Hello @Kurtbeil, it is always a pleasure to read your articles.

The scammer has several nuances depending on the degree of belief or faith he has about his own idea, and the degree of success he achieves over time.

✯ The first link to success is that the person has a blind faith in his idea and his ability to execute it. If he himself has no faith, he is a swindler.

✯ The second step is that he can convey his idea clearly to others, if he can not, he is a scammer!

✯ The third step is to convince a critical mass to accompany him in his idea and vision. If he can not do it he's a scammer!

✯ The fourth step is to deliver a functional product, it does not matter if someone knows what it is for or what it does. If he can not deliver a product he is a scammer!

✯ The fifth step is for the idea to reach the media or massify it in some visible way. It has a peremptory time to be popular because there is no room for patience on the road to success. If the idea does not grow exponentially he is a scammer!

✯ The sixth step, which defines whether everything is a great success or failure, is that the investment they made has substantial gains, if the gains are normal or below average, then it has all been a big scam!

In the end everything turns out to be a scam unless you can prove otherwise having absolute success.
I agree with you on the main idea of your article, have a great idea and execute it, but be successful because otherwise you are a scammer!

Have a great day.
