop from deceiving others even if they may themselves look like a fool too but just like what I  have said there are still investors or people who fall for this kind of simple tricks also they don't limit themselves to this tricks known professional scammers created a platform, project, website, held an ICO or IEO and even run a bounty campaign but they need so much time and effort for this.

Just like they have said experience is the best teacher and I think through their mistakes they will  be able to learn a valuable lesson.

Last week, I found an airdrop project in Telegram called Marco Protocol, the airdrop looked decent at the first stage, I earned 200 MAPC tokens and that was instant! But you only can withdraw from your MAP wallet when Airdrop program will end, that's good, I am okay with it. Their airdrop tweet got 8K retweet and 9K likes, so, you can understand how hype it had!
But yesterday, they announced they are going to sell Bitcoin at a 50% discount to celebrate the halving. Can you imagine? 1 Bitcoin price is 8600 USD, people can buy by 4300$! I believe This is absolutely scam but many newbies already have fallen for that! As they saw MAPC has huge support in twitter, and they listed on CMC too.

50% off announcement: https://t.me/MAP_POB_channel/87

Well, getting engage into any airdrop event is such a privilege which I can remember way back the good old days of year 2017 wherein lots of projects do offer bounty campaigns as well as airdrop events to promote their token for that specific project. Nowadays, it seems rare to find an airdrop that is legible and reliable in a sense that you can do really have earn a token with desirable value because there are some cases that tokens being brought into airdrop cannot be withdrawn or does not have a real value at all.

Talking about the 50% discount to avail having 1 Bitcoin for just half a price seems to be already suspicious at first glance because who will sell 1 Bitcoin for such price? The aim of that scheme is just to collect money on my perception which is really obvious and if you are already stayed for long in this industry, you will not fall for that. Maybe newbies will but if they would take some time to think about it, it was really obvious that it is impossible. So the important thing is that you must be able to let yourself be knowledgeable as a newbie if you want to avoid getting scammed so that you can enjoy your journey in the crypto community.

Almost 95% airdrops are scams and scammers are doing new ways for cheating with hunters. We should be careful about such type of fake airdrops. They collect our valuable information and can hack our PC or wallet. Don't connect your wallet in this type of airdrops.

What is in for the team or what do they stand to gain through such? This is the first question that should always come to mind in this type of cases. Even if they are too generous, selling Bitcoin at 50% discount is enough reason to show the users or members that something is wrong. Well as humans, we all know people will fall for that mostly because it is Bitcoin without taking time to ask questions. I see it as this; they used the airdrop to attract users, made it as attractive as possible, have good twitter activities then showcased their true intentions which is make money off gullible users. Let people always try and look beyond whatever that is being showcased and ask the right questions because scammers are getting wiser and looking for more ways to scam.

I did not find much information about this project, Marco Protocol. If you initially believed in this project, it seems that after they came with the BTC offer, they themselves showed that they are SCAM. They are probably not very experienced in SCAM projects. I rarely attend an airdrop. Once these airdrops were profitable, today they are just a waste of time.

Yep, 99% of them will turn out to be scams or worthless. It's all about finding the 1% or "Diamond in the rough" airdrop that will bring you good monies.

Make sure to always backup your crypto seeds and passphrases friends

this is a word of wisdom right here
airdrops are the worst because most of the people think they can't lose anything since there is no payment to hop on to it.

Not only you, everyone (crypto ethusiast, professionals etc) are all fed up with scammers , why ? Because it feels bad to hear news of people been deceived and defrauded, likewise it feels bad to lose your funds to scammers.

When you refer to newbies, you cannot be fed up with newbies, instead you need to encourage them and show them the way; teach them the basic safety guidelines, so that they can even become better and contribute massive positivity to the crypto currency space.

In most cases, they'll just collect our ERC-20 address and the email ID. It can be irritating to get spam mails in the email ID and dozens of spam (promotional) tokens in the ERC-20 address. But that is still OK compared to the second type of scam airdrops. This type redirect us to various phishing sites and if we fall in to this trap, then all of our ETH and the ERC-20 tokens will be stolen by these criminals.

The number of frauds is one of the reasons I don't want to participate in airdrops anymore, because now airdrops are not something that is beneficial to the participants and even can be very detrimental to us because now many airdrops are asking participants to do KYC and the data we provide can they just use it wrong.
 And well as the airdrop which requires us to register a personal wallet in the bot of course it is very risky for we because  them to be able to freely access our wallet in the future.

Lol
This is a red flag man you need to stay away from their sell offer and focus on the bounty/airdrop campaign they have going on. No project has been able to make such offer even Bch or BSV which are forks of Btc.

Once again, a rather strange name that does not correspond to the content of the topic. Who will sell bitcoin at half cost, for what?

After all, a project can easily give everyone $ 10 for a post on Twitter or for joining an official channel to telegrams.
The effect will be exactly the same. Spending such a huge amount of money to attract new users is simply not practical. It all sounds like some kind of trick.

Scammers and newbies are two things the space can't do without. Provided there's life and cryptocurrency thrives, scammers will always look forward to scamming those not vigilant. What we should do is be ready to resist scam when it pops it's head.
