The altcoin market has become scammer's playground

[gabbie2010]

The cryptocurrency space has always been thought to be a haven for money laundering and with the decentralisation feature of the market, scammers are bound to take advantage of the opportunity and deceive naive or ignorant investors. The onus lies on us to gain knowledge about the industry before investing.

Being deceived by scammers is a risk or a recklessness that at first we were just negligent without seeing and analyzing it first so that everyone can immediately fall into the trap of scammers who always give very tempting offers, so the solution is only one, don't believe too much in everything the new one.

Improper research is one of the  major cause of investors being scammed, imagine a shit coin pumped 2800% within some couples of hours that is red flag, however a lot of greedy and gullible investors whose mindset is to earn massive profits within the shortest time will always fall for this trick, no wonder Altcoins has become a breeding space of scammers who equally has victims to scam, a quick research will prevent a lot of investors from those fraudulent activities.

altcoins have always been an ideal place for a different scam, a low entry threshold with small amounts and the opportunity to earn quickly always attracts people.This is a kind of lottery, but most often only the developers of these projects remain in the black.The problem is the people who carry their money there until they stop, this problem will not disappear.Coinmarketcap today shows 8,200 projects, of which no more than 1 percent are normal projects.

Some people are not as careful as they should be. Some of them come in with the mindset that they want to make quick money and they end up losing their money at that. So, they all have to be careful and learn to calm down in this kind of thing.

People who usually fall easily to scam are people who are greedy and lacks patience, because you will be blinded by your greed and you would forget to seek the knowledge that is necessary for you to understand what you’re taking yourself into and you would definitely fall into a scam. Despite that there are so many scam and fake projects, there are also a lot of them that are really good and reliable.

Cryptocurrency we know that is been use for money laundering from rich people their is no argument for that from the starting, because since is decentralized currency it will be hard to notice that cryptocurrency is the easiest way of money laundering, that is the reason scammers find it very to deserve some people, many investors have lost their coins today due to scammers brainstorm directly to cryptocurrency, we have to be wise to know scammer is encroaching close to us

It's even happened since I first entered cryptocurrency. Usually fraudsters will duplicate a successful project or trend, then sell their coins to the public and then run away by withdrawing the LP or bringing a lot of investor money. It's sad but we know this is the risk of playing with new coins. Have a high risk.

The risk will remain forever in cryptocurrencies so this is the main thing that must be understood by everyone who is already in cryptocurrency, including in choosing a coin even though it is an old coin with very strong fundamentals in the market, it is clear that the risk will still exist even if it is not will be equal to the risk of new coins born from a new project.

As many people tend to enter cryptocurrency business, also the scammers and fraudsters wants to see a spotlight and space on how they can manage to do fraud things in such business.  They have many strategies such that many could fall into their trap and be one of their victims, like they do phising sites and other email hacking system that they can enter your crypto wallet. But now, we just have to deal from refraining from scammers so that we can't lose anything from what we invest.

Well, as years made us more smarter in dealing with scammers, i think they themselves too are also gaining more confidence in searching for people to fall as their victims. Indeed, this altcoin market has been the scammer's playground since when crypto has been recognized. But i admit, the scamming incidents right now are more controlled than those previous years as most of the investors particularly newbies are entering the market without even gaining deep knowledge on it. I can see that even newbies right now are more knowledgeable on how to handle their investments properly so they can avoid scammers as much as possible.

After the initial success of Shiba Inu coin, I am observing that the altcoin market has become a playground for the scammers in most literal sense.

There are multiple projects now, which are showing 28000% return within just few hours of launching and then showing a steady decline. There are multiple examples,

Squid games: Defunct
Shih Tzu coin: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/shih-tzu/
Solar energy: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solar-energy/
Mini BTC: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/minibtc/

Etc.

There are many others as well. It is a money laundering heaven. Don't you think such gold rush has to stop at some point. Otherwise cryptos will never be able to make its way into the mainstream world. People are buying from craps to garbages in the name of cryptos.

Voice your opinion.

It is what it is and will always happen like this because we the investors are the ones fuelling it all in the name of trying to make quick money, now most people coming into the cryptocurrency space are looking to invest in meme coins, and some new projects that they believe will jump a 1000+% in a couple of days and we have seen this too so, creators will continue to do it and rip off the desperate investors, the project dies once the take-off with your investment and the circle continues.

 I think about this situation is that anyone said that the all altcoins market are scammer its absolutely rong and i accepted that point an that time many projects come to market and they are scam for people so i extremely said the project come and going to the scam so they are clearly market is people say bad.

It is a type of survival for the fittest. Only those who understand this market and have been investing in those coins that have been worthy of putting money in for long term will survive. Same thing is seen in fiat markets too where penny stocks end up drawing newbie blood at high prices only to come down again. Those who go in for easy money only get ripped off their money.

The investors who go it when ICO market was booming have long left too. They were mostly putting in average of 100$ per project hoping it to become 10x and cover the losses from another - a type of a gamble. But it turned out that they all failed and now the investors cant even approach them legally.

The only one who is bad is the person making the decision to buy a shitcoin or be part of a shitcoin bounty. Nobody forced to join that but they did be it for the temptation of easy money or anything else.

You have to appreciate the scammers who fooled so many investors but got away without getting caught. It should be a lesson for everyone.

It's always been a playground for those scammers. Since I joined the crypto world last 2017 I saw so many projects that are scams. At that time ICO was on hype and there are so many investors that lost their money.

Also, don't be surprised if 2021 is the year of meme coin hype under the pretext - doge killer meme coin, doge replacement shiba coin, shiba replacement floki coin and so on.
I have noticed that many newcomers are attracted to meme coins which have a large supply and they think that they can earn many times over if they invest in such coins.
I'm talking meme coins - in huge supply: shiba inu guise coins, doge, floki etc.
