So how you get duped? I will like to learn reasons from you.
I was cheated several times, unfortunately it was a very sad episode for me. I bought an altcoin where the Dev made several promises, I believed altcoin would go to the moon, but the devs ran away with funds to develop the project and altcoin fell a lot and with that I lost 90% of my money. then I went to buy verge that I believed the partnership they would make was something revolutionary until I knew they were partnering with a pornographic site. After that I started to avoid investing too much money in altcoins. The truth is that it is very difficult not to be deceived in this crypto world. Most people who create projects are dishonest and unethical people.
The moral of the story is that do not invest in new coins and projects. There are enough good coins in coinmarketcap and we should only invest in those top 100 good projects. I have seen a victim of few ICO where i spend some good amount but the token never make it to the exchanges. I have learnt my lesson well and now i do not invest in any ICOs.
