I have always thought they were dodgy.

Some are probably scams from the get go. Others probably start out with good intentions but are effectively scams because they have no intrinsic value to support the rising values. No matter what, I was not interested.

I just thought that last night was a tipping point where they were trying to lure millions more people into it.

Like that old story of the shoe shine boy, when it seems too easy...run.
