Those who are in the crypto space for over 5 years can actually understand the question more clearly than others.
Even a one-year-old investor who reads a lot and can analyze the market situation and condition from the past til now can understand the question, you don't have to be a 5-year experience as an investor, everything is all recorded losses and gains.
We have seen that from the last 2/3 years, each day new and new coins are introduced in the market and many of those coins claimed that they are depended on actual utility, etc their ICO price is even higher as well when they list the coin on an exchange then the Initial price almost start from $0.5 - $1 or above like EWT/VICA, etc and there are many others, but at the end, their prices dumped to a very low like reached to bottom and some of those coins even disappeared from the exchanges, CMC and even their websites are deleted.
Because they cannot keep up and their utility is not gaining ground and support from the community, because it's outdated and they only target a small portion of the community, it's always been utility but a utility that can benefit the majority.
On the other hand, we saw there are coins that are considered MEME coins like Doge, and their price are low, everyone can buy them, and also they are still present on the TOP exchanges.
So, the main issue here is that Senior Crypto users/Investors/Trades can predict the price of new coins, read the White Paper and then take decisions regarding investment, but the problem is for the Newbie/New users as they don’t have enough knowledge and can’t be able to predict/analysis the price and at the end, they just lose the investment.
How to stop that kind of scam? And what is the proper way to save the Newbie from the honeypot?
No one can accurately predict the price of the coin, and so-called senior investors many times failed in their prediction even experts, the only way to stop the scam is to only bet or invest coins that have proven their worth in the market and stop investing in pump and dump coins that have no platform attach to it.
