Well yes that you will be secured from scammers and hackers but you'll miss lots of opportunities and i think it is part of the risk that we're taking when we enter the crypto world, it is our job to research about the project  that we're investing with because once we found out that its a scam, we can warn others specially newbies about that specific project that only scams people and you could save other's money by your research.
But many of those opportunities are not real, even if there are thousands of coins in the market that doesn't really mean that you have thousands of options in which you could invest your money, at best you have something like 50 different coins in which you could invest, the rest are scams, bad projects or projects that are copying other coins.

So I do not really feel like I'm missing anything because I can invest in the best coin in the market which is bitcoin and in a few other good altcoins like ethereum.
That is true, we should only focus on the few cryptocurrencies in the market instead of wasting our time and effort to check all of the cryptocurrencies in the market. It is just about being wise and smart that in the long run, only the OGs and the real cryptocurrencies with working product will definitely make it at the end.

Looking on the other cryptocurrency will lead to risky investments, just only invest to the coins that already proven in the market. There were lots of good ideas that traps the people to invest but in the end it will only leads to regret and leave a bad comments to the industry.

Now that crypto is allowing us to transact globally I am questioning if we are going  to start to see more scams happen between countries. Do we need more compliance companies to step in to help major scams and illegal trafficking?

Full report: https://ciphertrace.com/articles/q1-2019-cryptocurrency-anti-money-laundering-report/
As Bitcoin grows globally, more people will invest in Bitcoin. Of course, there will also be many scams. Be careful when investing not too greedy to profit. Need to equip yourself with a lot of knowledge about digital currencies.

Today, the entire cryptocurrency market, as well as each cryptocurrency, is in the spotlight due to fraud and the use of cryptocurrency in criminal activities.  It’s not only about fraudsters who manipulate the cryptocurrency market, but also developing fraudulent projects to rob investors, but it’s also about those actions that make governments speak negatively about cryptocurrencies and try to impose rules on users where cryptocurrency users lose their  anonymity and will be forced to provide passport data.  One way or another, we will not be able to get away from reality and KYC will be mandatory for each cryptocurrency user, as well as a global check of each company that is connected with cryptocurrency will be mandatory and this will be a panacea for existing problems.

Until now, problems related to scams became a global issue, because scammers are everywhere. Not only in the crypto world.
But strangely, the deception that occurred in the crypto world was more in the spotlight in the eyes of the world, therefore ICO
projects were a scam, become negative effect on the crypto world. We as crypto supporters must try to educate newbies so we
can avoid scam, because there are many newbie victims of fraud. I hope next year the number of victims of fraud can be reduced
drastic, because I'm starting to see now that people are good at distinguishing between real and fake projects.
Even though there are a lot of scammers in the internet, you can still protect your capital if you have knowledge to the investment that you will take. There are investors who easily believe to the attractive words of scammers. You can easily find out if the project is something fishy or not if you will research it background well. There are techniques that you can use like reading the reviews of the other investors participants. In their reviews you can see if the project is legit or not.
Everyone is different but I am why past the point in which I try to figure out if a project is a scam or not, the most effective way to protect yourself from scammers and their lies is to never send them even a single satoshi, if that means that I'm going to miss investing in some of the best projects in the market so be it I do not really care anymore.

I am not going to enter the game of the scammers, I'm not going to try to figure out if a project is good or not, and in my opinion this is the only way to protect yourself completely from scammers.
Well yes that you will be secured from scammers and hackers but you'll miss lots of opportunities and i think it is part of the risk that we're taking when we enter the crypto world, it is our job to research about the project  that we're investing with because once we found out that its a scam, we can warn others specially newbies about that specific project that only scams people and you could save other's money by your research.
at least by doing our research, this will help new investors who may not have been good at researching a project. so the scam project is expected to not get investors and automatically fails by itself. if the movement is carried out then indirectly we have helped maintain the good name of the crypto world


Those investors who experienced to get scammed are also have liabilities to their selves because they let the other people to get their money. They keep blaming others but the real problem is them. They did not consider the dangers before they make investment. As a investors we should protect our money. The cryptocurrency scams are global issues and we can protect our money if we have right knowledge. Researching and studying can help us to get right knowledge that we can use to not get scam.

