I don't think that opt in money systems outside the control of the state are scams, including things like Bitcoin, Monero, and Ethereum. Yes, there are lots of scams in crypto world, but these are money systems with larger economies than many countries now.

No buts.

As has been shown time and time again, crypto operators are in it to enrich themselves, not to provide saps with good returns on their "investment."

No one entity "operates" or controls Bitcoin, or other *decentralized* networks, that's the whole point...
