The technology isn't, but it can be easily abused by malicious actors, using the exact same methods as shown in Wolf of Wall Street.

Until there is an actual use case for Crypto, it’s definitely a scam as a technology. It exists only for investors and scammers, anyone attempting to actually use it is getting reamed.
