It's just knowing some basic financial history. Crypto scams are not new kinds of scams. They're mostly scams from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a new paint job. "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" (1841), has the first time around for most of these bad ideas. Mass market scams first got going when newspapers appeared. At last, you could reach large numbers suckers at low cost. Before newspapers, scamming was a one-on-one in person thing.
We still have both mass-market and one-on-one scams, but now they can both be done remotely.
There's not much originality. It's mostly the same old scams of a few standard types, sometimes in new packaging.
