Yes. But thinking further about this; Even if Bitcoin was not called crypto and it stood in its own, people will still call it scam and say all sorts of things. This is because some people have been scammed in Bitcoin and so they perceive it as a device for scammers. I mean people who have been scammed of their Bitcoin. Make no mistake, they are ignorant about it because in the actual sense, Bitcoin is just money and it’s not the cause of the scam.

I want to say this? that fraud has occurred long before bitcoin was launched and in fact there have been many cases of fraud, including those involving fiat currency itself. Ordinary people do not know why they are cheated because perhaps the knowledge they have, so they give the same value is all related to the fraud they experience. Even though this fraud is individual in nature, it is carried out by individuals and they themselves are not able to verify its truth before deciding to do it.

Bitcoin is not a moving object and automatically it cannot deceive people, in fact people use Bitcoin to deceive stupid people who are unable to compare its truth value. Long before Bitcoin developed rapidly, there were many types of fraud that occurred and people didn't even know they had been cheated. The reason is because people don't try to find out the level of truth so it's easier to find ways to cheat.

Scam happens between people, so it can be said that scam comes from human behavior, while bitcoin, fiat, altcoin... are all just tools for scammers to use to scam others. Even if bitcoin and altcoins did not exist or only bitcoin existed in this world, there would still be scams.

Those who blame bitcoin or altcoins for being scams are people who lack knowledge and are stubborn, unwilling to admit their mistakes because they are too greedy and fall into the traps of scammers. Scammers and those who get scammed all come from their own greed, don't try to blame any tool just for your stupidity.
