This has to be a scam of some sort, but i don’t even see how the people at the top are making money.

    Ah… so you’re specifically mentioning about the news article in question?

    If you repay the loan, [your NFT token] comes back home. If not, [the token] gets a new owner. Simple as that!

    I guess this explains everything… Probably just ppl hustling each other lol. And I assume given what types of shady characters are into NFTs, there are probably a lot of them who want to hustle another person out of some cash

        I wouldn’t be surprised if someone does. I mean banks also just shuffle money around and guess who has a bunch of cash lying on hand so… Goes back to the gold rush era, but there are folks who mine the gold and folks who mine the miners

        Also some tech companies can be at a loss for years but run on VC money

        So… I don’t know, but again I wouldn’t be surprised if they are making something to keep this nonsense going
