 It takes time but people learn. There will other scams. That’s how it works. 

Maybe among current Bitcoiners there are more righteous people but as adoption progresses there will be more and more regularnaverage Joe’s. We may say that fair money promotes fairness but bad people existed all along the centuries and did what they wanted using silver, gold, animal skins and dollars. They will adapt to Bitcoin too. 

It is just learning curve. I remember the times when very popular scam on the streets was „3 cups”. There is a guy with a table or a box and you can guess under which cup there is some small item. The guy was goos social engineer, smart hands. Had few other guys helping him. Itbtookmsome time but now rarely anyone fall for that. That must have changed the way.

In digital world there are shitcoins, NFTs, Defy, whateverthefuck else other shit retardinals. Some of them will die, get replaced with next generation scam. It is just regular honest people contribution by educating others. There is no magic way to get rich quick. 

Stay humble and stack says.
