Listening to @neilhimself's NORSE MYTHOLOGY (great) and we're at the bit where the gods, advised by Loki, have promised the moon and are trying to escape.
Loki: Here you go.
Builder: This isn't the moon.
Loki: It's an immutable blockchain token PROVING you own the moon.

Builder: Can I do anything with it?
Loki: You can sell it to someone else! Then THEY own the record on the blockchain dubiously associated with the moon.

Builder: And this isn't Freya the Beautiful. This is just a picture, and not of her. It's some ugly ape in a hat.
Loki: Ah, see that's BETTER than Freya. That's a Bored Ape NFT! It will definitely maybe be worth a fortune someday.

Builder: Well, if it's worth a fortune...
Loki: *checks phone, snatched picture back* Sorry, the server was just hacked. I'm afraid you don't own this anymore, I'll take it to TrollLord69420.

Loki: *slams the gate to Asgard, puts out a sign that says "Down for scheduled maintenance. Funds are safe."*

In sum if Loki is still around in the modern world I assume he's working at Tether.
