"If these NFT collectors were more careful, it wouldn't be like this, right?"
A non-fungible token (NFT) collector who wanted to borrow money to buy other NFTs suffered a huge loss when his collection of CryptoPunks worth 77 Ethereum (ETH) was sent to a burn address to be permanently destroyed.
Explained in more detail, an NFT collector named Brandon Riley bought CryptoPunk #685 which cost 77 ETH on March 13 with the hope of keeping it for the long term.
As an experienced investor, Riley borrowed money to buy other NFTs through a popular technique known as wrapping*, where he learned how important it is to have a digital collection before the crypto market sees an increase in price.
