Title: When Did Crypto's Most Infamous Scams Become the Norm?

"Hey guys, I've been thinking about the state of crypto lately and I keep coming back to the same question - when did all the shysters and scammers start running amok? ICOs like OneCoin and BitConnect were the worst offenders, but it's like they paved the way for all the ponzi schemes and fake charity scams that plague us today. Has anyone else felt like the rug is constantly being pulled out from under us?"

"Dude, it's like, you can't blame crypto for this - the wild west days were always gonna attract some shady stuff. But I think what's changed now is that scammers are getting bolder and more sophisticated, making it way harder to weed them out. Nowadays, it's not just some fly-by-night operation, it's legit teams with marketing budgets & 'influencers' peddling fake coins"

"TBH, I think we've just gotten desensitized to all the FUD and scams out here. It's like, yeah, another 100M lost to a Ponzi scheme, no biggie. We need a major shift in the industry's focus on regulation and accountability."

"Dude, it feels like just yesterday we were getting fleeced by Ponzi schemes and now it's like, 'oh yeah, this is just how crypto works'. Scams have always been a part of the space, it's just that the good guys got priced out and the bad guys got louder."

"Dude, we've known about rug pulls and exit scams since the early days of altcoins. It's like, people got so desperate to make a quick buck they forgot the whole 'trustless and decentralized' thing. Crypto's been a wild west from the get-go, and it's gonna take a lot more regulation to change that"
