Projects that are seen as active can end up being scams like big projects that are scams, yes, you all know Terra LUNA!,
Previously, LUNA had a community, very active developers, and their CEO was also very kind.
however it all just disappeared after one problem appeared, that's how terrible the crypto world is, and you know what to do
luna is another different thing, yes this is very active project but the disaster was brought by the very founder of luna himself, in which destroy the entire coin.
i still think that investing in active project is much of essence, basically one of many reasons that these project could be considered good, just because the project is quite active and not only for short time but long time like having continuous development in general.
