Over the past couple of years crypto currency became a bit like the "Wild West" where many try to sell you on something new and shiny, try to avoid these!
This describes the majority of projects. I've found most of them really aren't worth what their claims suggest they are. You have to approach with a critical mind.
When you start reading white-papers you realize many crib from other platforms keeping you on your toes.
Sadly many people get swept away in the FOMO on projects and don't take time to read the fine print.
Projects putting new crypto into the system with no actual offering, nor reason to even base a token or coin on.
That's true. And some of them have been caught at it.
