If you want to learn how to spot Crypto scams head over to r/CryptoMoonShots

...and study it for 10 minutes, block the sub and never look back.

I think this is good advice for newcomers to learn a bit how to spot scams in crypto. All those post have the same structure and basically every coin is the same. Even if something sounds promising just look at the profile of the OP and see that they usually have posted a bunch of similar coins in the past. None of these survive.

I dont know how that place still exists but as long as it is there, use it as a learning opportunity and maybe show its to some of your more "gullible" friends.
