I know but flip the subject and see how it looks when you replace "crypto" with "British Pounds" or take your pick. I could argue that there are far less scams using crypto that there are using any fiat currency you can think of.
If crypto has enough time to mature we'll see some things that people (AKA the market) really want, and that's ease of use, safety and interoperability. You can wait for the golden day or adopt early, though at this point we've passed the early adoption phase really.
