I remember calling NFTs a scam and my friend hated me saying that.

When I use the phrase NFTs I was referring to the culture, usage and trading and all of that jazz. He was specifically talking about the technical implementation. So there was that ...

I then said, "if 99% of anything is a description of it, I think we can safely use that descriptor"
