Tried to onboard people to crypto / Base / ETH over the weekend at a wedding with different levels of success. Will dive deeper into the results but there was one overwhelming theme. “Isn’t that all a scam” How do we fix this overall sentiment towards crypto?

there is also not a “straightforward” approach to onboarding that feels smooth and not overwhelming imho or that they need $ to enjoy what is the first thing that you showed them? and why?

I think what they're really saying is "I don't see the utility yet, other than for scammers"

It’s true—crypto and NFTs have a reputation problem. Scams and bad actors have made a lot of noise, and those stories stick. But there’s a side of this space that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: the communities, the grants supporting new projects, the incredible art, and the unique possibilities for creators and builders. Yes, this is a space where some people have found ways to take advantage. But the ecosystem is growing more aware, and there’s a real push to hold bad actors accountable. We need to start amplifying the good stories—the genuine connections, the doors that open, and the creative potential that’s transforming people’s lives. Crypto isn’t perfect, but it’s more than its worst moments. If we’re going to talk about it, let’s make sure we’re sharing a balanced perspective, too.

First they thought the internet is a scam now they think crypto is a scam. I’m done. The whole bank system is a scam and they don’t realize it. It is the ignorance and under education of the people not the product it self.

I think it greatly depends on where your audience is coming from… yet when I’m talking about a future of crypto I typically bring up transactions fees for merchants (especially small businesses) as a use case, as it’s also a lever I’m familiar with. If current interchange fees are ~2.9% plus a per transaction fee, I run numbers. Say if crypto can even reduce this to 1.9 % then that’s 1% more in the business owners bottom line. One might argue a 2.9 % transaction fee is a scam. Don’t even start on the Apple fees on the iPhone for apps etc. I also don’t dismiss the fact that there have been plenty of scams in crypto as it has developed, definitely the case. etc etc

There is the reputation problem for sure. But there are sooo many scams. It is not for nothing… I think the way is showing that it is mostly safe if people know the basics.

Its sad but for people outside web3 only things they hear are scammers, and to be fair a big part of the projects are cashgrabs or rugs, so for people that start from 0 is hard. Different for the ones that are here for some time. I love web3 but imo its still hard to start
