Is there not any benefit to trying to encourage people into the cyber world.
Trying to encourage people to fall for scams in the cyber world is not justified by having as a side-effect the bringing of people into the cyber world.
Secure a blackchain, very very secure, provide an exchange for it, also very very secure, do all the penetration testing, checking of the reliability of mining facilities to try to harden them against DDOS attacks and so on, then when fully ready with a real product, go ahead and bring people in.
That way instead of being brought into the cyber world as people who know it is a scam, having fallen for a scam first thing upon entry into that world, you can bring people into a secure cyber world of secure ledgers and such. And even then they will likely have difficulty securing their own personally owned coins so a far better contribution to the cyber world would be to work on the usability-by-the-ignorant aspects of the wallets used by the very few actually secure chains rather than to work on "using" the ignorance of the ignorant to scam them with insecure systems that are not yet secure enough for the real world.
