However, the recent arrests and successful prosecution of cryptocurrency crime culprits and funds returned to the rightful owners has made people to trust that it’s not all that it has been painted to be for.
3) Easy detection of scam projects: this increased knowledge has led to the creation of the cryptocurrency community for various projects. This has enabled participants in the project to play safe and invest wisely.
