> crypto space

Sorry, but this is so bloody annoying that I have to tell you:

"crypto" = cryptography (stuff like symmetric/asymmetric encryption, hashing, etc.)

"crypto currency" = useless shit like bitcoin

So I think you meant "exit scams" in the crypto currency space.

One of the most important features that still makes the human brain superior to a machine is its innate ability to use context to discern meaning.

In fact, one would need context to conclude that "crypto" refers to cryptography, and not something else like cryptozoology or cryptofascism. There's also probably at least one legitimate metal band with "crypto" in their name.
