Crypto Scam Alert & Education Platform

Bitcoin ATMs are being exploited by scammers targeting vulnerable people, leading to real harm. Build an educational SaaS tool that helps users identify crypto scams, verify ATM legitimacy, and understand common fraud patterns. Target: individuals new to crypto, community organizations, and local governments.

Bitcoin ATM fraud is surging — the FTC reported consumers lost over $110 million to crypto ATM scams in 2023 alone, a tenfold increase from 2020, making regulatory and community pressure for solutions very real right now. No clear incumbent owns the consumer-facing education and ATM verification space, though the FBI and FTC publish static guidance that nobody actually uses in the moment of a transaction. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band reflects the hard truth here: individuals won't pay, so monetization depends on B2B contracts with municipalities, credit unions, or community nonprofits, which are slow to close and small in budget. The biggest risk is that this is fundamentally a public awareness problem, which means the most natural buyers are governments and NGOs who expect free or grant-funded tools, not paid SaaS subscriptions.
