i take it as a lesson of bitcoin
i think the most problem of bitcoin is so many scammer around but without being scammed we don't learn about scam perfectly..gl
and more in altcoin world
but i don't agree with your statement little bit, we don't need to be scammed to learn about that
just googling and take look for information if you want invest something
for me, it's better to learn from other people case (about scam), so we can avoid it
hope good luck for you and you get more than you loose in the future
