Sometimes, education needs time - and money. 
You are wrong on this.
Education always needs time.
My intention was to emphasize learning to avoid such obvious scams because common sense should already teach us to stay away from it - even after losing money once (because someone shilled Terra Luna in our board a few days ago). I was embarassed.
So, for some people with a lack of education it's costing money. (because it's taking time to do research). And for some, it's costing money twice.
Should be more accurate.
Money, I don't know.
Sending money to an obvious scam (i.e. to good to be true) = money will be lostBut I guess this uneducated money is a fundamental part of the price discovery of bitcoin: it's a Far West we are living in; the sheriff hasn't arrived in the city yet, but in the end, it's San Francisco we are going to build.
That's true, only few will survive: scary bear markets, terrifying FUD, shitcoins, scams and hacks, and, of course a temptation to sell early and take profits.
