There is always more than one possible conclusion (regardless the topic).
I don't need to agree to your conclusion just because I understand your thoughts and no I don't agree.
Seems my world is a 'little' bit brighter than yours. (No offense

)
I don't agree, that anyone who is investing in a potential scam is foolish, because if it turns out that it wasn't a scam you're the fool who missed it. Of course only invest with care in anything, especially on the internet.
I would agree with the 'fool', when you're saying someone is investing his whole money (or a very large amount) in something like this or similiar, but in this case it wouldn't even make a difference if it's a possible scam or a fully legitimate (high) risk fond.
In my eyes it's not foolish, but it has something to do with the trust in the coins and also of course with the trust in the people. Obivously there are many people out there who trust us (thank you at this point) and also some who don't. I'm repeating myself when saying, it's impossible to satisfy everybody.
For later I think it won't affect your reputation that/if you're wrong, because you're just saying what you think and have (as told by yourself) good reasons to think that way.
