At least the scammers of old used to get new Bitcoiners to buy shitcoins, but the ones now are getting them to waste money on hashrate and run (faulty) nodes. I think that makes these new ones at least better than Vitalik and co.

It does likely make them a little easier to fall for though.

I do still worry about the replay attacks we'll no doubt end up hearing about. Guess people gotta touch the hot stove..
