> Nothing about blockchains, DLTs, crypto, at its core is a scam to me. I think everyone is talking past each other, because no one's exactly defining what the "scam" is, so you're talking about different things. I don't think anyone's suggesting that, say, deep in the BitCoin code there is some algorithm giving Satoshi Nakamoto a dollar for evert transaction. On the other hand, I believe that the vast majority of buyers are buying simply because they hope that someone else will buy at a higher price tomorrow, or next year. This causes everyone to cheer-lead about how everyone else needs to buy or HODL, because they simply want to drive the price up. For me, personally, I'd say this is what I'd call a "scam," in the sense that a MLM company is a "scam": that the motivation of the majority of people extolling the virtues of buying crypto tends to be simply personal enrichment.
