I also dislike all kinds of scams where they link to Bitcoin. Because there are so many laudable activities for the good of all that can be done with it that ill-intentioned people take advantage of Bitcoin and common people when it comes to learning about Bitcoin lose confidence.
I have done some practice in trying to teach What is Bitcoin? and its use and I have not been successful. The fact that Bitcoin has not achieved massive adoption is because people have not learned to use it.
