Impossible at this point. I'm not even remotely joking when I say I have never seen a more powerful misinformation campaign in my entire life, for anything political even, as I did for brainwashing the masses into believing that NFT = JPEG. Literally almost every human you will encounter knows the term NFT and thinks as a fact that it's just another image file type, but in particular one that was heavily memed and morons/criminals moved incredible sums of money over. They don't understand that a lot of the extremely high dollar NFT sales are just money laundering or other criminal loopholes, they just think really rich people are paying millions for monkey pictures. It's the most lost cause of anything. You might as well try convincing the world that religion isn't real; right as you may be, it's impossible to accomplish.
