Sure, because anyone can create and list a token on Uniswap. The only cost are the gas fees. That doesn't mean those tokens have any real liquidity or are being used. Just like anyone can create a website and put it online. The only cost are the hosting fees. That doesn't mean it'll get any visitors.

Yet 97% of websites will not steal your money.

What constitutes a scam?

I'm about as much of an NFT hater as you can be.

But people spend money on lots of "dumb" stuff.

So why is an NFT a scam if Pokemon cards aren't?

Both of them are artificially scarce. Both of them are mainly about buying cute pictures. And at least for a lot of the buyers, it's about speculating the price will go up in the future.

Who says Pokemon cards aren't? ;)

For reference, Uniswap is a cryptocurrency exchange which uses a decentralized network protocol. The protocol facilitates automated transactions between cryptocurrency tokens on the Ethereum blockchain through the use of smart contracts.

Would you mind explaining that in even simpler terms?
