❓Cryptoart Question of the Week ❓

How do you feel about the idea of assigning a "floor price" to an Artist? Does it help or hurt the perception of an artist’s value?

No one can “assign” a price to an artists work except the artist themselves. Also floor price insinuates and artists worth is largely reflective of their lowest sale price / bid which - in my opinion and we’ve seen in many cases over the years - can be quite toxic

i disagree. a price is often assigned to an artists work without input from the artist all the time. auction houses, collectors, etc. all assign a price.

that said, i agree that the idea of a "floor price" is toxic, but as many have pointed out. it's likely here to stay. so what can artist do to balance that out on their end?

Ignore the noise, continue creating dope art and cutting out toxic narratives that get in their way ✌️
