NXT is really full of controversy and untransparency,from distribution,pyramid assets to such meme guys.
So you think ETH will be scam proof?
The moment scammers figure out how to code in ETH's new language, you will see hordes of scammers invading it. Scam asset after scam asset, there will be so many scams in ETH that it will become new normal

Seriously, the fact that scammers are there has nothing to do with neither ETH nor NXT. Thats just human nature.
(Plus its not like ETH has any transparency whatsoever, so you found the wrong comparison)
