Really if there is anyway to erase scammers off crypto space it would have been better, 2019 would have bring better results for altcoins if not for scam projects everywhere scamming new investors, now scammers are scaring off new crypto investors wannabe since there is no trust or whatsoever and investors don't want to lose money either, whatever the next altcoin results is going to be will not be huge as many expected due to investors not trusting new altcoins anymore, no wonder why binance launchpads are selling out in seconds.
If crypto space is just like how binance managed IEO project in return for their own reputation altcoins will be skyrocketing right now because much more money will flow in, exchanges like binance is giving out trust investment that i really hope the entire altcoin space can do the same but its a shame scammers are robbing off the trust
People who getting scammed are to be blamed than anyone because they are giving chances for the scammers to make money by their ignorance while choosing a project,don't believe on ICOs as well their project can also turns into scam.
I am not going to deny that those that lose their money to scammers share some responsibility since they are not doing their due diligence when sending their money to people that have no idea about how to make a successful project, but you cannot place all the responsibility on the victims, scammers are to blame not only for those specific losses but they are also to blame for the lack of confidence that investors have on new projects and the slow speed in which the market is recovering.
