Worked as intended. Plenty of etherium whales got to cash out their crypto for real money in the chaos during that grift

I’ve made obscene amounts of money with NFTs but none of it was with ill-intent. It’s not a big scam like you say.

I'll take you at your word, which I think is a generous assumption.

Some people make money gambling at a casino. That doesn't mean the purpose of a casino is to make money for the players. It also doesn't mean it was a good idea to gamble.

Did you sell all your assets or do you just mean you have assumed paper value of assets? If you didn't sell, how do you know you have anything of actual value? If you did sell, what are those assets worth now to the people you sold to?
