Nah. Cryptocoin users fluidly switch between cryptocoins. You could be into... I dunno... Lunacoin... and by next week you'd have changed all your money into Mooncoin before anyone notices. In fact, I can pump Lunacoin while I'm selling it and no one would be wise to my tricks.

OCR users don't really. Its a lot of friction.

There's a reason why cryptocoins were so good at scamming. They were fluid enough that you could be a dishonest snake. But if you write like a 10,000 line codebase using tesseract-ocr, you ain't switching off of that without some serious amounts of effort. (Certainly not a week's worth of effort IMO).

I don't really know what you're arguing against. Are you arguing that cryptocoin users don't form communities?
