Why? The middle people in a pyramid scheme are still winners.

You can be a winner if you're selling pickaxes during a gold rush, but less so if you're building a pickaxe factory. Shopify's NFT stuff was closer to the latter.

NFTs aren't a pyramid scheme. They are a pump-and-dump scheme and involved lots of wash trading.
