I’m sure there’s a Reddit thread for every cryptocurrency company and founder calling them a fraud.


And statistically, they're virtually all correct.


Just like how, statistically, a cancer test strip that always says "not cancer" is virtually always correct.


You're confusing false positives and false negatives


Ok let me make a correction.

It’s always a good blind bet that a singular new company and/or founder will fail their next venture, not just startups in the crypto space, but across every industry. If you know a little bit (insider info) about the space and founders you can probably make better bets, though .


not with crypto though, because it's all a scam or a front, there is no actually successful crypto projects, unless you count successful as having scammed a bunch of money out of people's hands, in which case, yes theyre all pretty much successful
