Crypto isn't a scam. It's a fantastic way to protect yourself online and HTTPS has been a game changer. Crypto currency is a scam though.

ENCRYPTION is great but it isn’t “crypto”

I understand that crypto is a scam that will rob millions of people of money they desperately need.

To be fair, us elders had grifts and money laundering too, so crypto is nothing functionally new.
