In what way is it?
Decentralised currencies are fundamentally too expensive to operate, while providing dangerously little safety and a far worse user experience than fiat.
The scam part is the idea that any crypto coin is an asset with inherent value, when in fact the price is created entirely by new investment, in other words it's just a ponzi scheme
I think you may have misunderstood. I'm saying people call it a scam for a variety of reasons, so when someone says it isn't a scam, I'm asking which way of calling it a scam are they saying it's not a scam in relation to.
In the way that none of those other ways are fundamental to it's intended use by it's creator as an actual currency.
There are plenty of things that aren't created by scammers to be scams that people call scams.
That exactly my point.
Which doesn't take away for them to be scams anyway.
They believe shitcoins = the whole crypto economy
The only thing they know are ERC20 tokens
No, I don't. But I do find it humourous you moderate a community called "how to sell drugs online fast" lol. And I genuinely don't mean that in some sort of "you're biased" way, truly.
Haha yea funny
I like the show and I wanted to have a community for it on Lemmy rather than Reddit
Apart from that, crypto usage increased due to dark net markets so there’s a real link
It means you spied on me though 👀😂

The entirety of blockchain is a scam. And especially Bitcoin.
Not sure what your link is supposed to prove. I could make the exact same site but with problems related to the banking system, and trust me, it would be a lot worse.
