It probably has no direct connection, but it indirectly does. I am sure that every form of human activity has its fair share of scams; however, in the crypto world, they are most likely more common than anywhere else. Because each of us regrets for all the missed opportunities, to some extent. Some to the point that they are willing to do any form of scam they can imagine just to get a piece of the action. Others, on the other hand, are so blinded by other people's success and their own greed that they become easy targets of such scams. Because of greed and envy, scammers have found a new playground, crypto investments, and started clogging it with multi-level marketing schemes, pyramid schemes, shitcoins, ICOs, etc. And there you have it, a vicious cycle, where the scammers are on one end of it, and the regretful on the other, but they both want the same thing: a lot of coins in their wallet.
