the biggest contributor to crypto being despised by most people is the massive prevalence of scammers

At risk of being called a crypto bro or something (I'm really not, I learned all this shit years before everything turned into what it is), I'd like to play Devil's advocate here for the moment and ask how that's different from fiat currency?

USD is practically untraceable, and people are being scammed out of it constantly with no recourse.
