Scam is a deliberate deception. Filtering is a normal stage of any new technology.

Today, it is increasingly common to hear a simple and convenient formula: 'crypto is a scam'. It is pronounced confidently, with the experience of losses and disappointments behind. And there is truth in this phrase — but only part of the truth.
If we look honestly, the crypto market has indeed left behind a whole graveyard of projects. Thousands of coins, tokens, and platforms have disappeared, devalued, or been forgotten. Many of them were originally created not as technologies, but as a way to quickly extract money from the hype. Memes, empty promises, loud words without a product — all of this was and is.
