polkadot is not a scam project, because in my opinion gavin wood is making develop polkadot very seriously, especially polkadot tokens are currently on the rise because many tokens associated with polkadot always increase when the token has started trading and also creates hype, and I have no doubt that next year many projects will use platform from polkadot to generate tokens to replace ethereum (erc20).
We will have to wait till someone finally will take a lense to check its details whether the project will realy suvive in the decentralize market. Once its price drop down to $1, many of its investors will jump to conclude its a scam. Is anyone seeing this DOT to be centralized?
This project said to be forkless and base on what I read the team doesn't have to fork to upgrade something. It cold be because its using sharding and its also using tons of blockchain on it mix together.
