This is the lazy answer that gets trotted out every time cryptocurrency gets called out as a scam "But the regular financial system is a scam too!" It has lots of flaws, but it grew organically over thousands of years, and so did regulation that offers some reasonable protection that lets people use currency without massive risk of getting scammed (I'm sure there is a pedantic counterpoint to this, but overall, people get by on real money, much better than if they "invested" - because that's all you can do, you cant actually transact in any normal way - in the current crypto nonsense.) Anyway, if your best argument is that real money is also a scam, it's hard to believe anyone would be lining up to switch to your scam
