Cryptocurrency had made lots of issues because of these abusers to which it will take negative impact to this technology.
Cryptocurrency is not the cause of scam. Scam is an underlying problem that has existed long before Bitcoin was created. Pyramid and Ponzi scams have been run multiple times using fiat currencies, but the mainstream media does not report it as a flaw on legal tenders, with Bitcoin however, it's painted as a network issue to draw traffic and for negative publicity.
What can you say of the integration of cryptocurrency to scam activities? What could also happen to cryptocurrency in the future? Will it became worst?
The short-term solution, people should stop falling for the greed trap used by scammers.
In the long-term, I think we may witness a system where coins could be flagged, sort of a blacklist for funds that had been involved in criminal activities. Newly minted and coins that had not been previously used for criminal activities would be higher valued for daily transactions. While the other could be used in the darkweb.
Definitely agree with you here. With or without crypto, these scammers can operate their illegal activities.
And since crypto is one of the latest technology that many users don't understand about, they now see it as their playing ground.
So if you are a newbie to this field, don't be attracted by offers that are way beyond the reality.
If people will educate themselves about crypto, we will lessen the instances of people being screwed.
Just like how ICOs/IEOs are dying, because people learned their lessons from all these crap crowdsourcing projects.
