> If you dont, this isnt really the thread for generalized crypto sentiment This isn't generalized crypto sentiment. I actually find the rehashed arguments about crypto on HN rather exhausting and don't tend to participate much. What this is is a thread about crypto scams, in particular a crypto scam that preys on dishonest people by taking advantage of their dishonesty. You provided a great illustration of a similar type of scam by mentioning how you've seen how many scammers take advantage of the widespread secrecy in the crypto token world, which secrecy you say exists in order to better attract buyers by not letting on the various ways in which the creator is manipulating things behind the scenes with the aid of a paid consultant. It seems to me that a discussion of pervasive dishonesty creating a hotbed for scammers is totally relevant to TFA and to your original comment.
