I feel like the quality of the people in crypto has gone down. I wasn't even in at the beginning but even when I started I remember everyone was giving out coins for free and donating to all kinds of charities, but now it's just everyone on exchanges trying to pump and dump before the next guy. I remember when ethereum came out and I thought it was a scam at the time, but even that was high class compared to the crap now.
Completely true. You stole the words right out of my mouth. It is completely true that the quality has come down a lot in recent times, but there are still a lot of legitimate coins out there which require a good bit of research to help differentiate between the legit and scam coins. Research plays a vital factor here since more and more coins continue to emerge as time passes making this an absolute necessity in my opinion.
