As long as I can take a screenshot of any random NFT and integrate a picture into my website, there's no fucking way those things are worth anything.
They're worth a lot if you're laundering money
I'd rather launder money through physical art, at least I can put that on my wall in the interim and don't have to first find means to convert my illegally acquired cash into a digital currency.
The problem with laundering money through physical art is that it's getting more tightly regulated... in fact that happened around about the same time as NFTs started to get big.
The purchase is legitimate! My left hand really bought the NFT from my right hand!
You think it's funny to take screenshots of people's NFTS, huh? Property theft is a joke to you? l'll have you know that the blockchain doesn't lie. I own it. Even if you save it, it's my property. You are mad that you don't own the art that I own. Delete that screenshot.
