Crypto is used to scam, it doesn't mean the technology or the idea is a scam. I find it really ironic how Lemmy seems to hate it so much. I don't have any investment in it anymore because I don't like how profit-focused it became but I first got into it for the same reason I'm here on Lemmy, Bitcoin was an open source and federated alternative to money. Anyone could run a node and mine it. No more proprietary apps like PayPal.

While I don't think we will ever recapture the original spirit the tech had in the early 2010s I do find it quite sad that people think crypto = scam. Is HTTP a scam because scam websites exist? Are phones a scam because scam calls exist? I really wish people would separate the underlying technology (which is actually really cool) and the people using it.

The SA in CSAM is sexual abuse. Who is being sexually abused in order to make a drawing?
