Its shocking to me that over time huge ponzis still exist and thrive for scammers. I guess thats why im weary about ever putting money into something i understand and can vet myself without the "trust me bro" advice on investments. Not that its secure knowing a product and thinking its safe but by doing that you can sniff out scams a lot easier.
New spaces are where scammers excel at their deeds just due to how everything is new to the people - they may believe into anything because of that.
So, yeah, we should all stay vigilant. Always.
