That's for sure! I am also surprised by people who invest in frank scam projects. How can you throw money away when there are such promising projects of XDNA.
Now a lot of promising projects have started to appear, but there are still a lot of scam. Ithink that for those who are poorly versed in projects this is just a matter of luck.
In order not to fall for scammers, you do not need to invest in projects that carry out private sales of masternodes or promise a crazy profit margins with their masternodes. also see how active the team is on the GitHab. How much the coin code differs from the main Dash or PUVX code.
This is what I call a serious investment approach! I really like your method. I also carefully study the project development team and what they do. I like XDNA!
And usually where there's more risk, there are more rewards for those who invest in the right project. A project during the first stages won't have proved much work and its price will be low, therefore if it succeed it'll reward the first investors a lot! On the other hand, betting on something established like BTC or ETH might seem safe but it won't bring high rewards; it actually might even not be as safe as it seems since a single issue can create a sell-off (like in Ethereum's case).
XDNA is a bit special case since it's a medium-risk project, it has already proved it's seriousness with (1) timely bounty payments, (2) listings in big exchanges and (3) information websites, (4) a custom GPU-only algo, (5) a unique scaling block reward system, (6) community actions like project XDNA Research which rewards people for folding in order help the fight against cancer, (7) community games like trivias in Telegram and Discord, (8
) the 1st action of XDNA Foundation which gave financial help to a newborn baby.
So many things to count which would not be done by a scam team, and I have even omitted some minor things.
For a project like that to have the same market cap level as useless Ethereum tokens is absurd.
Yet this is the price we paid for moving away from the Keccak algo which's hashrate was controlled by a few people or a single entity. They just dumped their coins the after the fork which happened to come at the same time with a problem on Crypto-Bridge's side, this resulted in a big drop which made people fear, probably some though it was a pump & dump scheme from XDNA but by looking at the public blockchain people can see that the team's wallets were not moved.
For me who buys low this was a great opportunity! I wish you good luck too people!
