Hacking and scamming in this regard is eating the seed, instead of planting the seed, that would be the tree, that would bear fruit.
It denotes desperation, and touts the fact that still many in the world do not understand the blockchain or how money works in general as it pertains to a store of wealth or value.
Too man consider themselves clever setting up fake social media accounts, working hard at it to, only to simply steal would be investors money and run off into their closets with their several VPNs, stroking their whiskers.
Too many consider themselves clever, taking advantage of the anonymity of the blockchain, scamming and hacking, and delaying the widespread use, trust, and adoption of blockchain technology by the everyman, by years and decades, simply because of need, greed, disinformation and misinformation
STOP HACKING. STOP SCAMMING :
It's giving a bad name to young or new investors or those invloved in the space who are merely intrigued, or who are trying to make a living to help develop the technology of the future that will help and save us all alot of time and money.
In the very least, the hackers should just get together as well as the scammers, and make themselves a coin, instead of robbing and plundering the value created by hardworking investors and miners.
That is too bad but it is good to know. I love Bitcoin. Sad to hear about scams.
