I know it sounds ridiculous, but wouldn't people with the listed NFT be able to take out a loan, receive actual money from Rollbit, then default on the loan and simply disappear? The issue of defaulting is not even mentioned or discussed in their article. In fact, this NFT Loan craze has the potential to be abused by money-hungry turds.
On the bright side, if someone intentionally defaulted on a loan with their NFT as collateral, they could end up losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars if Rollbit successfully sold an artwork worth far more than the loaned NFT. One example is this[1].
It is not here yet, so I am going to postpone my judgment until it happens. I want to see how NFT as collateral loans could work, because to me there is no possible way that it could ever work. There could be some examples here and there but I feel like Rollbit can't be selling for that much higher than what it was worth when they initially gave out the loan.
This is like giving out Mona Lisa as a collateral, I mean I have a certain amount of money, even if I give everything I own, I can't pay enough for it, but there could be "someone" out there who would. So, it means we just have to wait and see if that person would pay for that NFT in the end. If they would, then Rollbit is in the luck and this will work, if not then they are going to drop the price and they would have to handle this a lot more professionally than any other place and make a profit from it.
