The scamming will continue for as long as there will be naive newbies who believe that they can invest in "good project", and it seems there's still plenty of such people. Nowadays most people know about the dangers of shitcoins, ICO scams, pump and dump and so on, but somehow they believe that they posses the skills to avoid it. and this is where they are wrong. My advice is just stick to Bitcoin, it can't be manipulated in the long run and it's the least risky coin in this whole market.
But its hard to make money on one bitcoin.
I would advise you to analyze each project before investing in it.
why difficult? I ventured to trade bitcoin a little while ago. I can benefit even though small from the trade that I do. it is indeed risky, we must consider the bitcoin trading costs which are quite high compared to other assets. but all depends on how our abilities and skills.
