Say what you will about the technology, but the Bitcoin community attracts the most unsavory, scandalous people imaginable. It truly is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Everything even tangentially related to it instantly becomes a source of scams, illegal activity, and just general shadiness. It's what has always turned me off of blockchain technology in general. I'm sure these same people exist in the fiat financial world as well, but it just has a lawless, wild west, dog eat dog atmosphere that is so off putting.
