Developers should stop taking investors as fools, you cooked your project up to your taste and everything seem fine enough but because you are too greedy and can't take your eye off DeFi success you decide to switch your project to DeFi. Seriously are investors stupid enough to go along with your obvious trick? To all developers who are doing this, it's a complete slap to your faces, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
Well, unfortunately, some developers are doing this because of the fact that they know they could fish out some big investors to invest on them, then probably would leave that investor to create another project that would not branch off from their original idea. Its a totally dick move but its one of their ways to gain money.
At some point, people would really stop pointing fingers at them and just start to start chaos everywhere since that will be all the things that they will start seeing unless people would really step up to stop them by verifying their projects? (I guess)
The cycle is just going on, This kind of scheme is what happened to most of ICO projects before. We don't know if the project team and the developers that run away before from this scheme using ICO came back and being feeling lucky that a new born trend is here for them to gather money again.
Well, Some investors in DeFi projects are just there for profit share and the unfortunate ones (Investor with no idea what they are doing) who will most likely be the late one and the one who will lose some money. The unknowledgeable is always the loser in this ecosystem.
