Well, many of the especially relevant stories where still illegal. Sure ethically they where "right" and not illegal from a EU POV, but still illegal in the country they happened. Besides that most other stories are people getting rich by high-risk speculative investments. But the problem with mass investments into high-risk speculative investments is that they tend to create bubbles which can destabilize the economy, so not really that grate either. There are a lot of good use-cases for the technology behind crypto currencies. But much of the current crypto currency landscape is not grate a lot bubbles, a lot pyramid schemes and scams, a lot of things which conflict with money laundering regulations. And many other problems. I'm fully sure that the related technology (blockchain etc.) will have a future, I'm not sure about crypto currencies like we have them now.
