Cynical, not very open minded. Bitcoin is not an "obvious scam" any more than the world is obviously flat, or fiat currencies were obviously going to fail. Remember going off the gold standard? Probably not, but lots of people considered it an "obvious scam." Perhaps it is, but it certainly has been a long game. While early adopters surely have made an enormous profit, it is not a scam, and has a significant chance of being a major player in the world economy.
