High APY projects should be dead for the betterment of crypto economies. I have always avoided such projects because they are mostly run bu ex-hyip admins. After the demise of MMG forum couple of years back, ex-hyip admins were looking for new takers for their nonsenses. As a result, they had included some kind crypto related touch to it. But people are stupid so they again fallen for those!
One thing you need to understand, money was never free and it will never be! Focus on biggest cryptos. Smaller non-sense projects can be completely ignored!
