yes means you might be unlucky.
try again there might be our mistakes in studying the project and not all projects are scam. especially in 2019 I think there is new hope.
if he starts in 2018 maybe now he has lost a lot of investment in the new project. because indeed he came at a time when the new project was very difficult to get investment. some projects are still running and extending sales and surviving until this year. hopefully this year will be a good year for investment.
Most of those investors who failed due to the long extend bearish trends are still trying to make it work this time, trying to assess if the market
will bring them something which allow their investment to grow again, it's hard but if you are willing to take chances there's always a good outcome
if you will hold and wait.
