I believe that the peak of user activity in the cryptocurrency market occurred in 2016 and since then all users who have remained faithful to the cryptocurrency and all their assets have already gained some experience and can evaluate various projects, Analyzing the available information and the conditions imposed in order to prevent fraud and do not be deceived. Anyway, I hope so.
2016 there are not many projects. When compared to 2017, I saw so many new projects with the popularity of ICOs. the market is increasing and that is also the reason the scammers are getting bigger. 2018 to 2020 seems to be the year when the market is experiencing a decline in investor confidence. but mid-2020 is a good start when investment starts to pick up again. but I think scammers will continue to adapt. If people have been in this market and forum for a long time, I think they must know how the character and project is a scam.
It is true that the turning point is in the middle of 2020 and it is certainly very memorable,
and when talking about scam projects as far as I can remember it has been around since maybe around 2017,
because with the increasing number of scam projects we have to do some research before joining,
especially for newbies so that later they don't get caught up in a scam project
