The above shameful scam has completely negative impact on the Bitcoin market in 2022. We all hope that such incidents do not happen in cryptocurrencies in the coming years.
Despite all the troubles, Bitcoin is still standing firm, that's a good reason to be happy. I believe all that you stated above might continue to happen in the crypto space, there are many faulty foundations, so now is not the time to cry foul. All I hope for is better security and regulations that will bring more sanity among the centralized companies dealing with crypto.
Nonetheless, Bitcoin on its own does not have any issues, it's still maintaining neutrality as it is supposed to do, and has held firm despite what global inflation and economic woes have done to it. The year 2023 might be its year indeed where a better price might be seen, and everyone would be happy again.
