Despite that, I still live in hope that one day, far off into the future, it may actually achieve its goal of decentralizing finance in a way that benefits the many, rather than the few it currently does.<\/p>\n<p>But we\u2019re still a long way from that. And, of course, this is to say nothing of its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/how-to\/what-is-the-environmental-impact-of-cryptocurrency\">environmental impact<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I hold none of this hope for NFTs.

Here\u2019s the short version: NFTs don\u2019t do what they promise and are simply a tool for creating artificial scarcity. And, with that, making a lot of cash for the people at the top of the pyramid.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"This_is_why_NFT_must_be_pronounced_%E2%80%9Cnay-fey-tay%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>This is why NFT must be pronounced \u201cnay-fey-tay\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cNeft\u201d (or even \u201cNFT\u201d) provides too much validation for such a shitshow.

That\u2019s why I need to teach you how to pronounce it properly.<\/p>\n<p>On first inspection, you may presume nay-fey-tay contains three syllables. WRONG. There are actually six of them in there.<\/p>\n<p>Listen, you can\u2019t just hop through each syllable, you\u2019ve got to savor them, roll them in your mouth, use your vocal chords to reach for the stars.<\/p>\n<p>It should sound something like: \u201cnay-ayyy-feyy-eyy-tayy-ayyyy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Go on, give it a go.
