Some people think that bitcoin is a scam as a result of their frequent encounters with fraudulent activities using bitcoin, and sometimes, bitcoin platforms. No matter how genuine bitcoin as a currency is, frequent encounters of scam with it or its platforms can change people's mind to consider it as a total scam without distinguishing between bitcoin and scam, but that is not appropriate. For example, for the fact that pound or dollar is a genuine currency, does not mean that scammers can not use them for scam, likewise bitcoin.
This is where a proper trading and money management system comes into play to gain profits .
Well, this depends on our perspective too. For those who have read what BTC is and what it is for, it will be very easy to understand, it's just that some people still like to read stupid news that criticizes BTC, for example news about the last big correction is always fried by the media.
