I'm sorry but this shit has to end! NFTs are valuable monetary tools but shit like this makes it hard for people to take the concept seriously.

Never heard of NFT so I looked it up. Here's what I got. I'm pretty sure it means "Not for tourists".

National Film Theatre, the original name of the BFI Southbank
Neurofibrillary tangle, aggregates of hyperphosphorylated tau protein
nft, a command in the nftables subsystem of the Linux kernel
NFT, a timezone for the Norfolk Island external territory of Australia
NFT Ventures, Inc., a family trust established by U.S. computer businessman Ray Noorda
Non-fungible token, a unit of data on a digital ledger called a blockchain
***Not for Tourists, a series of guides to major cities
Nutrient film technique, a hydroponic technique

@aluaces

Thank you.

Yes, although I never heard of the term "non-fungible token", I knew he was talking about block-chains and deduced what NFT was after looking it up. My comment about "not for tourists" was a joke, inferring that people who were unfamiliar with the terrain might want to avoid them.

Also, it was another callback to my rant at:
qoto.org/@Pat/1066522513978912

@Pat many times acronyms are used to draw away strangers, but this time NFTs were widely named by the media as NFTs. Anyway, "Non-fungible Token" is clear as mud the first time one sees it.
