Cameron Builds

gm woke up spicy today and ready to argue that crypto’s biggest art innovation is actually just giving artists a CTA to share that they feel less gross about


(mint is higher status than buy)

ofc ofc i’ve only got so many characters to play with here haha

I don't really disagree with this take but there are levels of nuance to it. Like sure digital artists could have sold their jpegs on gumroad but it would have been embarrassing And there was no real market for it.

yea I agree w all this

Also separate but related to the CTA

I wonder why we haven’t seen something like a “payment stream” concurrent with an experiential art project - like turns on to engage with the project, turn off when finished

interesting, so in a sense artists can measure interest/response to the CTA as how valuable the status symbol happens to be now or in lesser future circumstances. though not sure all art is transient or static mint/buy, so crypto art hasn't achieved a complete CTA.

I didn’t say it was a more compelling CTA for high status buyers haha

Universal gambling drive is clearly dominant over anything relative status game-y a la art collection  

Artists are just much more likely to POST about their purchasable work now bc they don’t hate the CTA which drives distribution at scale

then why are mints so dominated by traders instead of collectors

I remember that feeling when I first started minting my lens based motion art in early 2021. It was less about getting someone to buy it as it was about that satisfying sense that I was giving my work provenance on the blockchain. If someone chose to buy it that was a bonus.
