When you come here without any intent to know what you're investing in, you actually deserve to get scammed and money soaked by whales. This is a law of nature. On the bright side, keep investing, because you actually benefit the markets greatly and you will eventually generate a profit.
And BCC generated a lot of people a lot of money. It wasn't 100% scam in my eyes, very dirty yeah sure, but not a scam. A scam is when someone gives you something with 0 value in return. A lot of people made a lot of money off of BCC, The people who got "scammed" where the flock of morons who thought they could get rich quick, bought at the pinnacle with but have 0 fucking clue on what BCC was (a scheme no doubt) and got shit on.
Do your research, and you won't get fucked so hard next time.
Edit: There is much more to why BCC wasn't a scam. But i'm not going to defend that garbage, because it's right up there with XRP, STR in terms of utter fucking garbage.
A coin is a coin, and once it's on the markets it behaves like a coin and nothing else. Learn this lesson if nothing else from my post.
