Scammed
Obviously.
The entire purpose of crypto is a scam. People buy it only because they hope it will later be worth more and they can sell it. Even tho the act of selling it lowers the price especially if they have a lot.
You're saying it's right because it's working as intended and legally it's not prohibited.
Other people say it's a scam because they're putting their personal morals over the law. That's textbook antisocial behavior, and not always a bad thing. The French resistance in WW2 were antisocial, MLK was antisocial, Occupy was antisocial.
It can be bad too, like the KKK or the people from 1/6
But when the majority of a society is antisocial (doesn't matter good or bad ways) that society is usually fucked.
And this week just gave a pretty good example that a majority of people put their personal morals above societies laws.
At a certain point, the people change societies to match their morals, the opposite is always temporary.
