I can accept a definition of scam that includes fiat. Though it definitely doesn't track the same way with cryptocurrency.

I associate nootropics with scams but I definitely don't think all nootropics are scams. If someone said, here buy this pill that will make you smarter I'd be incredulous.

My point was cryptocurrency has a deserved bad reputation (for the reasons I mentioned).

I love the lofty ideals but the reality is the altcoin world especially is a minefield of scams. That reputation will hurt a messaging app that has done a pretty good job of building good will.
