💥 Why are there so many scammers in the crypto world? Because this place is simply a paradise for fraudsters!



10 Human Nature Tricks Every Crypto World Entrepreneur Must Understand

1️⃣ The myth of getting rich quickly, harvesting brains

The crypto world is just a casino, but it's promoted as the "highway to financial freedom."
It's common to hear stories of tenfold or hundredfold returns, and there are indeed people who have won big prizes.
When a person is greedy, their brain short-circuits, and as long as a scammer paints a picture—"Bro, this coin is going to be listed soon, hurry up and buy"—you obediently send your money over.

2️⃣ Regulation is just for show, the cost of running away is absurdly low.

Traditional finance can scam you for ten thousand and may even get you wanted.
What about the crypto world? Scammers pull a pump and dump, directly cross-chain, mix coins, and delete accounts, leaving even dogs unable to find a trace of them.
This place is simply a paradise where you can "enjoy your old age after scamming money."

3️⃣ The information gap is so large that it can drown people.

They use a bunch of terms you don't understand: Layer2, ZK, DeFi, cross-chain bridge...
New investors don't understand and are afraid to ask, fearing it will make them look stupid, so they pretend to know and spend money.
Scammers love this the most— a group of people who pretend to understand but don’t, harvesting at a speed as quick as cutting wheat.

4️⃣ Pseudo-decentralization, true one-click liquidation

Don't be fooled by "decentralization"; the private keys of many projects are held by just a few people.
Write a backdoor in the contract to take away the funds at any time, leaving you with a bunch of white papers of "future visions" as consolation prizes.

5️⃣ FOMO is the killer move

"Only 10 spots left" "Group will close at 12 tonight" "Miss it and it will double" —
Scammers rely on creating this sense of urgency, making it impossible for you to check or think.
By the time you realize it, the money has already run away after circling the chain eight times.

⚠ Truth
The scams in the crypto world are not an isolated phenomenon; they are a byproduct of this ecosystem.
Greed + ignorance + uncontrolled flow of funds equals a paradise for scams.
