I have seen topics and posts around with incredible amounts of misinformation. Mostly posted by newbies as their first or second post. Most people that have been in the crypto game for a while knows to take most "news" about crypto with a grain of salt. But some people that are newer to it might fall victim to fake information or fake investment "guides" that tell you to invest in some token that is, to an experienced person, obviously a pump and dump or scam coin. A friend of mine who is semi-new to this called me a couple weeks ago frantic, telling me that he had seen a prediction about some random token and told me that he might invest in it if the returns were real. He asked me if he should go for it, and I told him that he looked alot like a scam project. Its a good thing that he didnt put capital into it, because within a week of him seeing this article on the token, the website for it was gone. This is an example of how easily people that are new to this get tricked into losing their capital. Theres really nothing anyone can do about it, but I think the easiest way the prevent scams and slow them down is to educate people that are new to this.
Even before scams are already everywhere that is why those who are naive to crypto were abused. In that case if they got scam already, they will spread the thing that happened to them and become an issue. With that, other naive individual will easily believe so when the right opportunity comes to them, they will not believe on it. There lot of scams out there so we need to be very careful. It is also the reason why I did not believe early on nft games like axie. But for me, it is still OK there will are other nft's out there that are also promising.
