This may be true, I don't think it is something we can measure but the inverse is not true in my experience. I have never found the ratio of hard core users with deep technical and economic knowledge to scammers in any space besides bitcoin. The bitcoin space has far higher signal to noise ratio. When people fall into the crypto space their knowledge rarely deepens. Every crypto person I have ever met doesn't understand even the most basic technical and economic reasons for bitcoin, let alone crypto tokens they "own". They only wanna get rich. They've been scammed basically.
