    Come on mate, there’s no way you’d be aware of crypto in an online space like this without being well aware of why most people consider it a scam.

      On the contrary, I’d expect people in these spaces to be more capable of separating the signal from the noise with crypto and not default to “crypto bad”.

        Crypto is bad though. If you can’t see it, you’re either one of the scammed or one of the scammers (in which case you can see it but pretend you don’t).

          Money is bad—it is used for a lot of bad things like trading drugs or hiring killers…? Money is the root cause of mugging, scams, exploitation, killing, corruption…?

          Money is good—it can be used to help people…?

          Perhaps money is not good nor bad; a person who uses it may be ethical or unethical. Please do not confuse pure mathematics or technology (such as public key cryptography) with its users/abusers.
