It really is hard to believe that there are some ICOs who are intended to scam people. There are all hypocrits and rely on the weakness of people especially those who are new to bitcoin. So sad.
It's a shame when you realize that you are the very beginner who can get caught on scams projects. And it is used by those who conduct them. Unfortunately for newcomers, there is no protection from such projects, and the Oldies too.
How is that a shame? Isn't it normal? instead of blaming the incapability and insufficiency of the beginners why not try to say preemptive measure to make sure that no one will ever fall into scam again?
