It's been that way since the beginning. Being scammed is a rite of passage almost and it helps phase out scams from legit stuff. Those Ls are offset by the potentially enormous gains, it's about risk management at the end.
So:
1) Crypto is a net-zero game
2) Certain people with money and power have a natural advantage
3) You're bound to get scammed
Combine those three factors, doesn't it pretty much guarantee that most folk in crypto will lose more than they win? It's like gambling against the house, even if all things were equal the odds would be 50-50 at best, and all things aren't equal.
some of the opinions of the non crypto folks is baffling to me.
its one part ignorance, and another part (imo) falling in line with their political party.
edit: also jealousy. They see people making a lot of money and feel like they missed out.
You're ignoring people who are plenty deep in the game.
