That people tried to profit by manipulating the price doesn't mean that the chain itself is a scam. I don't think it's correct that the only relevant component of people using it is people speculating/pumping -and-dumping . So, I would think that saying that it is a scam, is not true. Note: I do not own any of it. Nor have I owned any cryptocurrency that was available on any exchange. (I've owned testnet ether, both pre release, and recently, but that's it)
