art collecting - as opposed to "coin" collecting - is foundationally about connection with the art and/or artist. Editions exist in both the traditional art and onchain art worlds. Editions previously have at least been limited, often within 10-100. They are still a 1/X. But regardless collecting those pieces would be prompted by the buyer seeing the image, enjoying it and collecting it. As if it were something you could display in a gallery whether physical or digital like @deca or similar. 

The coin model encourages quick buys and trades based on financial incentives without any connection to the piece itself. You're not collecting art, you're buying coins of an image of an asset that could go up down or sideways. It lacks soul. While I do think this could work maybe for content, it doesn't sit right with the ethos of bringing art on chain for the digital provenance.

Interesting take about the language of “coins” could easily say each mint creates 1B Editions as erc-20 right?

Thanks for sharing - you could but it feels like buying shares of an asset rather than editions of a piece of art.

I’m curious how artists will find interesting ways to present works within this framework and get the language right.

Something like @ripe Liquidity Layer is clearly a work of art imho. 

I’m excited for further experimentation here and really love the thoughtful dialogue.
