“Crypto” is a technology that is functional and has proven utility. Those using it as a tool to skirt regulations, defraud others, or to commit outright theft are the scammers. I would agree that as a concept it is generally overhyped, usually by those who seek to profit from doing so. But I think it’s important to not conflate the unscrupulous gold miners looking to get rich quick with the utility of the precious metal itself.
