it's obviously a scam that the elites are trying to get going off the ground floor, but regular people realize they might be able to make a profit off it while it is still new, and if they don't someone else might. People getting into it are trying to get rich quick, they don't care about the broader implications. It's just the same as fiat money coming from the central banks like you say, people don't know who runs that, well it's the rothschilds but most don't know or care, why did people start using paper money in the first place hundreds of years ago? Because the govts of the time told them it was worth something, at first people were probably skeptical and wanted to stick with their bartering system but people that grabbed up the paper dollars at first probably benefitted in the long run from it.
