Yep that's the other problem, people write off web3 because of scammers and other scumbaggery, but there is good work being done.

That's rather disingenuous.

The problem is that the technology enables illicit activity on a large scale because of its core premises.

The problem is NOT that people write it off because of the risks built-in to the technology, at least for most people. I'm sure scammers and crypto zealots do consider that a problem.
