With what I can understand what altcoins are now wasn't what they were before, it was more productive, more realistic and made getting on board cryptocurrency more diverse you don't always have to base on Bitcoin.
But the problem now are different. Everywhere is filled with altcoins the more populated it becomes the More exposed it is to drop in utility.
While all this problems are happening to altcoins we also can part of this issue. Shielding, advocating and support project that are clear to fail for any financial gain or so on.
By standing with those sort of project you can
+Get investors scammed or regret why they invested
+ Lose your credibility as a cryptocurrency enthusiast
+ Make the altcoin sector become a total joke
And many vices.
Let's become more responsible with our action for a good course
I get your point that we must not be defending or shielding as well as promoting into public those scam projects to lessen or avoid other people to get victimized by those. But the problem that we must need to surpass is identifying those scam projects to be able to let other people know that it is a scam or not. Nowadays, scam projects are also improved into a more organized and detailed to the point that it is more believable compared to the old times that is why you might see it as a legible one. If we can only be able to detect those by just a single glance, why not we tell it into public? Who wants to be scammed and let other people scammed knowing that you already know a project is a scam? No one. Unless you are selfish or cruel to tell other people about it and you are just saving your own self. The problem must be faced on its first base on knowing first if the project is a scam or not by having tough proof to support your claim and by that time doing action not to tolerate such existing projects like that out there.
