Don't deny the tool itself just because of bad actors—this is a point made by a leading exchange executive in a recent interview.

The topic originated from how to help beginners identify scammers. His analogy is quite vivid: technology is like a shovel; it can be used to build walls and houses, or it can be used for malicious purposes. The key is that the minority who misuse technology are always the ones, and we shouldn't deny the technology itself because of that 1%.

This logic is especially relevant in the cryptocurrency community. Scams, frauds, and exit schemes do exist, but that doesn't mean the entire system is flawed. On the contrary, because of its decentralized nature, users have more autonomy and the right to be informed—if they learn basic security knowledge, most risks are manageable.

So instead of complaining about too many bad actors, it's better to improve your own discernment. That is the correct attitude for survival in the crypto world.
