I think you're getting downvoted for dehumanizing the people affected by scams. Crypto scams are not the only scams in town. There are tons of them of varying from legal to illegal (MLM, Nigerian Price, etc). Do you not care for the victims of _any_ scams or just specifically for crypto scams?
The common thing in any scam is that there is a victim. Not everyone knows better. In fact, you hear on the news constantly about how bitcoin is huge or some new crypto currency is taking off and people who know absolutely nothing about it want to figure out a way to get into it, not having any idea they are getting scammed. I've had non-techie friends ask me "how do I do this crypto thing? everyone is getting rich from it!".
Having a high and mighty attitude of "you're stupid therefore you deserved it" doesn't progress anything and just shits on the victims. Instead, let's try to figure out ways to create _less_ victims.
