Years ago I remember a thread where people were bashing the Bitcoin ecosystem for being full of bubbles, scammers, ponzi schemes, criminals, and con artists. Some smart-arse replied "so you're saying Bitcoin is a real currency?"
That really stuck with me. :) Because of course none of those things happen with ordinary currencies.

Scammers and frauds and power-hungry thugs don't have time to seek random trinkets; they group around things that can help them earn a lot of money and control.
