This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The confidence of people commenting here that have little idea what an NFT even is kinda funny if not sad. You're on the anti-NFT bandwagon just as much as tech bros are on the pro-NFT bandwagon.
The fact is blockchain is a technology that can hold value, why would people think it's somehow immune to being used by bad actors? Does the blockchain enable more fraud than the dollar?
At this point I hope no one’s surprised about this.
I'm surprised with the amateurish design of the smart contracts.
NFTs have a place but it isn't central to the Internet. That was hype to separate idiots who didn't know better from their money, aka grifting, and that kind of grifting has used literally everything to do that same thing in the past so NFTs are not a unique tool to that end.
Fortunately, nothing of actual value was lost. Just fools being parted from their money.
