many people buy even knowing that the coin is scam, just to flip it asap.
that's what that BSC tokens mania was about.
if you're not willing to gamble like that, then just stick to big cap coins or new coins that have well known backers like polychain capital or coinbase
Yeah, it's too risky. I prefer to choose coins that have promising prospects in the future. however, when the coin becomes a scam, it is very difficult to track it down until we know that it is a scam. because when the swindlers really intend, then almost anything made is good enough. however, doing research is the right thing to know if it could be a scam or not.
it is difficult to identify a coin will be a scam or not. sometimes the project seems to be convinced that it will be good in the future, but all of that was planned by the dev and eventually ran away with investors' money. indeed, if we don't want to be like that, it's better to invest in coins with large caps, because all of that is a risk
