    literally nobody fell for the grift

    Someone somewhere has an NFT instead of a bunch of money. Even if everyone participating knew this was a very expensive game of hot potato someone had to be holding the potato when the buzzer went off.

      Yeah, a lot of the NFT craze was pump and dump where people were selling NFTs to themselves. Even that famous digital artist who got super rich did it because the guy who paid him was trying to inflate the market. But, like any con game, there are suckers. Many of them aren’t rich, just stupid.
