That was one feature that was actually useful. Immediately you knew if you should just block someone and move on.

While the value of some of the high-priced tokens such as the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) has plummeted from its peak, the NFT market has shown a sign of recovery in the last few months with trade volumes exceeding $1.6 billion according to NFT aggregator CryptoSlam.

Who is still falling for this scam? Even Xitter is Xitting on NFTs at this point, and morons are still buying them.

Err, isn’t it just mostly criminals doing various criminal schemes using NFTs as a tool?

It was never a scam, it was always a successful money laundering operation for the rich while covid had all the real galleries closed. It did exactly what it said on the tin. It’s just unfortunate that some people thought it was a real economy to begin with. Either way, good riddance.
