“do not make the mistake of thinking all of it is a scam.”
The problem is that if average folks are unable to differentiate the non-scam from the scam then for all operational purposes....
It is a scam.
It is kind of like Cuban cigars sold in Mexico.
Are legitimate ones sold there? Sure—if you have trustworthy sources and know how to spot fakes and convince the seller you know the difference between the real ones and the fakes—and they actually have real ones on site somewhere.
However, even legitimate licensed Cuban outlets will sell fakes to tourists—sometimes without the approval of store management, sometimes with that approval.
At the end of the day the fakes so outnumber the real ones that it is just better not to buy Cuban cigars in Mexico.
There are no substitutes for Solano or Ethereum. Trust coinbase.com and don’t put it a wallet. Leave it in the account.
