Email is mostly a scam, but you don't notice because you don't run your own mailserver and you have spam protection from a legitimate provider, and for now there is no direct way to transfer money via email.

Actually, I do run my own mailserver, with no spam filtering whatsoever. The volume of spam is high, but low enough to ignore.

Same with crypto. The projects people actually care about and follow aren't scams. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Nano, etc are not scams.

Sure there are some scams out there but they are mostly obvious. Just like email. But because some people have a personal crusade against crypto they like to play up the obvious scams as commonplace when they really aren't.
