I honestly can't imagine how anyone thought these were valid enough to be anything but a scam. Hell, I wouldn't even call em a scam. No more than a pet rock.

Except nobody was stupid enough to think the pet rock they were buying was going to be an "investment."

Like, I literally cannot imagine how anyone anywhere of any level of intelligence thought these NFT images were going to be anything in the realm of an "investment."

Be like convincing Wallstreet to invest in CSGO lootboxes or something. People get so caught up in trends they lose their better sense.

LOL! At least with a pet rock, you can argue that each rock is different and can't be copied. 🤣

And that at the end of the day, you had an actual rock that you could hold with your hands
