In my opinion, any project today is almost a scam project, accounting for the majority of good projects, only about 1% of the market today, if 100 projects are released every month, there are only about 1 or 2 projects. The real growth is left when they spend some money to attract buyers as well as a small amount for liquidity and then they disappear forever with investors embracing junk coins, it's really hard to judge a high quality project all like a gamble , you red you win you black you lose everything.
No I won't agree totally that every project is scam because I have benefited from some that are cool, maybe few are though. Joining a good project is luck and that is it. You can also study the people around the project, exchange taking up the project. Overall you need some real research to invest and not just investing because others are done so.
