I just don't agree that scams rule in a bear market. There are actually more scams during a bullish market based on what I have experience ever since.

And yeah, what is happening right now depends on how people approach it. Some will and leave and few would stay, only few would invest on startups presales or launches but what more important is what does the project offer or what is their utility. Because a strong project with an amazing utility will stand whatever kind of market it is up to. And this bear market will always turn to be good for those who stays and put their patience and hope on each of their respective projects and it will never be  a waste of time.
