Ya, just because BTC has been used in scams dosnt mean it is a scam. Gold, diamonds, cash , and antiques have been used since for ever for scamming people. Every scam that has been done with fiat currency is now been tried out on BTC costumers, because there is little or no regulation. This is why it is up to you guys to be vigilant!! No goverment oversight means you have to be smart. Just buy and hodl in off line wallet - safest means of not getting scammed.
