I have often been accused of cheating by those who tend to cheat a lot themselves. I think the situation is exactly the same.

People kinda being traumatized about scam, they already been through some scamming in their own life. People these days kinda rare to fully trust other people because of that. What i can thought of is to hand over our trust into some company or whatnot, and let they prove to ourself that they're not scam. Be positive.

Agreed. After so many scams happened, people just realize that its the safest way to assume everything a scam till those projects prove otherwise.

It makes sense in the end. Check the altcoin section, every day a new project with massive promises pops up. They all can't be legit can they?

I think little knowledge on a thing then we will dive on it and venture will cause consequence and harm to be a victim of scam, those people think that everything is a scam maybe once a victim of scam, but I will tell that not all, we can do research the background to avoid being scam.

It seems as though there is a predominant attitude about people trying to do business that most people are scammers. We have run into this time and time again, accusing us of running "dirty" money or stolen goods. We put ads or offers in various places saying "vetted buyer" and "respected escrow" and still get negative comments from people that don't even want to do business. They would just rather demean and abase and not add any positive thoughts. I will say that we have had pretty good success in spite of the naysayers. Doing business in this way is new to most people and seems foreign. But we have plodded through and have achieved a success that has proved that not all are wrong.
There are people all over that are looking for honest services, and we have carved a niche for that entity. We know that there are scammers out there, but we are working to elevate us to a position of reknown. Not all offers are scams!

Not all offers are scams, of course but the problem is that many are and since we are dealing here with eCommerce or the digital world there is a need for an entity to first established a good track record or a trusted brand before many will trust doing business with you. And with all the scams around this is just a natural and expected reaction from many people who have been victimized by scammers online and even offline. We are living in a trust-less world and this is partly one reason why Satoshi Nakamoto invented the blockchain technology. Good thing that despite all the odds the business you are talking about still managed to make it through...and now you are all ready to take advantage of the goodwill the business was able to established so far. Congrats.

We cannot regret people if they were take about scam because they believe of what we are seeing on television or heard from others especially bitcoin, they can easily believe even though they don't know what is bitcoin.

Basically people think depends of their experiences that helps them to be mature enough to deal with crypto icos. Most of the time we think scam because that would be the possible worse scenario ever happened to us. We don't like to happen it again. To lose is to lose anymore. What you've lost will never be back again unless you work harder than before in order to regain what had lost. Anyway there are some ICO that scam but not all of them. Better to check everything about the project before participating.

Should not go into the cryptocurrency for those who do not know how to analyze projects and carefully study the documentation of an individual startup, sort out the concept of the product and understand if tokens are provided. Just do not go to those who do not believe in the development of this industry. To tell the truth, I lost more material assets not from deception or fraud, but because I did not believe in cryptocurrency.

We can't blame them, maybe because they traumatize from experiencing it.  Other people need to see the results first before believing.

Well, can you blame them? People have been victims of scams left and right. They don't want their hard earned money to disappear in a snap of the fingers. maybe people will feel comfortable dealing in new business if they have a sort of show of faith where by the company gives the people opportunity to scam them.

From various people have their own thoughts and indeed if associated with the internet.. it's more prone to the occurrence of scams/hack etc. Well.. for the people who still lay on it, it would be easy to judge.. that it's just scams and it can also be based on their personal experience.

I think one of the reason for this is the Psychology. Some participants are just too scared of losing profits and they start to suspect everyone.
Being careful is the right thing to do but being too suspicious can make you always be in unstable state, leading to bad decision.

Another reason, I think is how easy it is to set up a scam these days. Due to open source, one team can create a coin in a short amount of time, too easy and they can just throw it away to earn short-term profits thanks to naive investors.

MEGATRON - THE RISE OF BLOCKCHAIN REVOLUTION
People think the cryptocurrency market is a scam because they probably have no knowledge of the market. Currently, developed countries all over the world are involved in the cryptocurrency market. All the benefits that the market brings are very smart and modern. People who have negative thoughts about the market, I recommend you learn about the market more and enter the market to get a large source of income in the future.

Because speculation always comes with big risks. And where there are risks, there will be scammers.
This is really a bad approach if you think the system is whole about scam, no brother this isn’t right. Not only in bitcoins and crypto but in every walk of life, there are good and bad people who maintain or deform the values of that system. So we can’t just label that system a bad one just because some people scam out there. Rather the system of crypto currencies are so amazing.
In a world full of deception and uncertainties it's always a good move to be protected from any harm. However, it's becoming hard to change the mindset of the people around to believe into something real. There's nothing wrong to take actions in this kind of trap, but I believe only us can eliminate this worst trend. We have to be guarded all the time, do investigation, and filter which is fake and original, by taking the appropriate actions.

This people who think that everyone is a scam, maybe we will understand them because they might be a victims of scams , maybe in ICO, in tthe trading sites , bounty campaigns but we say that just continue working and forget those scams , I think you will still recover from those experienced you meet in this digital world.

I don't think so but to my mind the answer is obvious because the number of scams has increased. It is difficult to define who is who. That's why a lot of people think that it is necessary to be careful with everyone
Exactly. In this century its hard for us to trust someone because even your bestfriend can betray you so we must think wisely who to trust so that we will not regret the decision we made.

I never understand this issue. Why people don’t get this simple thing that bitcoin is just a digital method of making money. It is not scam. So shameful for the states who are allowing gambling but calling bitcoin and other crypto currencies a scam. People even get scammed when they were not exposed to crypto currencies. So all these allegations are illogical and nonsense. No need to pay any attention to them.

When the Internet started and was opened to the public, everything was nice. Now, the cybercrime statistics are in the range of ~100 billion USD just for 2018.

When crypto started, all projects were visionary and had great ideals.Now, we have 1622 cryto coins/tokens and 90% of them are pure trash/scams.

That's just the way it is... every new tech after a while gets exploited by criminals to take advantage of the general population.
