I understand that crypto is a scam that will rob millions of people of money they desperately need.
But what you said there is literally the end of my understanding of what crypto is. It has something to do with computers solving math problems, and somehow that’s worth money.
What?
"it's somehow worth money" is basically true of all fiat currencies. It's worth what the consensus agrees it is worth.

What is a fiat currency?
