Now crypto is much more regulated that it was in 2017. I think it the price of crypto will grow it will be less scams.
I do not think that protection of crypto is sufficiently protected to reduce the number of scammers. They can still easily avoid liability. Thus,
While the scammers will go unpunished for their actions Scams will be a lot.
I think that investors became much more experience that they were in 2017, but if the grows of crypto will be so big like it was in 2017 the situation may repeat.
