I'm sure they were a great way to launder money at the time.

    That's why it's at the time. I made a quick $600 and never looked back cuz I knew it was unstable, but I wasn't ignorant to the idea like many people who just wanted to bandwagon hate.

    Ignorant to the idea? The idea was basically a spreadsheet with links to PNGs and """"owner"""" of that PNG. Blockchain only means nobody owns the sheet itself, but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous.

    And money still went up for a quick amount of time. I knew what I was getting into, but I also knew it was a quick cash grab. A lot of people online just wanted to hate crypto to hate crypto. My friend has been spreading news about Bitcoin since 2011 and he had a hard drive that sold for $10k at one of its peaks. Quick cash grab and never look back.
