NFTs are a scam, but saying that it's because you can download them without paying is missing the point. You could say the same thing about movies, music, games, art.

People in the cryptocurrency community believe that NFTs are used for money laundering. It's also believed that prices are inflated artificially to trick gullible or greedy people into buying them. But the download thing ? It's missing the point.

A scam implies someone is getting hurt. Yet I haven't seen anyone getting hurt. You might say that people will get hurt when the bubble pops but people have been saying the same thing about crypto for awhile.

No, that's not it. A scam implies that it's deliberate deception. People being hurt is neither here nor there.

And obviously people ARE getting hurt, but that doesn't mean it's a scam. It's just a crazy bubble.

I would say being deceived is also getting hurt…

Yes, a scam hurts people, but not everything that hurts people is a scam!

This is true. People gamble on the stock market all the time, yet nobody would call it a scam.
