It is only a "scam" because many people don't understand the first thing about Bitcoin. It is hardly a scam once you research it but to be fair the whole industry is ripe with scams. Also people get mixed up failed ICOs with scams or losing money with scams and because they associate those two things with scams, literally everything in crypto is a scam. Lose 30% on your trade with a lower cap coin bam thats a scam. An ICO fails and doesn't execute how it set out bam thats a scam. People need to take a step back and realize ponzi schemes are scams and when people take your money and give you absolutely nothing thats a scam. Everything else is just noise.
