The problem with these hype times is that scammers can get in easily especially codes can be easily found on the internet, anyone can create their own coin. The hype is real I must say, there are investors who are making tons of money during the initial listings. But the thing is, most people disregard on who are the people behind the project, and so when they leave no one really knows if they are coming back, where can you find and contact them. People behind projects are floating in money, and their investors left with empty gas tanks.

Of course, there is a lot of deception now and there are practically no guarantees. All actions that we perform are at our own responsibility. Don't trust - don't mess with the crypto space. All digital currency is still so raw material. Many hope to get money out of thin air.
That idea of "these people made money with a fake coin!!!!!" type of logic creates all these problems. There are many people in crypto that doesn't even know crypto, some of them seriously thinks that bitcoin is nothing but just a way to make more money, that causes all these problems. Reality is that in the world we live in, crypto is a very valuable commodity and we should all be focusing on how to make a better one if we can, but what do people focus on? Buying some crypto with fiat, making a profit, selling for more fiat and getting out.

This is the main reason why many fall for scams as well, because they are not after changing the world or finding something better, they are all after making more money easily and if you want to focus on making money easily obviously you are going to end up losing a lot of money which is totally expected.

yes since more than 90% are scams, i think we should check each project we invest in. i mostly prefer to investigate dex-es with credible business model and interesting options for liquidity providers
but defi is more credible and transparent concept than ico and ieo was. u r right - there r a lot of scam project, and as for me dex-es are more interesting for trading and long term investment 
besides i've found an interesting stablecoin exchange based on Curve - xsigma, do u know them?
i heard they have top options for liquidity providers, really, but i'm still cheking them

It is the same pattern that we observed with the ICOs first and then again with the IPOs. Now it is the turn of DeFi. If people are investing in these sort of project without any second thought, then we can confidently say that the money is not earned in a rightful way. I guess most of the users may be hackers or scamsters, who want to mix their coins so they can cash them out without anyone tracing the transactions.

I think not all cryptocurrencies are fraudulent, because until now there are still some projects, more than 10% of the projects are still very useful for many people and make transactions easier, although like that there is still a possibility of cryptocurrency scam so stay alert because it is part of risks when trading cryptocurrency.
Being furious in all aspect is very important to avoid beig victimized by those scammers.

Lots of projects around the market are potential to scam out, you need to be selective before placing your money if you intent to invest
with this industry, being alert and always updated will guard you in case you are part of the project that may runaway in the long run.

Come and imagine that even with 10 years of Cryptocurrency, there are still many people getting into crypto and many more are knowing it through their friends and acquaintances that are already doing stuff with crypto. With this comes many charlatans who will do everything to get a quick buck out of their endeavors and will do all types of marketing and polishing their social media presence to convince these new comers to invest. It is really the job of the veterans to guide these people and make them invest only in the right projects and coins.

When hype is placed first above other things, or when hype is at the forefront, people tend to throw away all forms of carefulness when it comes to investing in the crypto space because what matters at that point in time is to make money, and although it works in some case, while in many cases it doesn't. The thing is, Defi came with massive hype and that was the reason why many Defi projects were pumping hard, but where are they today; many are already dead or abandoned, some have been hacked and some upcoming ones exited scam. Also, that doesn't mean there are no good DeFi projects, there are, just that they are few in number and even till today, a good number of them are still coming up with few looking good. And lastly, the hype has gone down a lot, and many people are now paying good attention to upcoming DeFi projects and asking the right questions they are meant to ask. Furthermore, you are right and people ought to be careful with new projects, and moreover there are many good coins out there already in the crypto market.

That things happen when a lot of nwbies come to the market and think like every coin is gold and go to the moon!
That is why they say ALWAYS DYOR and don't follow hype blindly, also I suggest every newbie goes to the stock market for a while and then comes to cryptocurrency, Making fast money comes with high risk!

I used not to take advantage of the hypes that Defi have caused. I can forget about the 2018 drops that most of us have suffered big losses after buying during the bullish season. Not a thing to simply trust project/s as they are listed at the Defi system because not only a few of them but many are shilling that system to scam people.

Thus, we if simply put our money into them without doing some research, it means also that we are feeding them and let them scam us. There is something we can't just ignore the current situation and the risk keeps stronger as many people taking that advantage over.

It's easy to get lost when you see a lot green candles from these DeFi and Yield Farming tokens if you're a new player. Those investors who experienced the 2018 crash would have matured by now but that's not what the charts is telling me right now. Maybe they are also taking advantage of the ignorance of newbies.

Be safe. Don't go all in. I believe there are far more safer cryptocurrencies to play with other than these new projects popping up like mushrooms

I think that most people who invest in such projects understand the risks. However, they make investments in the hope that they will make a quick profit and have time to sell everything before the crash begins.
I do not feel sorry for such people, because it is because of them that the fire of fraudulent projects is kindled, as it was already in 2017.
Of course, there may be newcomers among such investors, so your advice will be necessary for them.

Here's the latest in Sushi:

It was previously reported that the developer has the sole control of $27 million token and he could sell it at anytime and he did just that. The anonymous and lone developer converted them into ethereum and says he will focus on the migration and further development of the project. He even compared the move to that of Litecoin's Charlie Lee and implied that his month old sushi will still survive even after him dumping hehehe.

As a result, he received a lot of backlash both from the investors and onlookers. Of course, you can still see a few defending his action but I think they're only doing that so sushi can fool more investors and bring the price up again. Once it's up, these 'supporters' will dump on the new investors and never return again leaving new disappointed bagholders.
I read news about the Sushi owner exit scam and it really amazing that he dumped all his holding the week Sushi rise and still said he will perform his required duties with support, Vitalik also believes the project developer to be tricky. However, all this whole situation make me believe the crypto community is getting lost again because some people still support the project even after it was tagged "the best Defi greed and stupidity index we have."

His comparing Sushi with Litecoin doesn't make sense cause LTC was affected ever since Charlie sold all his holding.

To be sincere, the token can survive as the developer stated because 95% of all the people in crypto market are impatience and after profit thats the reason most investors are surging to join the Defi project for quick profit. But once the Defi hype reduce the token will be badly affected and this is when we'll the genuine Defi project.

The issue of crypto market being flooded by Defi project have been discussed several time and even Vitalik advised people to be aware of the pitfall in Defi project despite the opportunity they bring but it seems like the Capital market and other coin ranking/capital analysis are not helping because they seems not to be doing proper research about project they list these days.
An example is KIMCHI.
Speaking of capital market not doing their job right, it really painful because this things is getting out of control. I created a thread acouple of weeks ago about a project which claim to be gold backed but dont actually have genuine vault audit and the capital market listed this same project.

Current drop only makes the situation worse. Defi phenomenon is only possible during bull run. We will see a lot of dead projects in the next few weeks

Defi came with a trend and as many people as possible are all looking for a way to follow that trend, and this comprises of scammers and half-baked developers, and majority of people do not care about use case or whatever but only profit. All I can say is, the wise ones knows when to stop or take a break and others who are all for profit always ends up getting trapped thus learning in a hard way that which they have failed to learn in the first place. Lastly, so far Defi hype is still around, many of these projects will keep coming up, therefore there is a very big need to be careful.