now ICO is not as popular as in 2017-2018, this 2019 IEO has replaced ICO,
if your intention is not to join ICO anymore it is a good idea

Agree, even though scam in crypto has become a global problem when quite a lot of people have gotten involved and lost a large amount of money but over time, the knowledge and perspectives of investors and participants have gotten better, the scam has been too easy to recognize, almost everyone has many factors to evaluate a project and plan. However, a common problem we cannot control, it is the greed of everyone, sometimes the attractiveness of money is so great, it makes people ignore the tips and criteria to evaluate projects.
Scams and frauds have been with human race since its very beginning. A man can think and act in any way he likes to, whether positive or negative. That is an entire choice of individual. With cyber space, it has become more technical for scammers to scam and more difficult for authorities to control or arrest these scams. Being a little bit smart can prevent us on internet. It is not a very difficult task.

It becomes a global issue because all involved are worldwide. Investors or victims are around the world also. Blockchain technology is good, cryptocurrencies let us live in a smaller world wherein we can transact anywhere in the world fast. These scammers exploit this advantage for their own gain.

Each of us can help if we are all going to expand educating those newbies to avoid or to lessen the chance of getting scam, people who understand well this market needs to open their doors to give extra precautions as the global problem regarding to scamming people really affecting the market. Most new investors who got victimized shared their bad experienced and no longer interested to continue investing.

Now that crypto is allowing us to transact globally I am questioning if we are going  to start to see more scams happen between countries. Do we need more compliance companies to step in to help major scams and illegal trafficking?

Full report: https://ciphertrace.com/articles/q1-2019-cryptocurrency-anti-money-laundering-report/

It is indeed an issue not only in cryptocurrency but in the whole blockchain technology. Scams are everywhere so the best way to minimize being victimized is to be vigilant and refrain from logging in to phishing sites.

Scams not only occur in blockchain technology and in cryptocurrency. It happens in any part of the world because everyone is vulnerable about being scammed. Let's just accept that we can't avoid being scammed, but we can minimize and prevent being a victim.

For me, I try to become more strict about the security of my account, based on my transactions. I do not make a transaction with someone who has a hidden identity or in short, anonymous. Also seeking information about how to avoid scammers can also help you to have a safe and secured cryptocurrency.

Always be alert in your account because many people nowadays are working hard just to fool people with their bad doings.

Basically you had some of the most brilliant minds in this market with great ideas but that were unable to make them a reality because they lacked money but since 2017 we are seeing something completely different most of those that are organizing icos do not really have any experience and do not have any idea what they're doing they just want the money and don't want to do anything for the community
I noticed that the funding of ICOs went wrong in previous years because of the competition from various groups of developers plus the scam ICO have taken the booming industry of cryptocurrency that taught the investors their lesson. Now I rarely see a succeeding ICO, probably there is a single project out of 10 that atleast reached their soft capitalization to continue bearing with the market.
This is bad news because developers will always depend on the desire of investors to risk their money in a project that has nothing to show for, but thanks to scammers and their enormous greed now investors are afraid to invest in any of those new projects.

And I'm sorry that legitimate developers are experimenting huge problems to get enough funding for their projects but we cannot deny that scammers have taken over the market of icos and the risk of investing in any of those projects is simply unacceptable.

During many ICO have been scam with lower price after listing, many people think crypto are global issues scam and look ahead with bitcoin and altcoin most terrible scam investing, how ever fault mistake by investing on ICO or IEO have contributed giving opinion to many people with scam crypto, although bitcoin and altcoin is never scam but after ICO have lower price people claim bitcoin become scam.

Users need to understand that ICOs have no relation with Bitcoin or other established cryptocurrencies. It is true that some of the well known and most popular altcoins came in to existence through ICOs (Ethereum and TRX for example), but the recent ICOs have diverged a lot from what we had during the 2015/2016 period. A boundary must be drawn between the earlier ICOs and the recent ones.
Things have changed dramatically, when icos were first created it was nothing but an attempt by good developers to get some funding for their project.

It was nothing but the idea of changing something with lacks of funding. ICOs back then were more promising than today, roughly 70% of ICOs were legit and true to their promises what has planned became real but after the bitcoin has climbed to the top it all changed and scammers took granted of the newbie investors in the market making crucial days of the entire year 2018.
