I fully agree with you and yes there are so many scams about in the crypto space but what I think is they only get ahead for so long, its very short lived and then the next one comes, but hopefully with time we can reduce that and educate people. The only reason we see it is because its so well documented, people are always calling out projects the moment they launch.
Compare that to fiat people get away with far more scams
What I try to be positive about is these scam coins bring capital into the space, create new code, new ideas, train up new devs and those skills, code and ideas arent lost when the scam dies, it gets absorbed into other projects but that's just me trying to see the silver line
