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.
No, you should not draw conclusions like that. Maybe media coverage leads people to think negatively about Crypto. The one who committed the crime was the culprit, not Crypto. Would someone blame Fiat currency if there was a corruption case?
