Crypto didn't do that. Investment bros did. Pretty much everything created after 2015 is a scam and hardly related to cryptocurrency at all. Just traditional investment/scam types moving in and adopting the name/language for popularity.
But you're right about the outcome from this. Most people don't know the difference, were only exposed to the post-2015 scams, and just assume all cryptocurrency is a scam.

And here we have a neat example of how this site, called "hacker news" of all things, can sometimes take on a absurdly idiotic hive-mind approach to some technology X where brainless hostility combines with laughable ignorance to reject something without knowing the first thing about it, even when the thing is emphatically a practical solution to a widely discussed problem.
