A number of Bitcoin hard forks are scams as well and a few of them are in the top 100 in terms of market cap. The same thing could be said about airdrops.

  You don't need to go to top 100. Two Bitcoin forks that are scams are in Top 10 right now.

    Scam implies theft. Those forks aren't being used to steal money from people.

      What if one of the proponents of those projects is a guy who pretends to be Satoshi Nakamoto? When we all know he isn't, and know and he can't prove it. Should that affect the credibility of a project?

        I mean it's not really a scam, but it's definitely fraud.

    Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin SV? Last time I tried Core fork of Bitcoin, it was useless, it had $30 transaction fees (due to artificial block size limit). I was scammed out of my money, couldn't move it. This isn't fixed yet, fees will appear again when transaction volume increases. Meanwhile with Bitcoin Cash I was sending $1 to Venezuelian for less than $0.01.

  Going on Coinmarketcap and clicking any coin's website in the top 50 will take you to basically the same type of site. - Featuring voice-over video explaining why _this_ coin is the most decentralized and secure. - A team page showcasing an absurdly large number of team members with stockphoto-like profiles photos. - A roadmap, of which they're all on stage one. - Whitepaper linked from primary navigation.
