In my country Someone bought a BMW Car by scamming in crypto transections and Police arrested him and told that the guy was a cheater and he was a crypto scammer.And this case is now the most viral topic.This incident shocked the whole country and also the Central bank authority about how he got this huge money and this incident put a bad impact in crypto.
I think Digital Currency like Crypto isn't getting much popularity because of these Scammers.They are one of the most strong reason why Government's aren't showing interest on Crypto Transections.
I guess that was only an isolated incident, and part of the problem in the society it's not portrayed Bitcoin as a dangerous asset because scammers are using everything that has value, and they don't care about it whether its gold, fiat, and even cryptocurrency so Bitcoin was not spare on any scamming activity all that has a value is prone to any form of scamming abuse.
