I have seen topics and posts around with incredible amounts of misinformation. Mostly posted by newbies as their first or second post. Most people that have been in the crypto game for a while knows to take most "news" about crypto with a grain of salt. But some people that are newer to it might fall victim to fake information or fake investment "guides" that tell you to invest in some token that is, to an experienced person, obviously a pump and dump or scam coin. A friend of mine who is semi-new to this called me a couple weeks ago frantic, telling me that he had seen a prediction about some random token and told me that he might invest in it if the returns were real. He asked me if he should go for it, and I told him that he looked alot like a scam project. Its a good thing that he didnt put capital into it, because within a week of him seeing this article on the token, the website for it was gone. This is an example of how easily people that are new to this get tricked into losing their capital. Theres really nothing anyone can do about it, but I think the easiest way the prevent scams and slow them down is to educate people that are new to this.
Not all the times that we could really educate out people on certain or various things specially on Bitcoin or crypto as a whole which means that they are really exposed into those so called ponzi and hyip sites out there which
do involves bitcoin or crypto as a form of payment which simply means that theyve been just dragged because of their greediness and sooner or later they would really be that exposed on whats crypto and thats
the time they would really be making out some research and see on whats the real deal and those scams that they had engage earlier on.
