Do you think that we should now accept the occurrence of these scams and hacks as very normal in the cryptocurrency industry...and what are the things we can do to protect ourselves from them?
A big yes. There's nothing much that we can do about those irresponsible investors out there. We can feed them information, advice, and guides to secure their funds, but if they're irresponsible, it's pretty much useless.
Yearly, billions and billions of dollars are being scammed and hacked by these hackers and scammers in various ways. Right now, these people are continuously evolving, using different and more attractive ways to lure those newbie investors. Even those old ones that are irresponsible are the ones that will fall into these types of scams. Just imagine half a billion dollars have been stolen in just 1 quarter, and by the end of this year, for sure it will reach a billion dollars.
Like I said, providing information to them would be our best way to help them, but that doesn't mean that they will be 100% proof from these scammers. There's nothing we can do about it, but to accept that there will investors that be either scammed or hacked on a yearly basis.
Sometimes, letting them experience for at least one time is helpful because from there, they will learn how to adjust and how to be more secure with their funds.
