It's unfortunate, but blame it on the current economic system designed to make us look for money in all ways in order to survive and avoid being "broke" or suffering with poverty. Some people genuinely earn the money, while others won't be bothered if they use dirty ways to acquire it.
A lot of people are definitely into crypto to just make money and not really focus on the technology behind it. I must admit that, much as I have learnt a lot about crypto and used it sometimes to my advantage, I have also made money off it (generally, of course
