Doesn't sound too likely at least for UK mortgages unless you lie to the lender on the purpose of raising capital (commit mortgage fraud).
Residential mortgages are regulated and raising capital for "speculative investments" isn't something lenders typically allow, geared investing like that isn't likely to be considered responsible lending even if it's technically affordable.

It was apparently something being pushed quite a lot on Fox News channels in the US, so I've little sympathy for that audience

Quite normal to pay off credit card debt when remortgaging, placing it on the lower rate mortgage. For people who have decent equity in their home, I imagine it's quite easy to do.
Dumb, but easy.

Not sure if serious.
Spend your healthcare premiums on NFTs to fly to the state where you can exercise control over your own body, based on the advice of someone on Twitter. This is 2021.

Trust me I am strawberry floating up all kinds of gooseberry fool at the moment. I forgot to pay one of my employees yesterday, ordered wrong size for a customer, I'm not surprised I forgot which year it is in July.

I feel like I am just opening this thread every couple of days to half arsedly mock the crypto space - but more particularly NFTs. Yet they make it so easy.
