when the pool of people around crypto is:

  • not particularly critical or skeptical of the space
  • demonstrably have lots of money to gamble
  • susceptible to promises of hyper-wealth

it's not much of a surprise that the entire ecosystem of scamming grew like a weed in crypto. i've seen the hordes of twitter bots responding to every "all my apes gone", i guess it makes sense that they were turning a pretty penny double dipping victims
