That's the right attitude and message. Bitcoin and crypto have enough scams on their plate already to turn away many people from trying it out of fear. On top of that, if the community is lurking and waiting to strike the moment they see a mistake, we don't really deserve the good that comes with Bitcoin. Then we shouldn't be surprised if bitcoiners are talked about in a bad light.
Unfortunately, when people are anonymous it clouds their judgement. It's similar to herd mentality, in that people don't think about the consequences when they're in a group, and therefore their identity doesn't necessarily stick out as much. I'm not just talking about the consequence that they might face, but how their actions will hurt someone else, and the extent of it. So, finding a wallet on the beach or anywhere that might not have much attention drawn to it, people can sometimes become a little more greedy, but when they've found it in the public eye they're more likely to do the right thing.
This is ultimately why Bitcoin gets a bad wrap, it's easier to be anonymous, and the authorities haven't really caught up in terms of investigating like they would with fiat. So, there's a lot more scams around. Hopefully, that changes in the near future, and we get a better reputation, once there's more consequences for those that look to scam.
