If someone trying to make a joke can accidentally get this much access and engagement, imagine how well the scammers must be doing.

Cryptocurrency scams must be an incredibly lucrative space, and now we know why there's so much spam about it that plenty leaks out into visibility.

I was wondering myself if crypto is just the 'the one thing we all need to learn ourselfs garbage '.

Like when I was 14 I called at a tv gamble Show were the clues were extremely easy but the solutions were extreme hard.

I probably wasted 30€ from my parents.

Did crypto catch so many people for the first time?

Or have they done other stupid things like MLM, homeopathy, Tourist traps, fake calls, fake family members, etc?

Buddy, no offense, but I don't really understand what you're saying here (assuming it's lost in translation).

Are you saying that maybe crypto itself is a big scam and everyone is eventually going to learn that the hard way?

Im trying to say that potentially everyone needs to learn getting scammed to learn it.

One person might experience something as a young age and others later.

My assumption is now that crypto is in such a good place (money, rich, tech) that it finds so many people.

Yes crypto is good in scamming

I personally learned by paying attention. And seeing others get scammed.
