Yes, NFTs are a scam.
- capableweb 6y agoWell, if NFTs are a scam, then anything you buy for money is a scam. Usually we reserve "scams" for "trickeries", fooling someone out of their money, when they don't really want to. In this case, people are willingly buying NFTs. Maybe a better word is to use "hyped" or "mania" or something, because it's not really a "scam" as no one really own NFTs as a whole and are fooling others. Disclaimer: I'm myself not into NFTs because it mostly seems like hype at this point, I own zero NFTs myself and have no interest in buying. But I also care about accuracy.
- ivanche 6y ago> In this case, people are willingly buying NFTs. People being scammed, by definition, don't know they're being scammed. Otherwise they wouldn't be scammed. They also willingly buy something they believe is real.
- capableweb 6y agoWhat do you mean "they believe is real"? NFTs are "real", not sure what you're on about. Or is it all fake, no one is actually trading NFTs? Yes, people are stupid. Does that mean they are being scammed? No, they're just idiots.
