I feel the same toward them, but I also recognize that their behavior is guided by opportunism. They create grift on a foundation of something which has broad appeal, and I try to focus on the reasons for which crypto has that appeal instead of the opportunity it creates for such grift. We should all be active in the education that you mention, be advocates, identify well-intentioned challenges to projects we support and further the discourse. On an economic level, the knowledge of why BTC was conceived in the first place should enlighten a precoiner to the fiat system that keeps them impoverished, and hopefully lead them to invest in a way that frees them from the poverty that incentivized their participation in scams at all.
