Blockchain and NFT are not synonymous. All Camrys are cars but not all cars are Camrys.

Eh, the relationship isn’t quite the same as that one.
It’s more like the relationship between a video game framework and a video game. Pygame, Unity, or Godot are not games you can play; they’re tools for programmers to build games with.
Similarly, blockchain is a technology for implementing scams; NFTs are one specific scam.

By that logic the US dollar is a means for facilitating crime. It’s certainly used for that, a lot, but that isn’t what it is for. A blockchain is for keeping an immutable and verifiable record by way of cryptography. That there are a lot of scams doesn’t change what it is.

Bullshit and horseshit are different, but they’re both shit.

I think it's more that they tend not to get invited to non-monkey PNG meetups. Possibly in part due to their habit of turning any meetup into a monkey PNG one.
