some thoughts for many types of content, it makes sense to auto have a coin or mass abundance, 100 pennies still = $1 however, bucketing artists in “coining everything” feels off - i am no expert, but art has been around for millennia and it’s often valued based on scarcity, emotion, feel i don’t believe abundance and scarcity are mutually exclusive in this new world, both should exist onchain for various purposes global liquidity benefits 1/1s, open editions, and coins ALL of these are ownership breakthroughs, not just coins 1/1 ~= art in an exhibition/museum open edition ~= postcards/stamps (ht @wanderloots.eth) coin ~= fractionalized representation of content my whole point is to say there isn’t one “right” way - and i don’t think we as a collective whole should push for a certain way over another, the goal is choice/freedom a tiktok video? prob great as a coin! art/photography? i personally lean towards editions or 1/1 the key is choice where the main onchain distribution lives

and lastly, i think it’s cool what base did today, a great example of using a new tool/framework to experiment the example today is the type of content i see a coin making sense for point above isn’t about how they did it, it’s about how i see it on the artist side of things

Freedom of choice is fundamental. Everyone has the right to choose what is best for his work (of course I’m talking from the photographer side). I think we need to separate the value from the price. As you said, value can be based by scarcity and emotions, but the price is a mere number created by the market. Coining everything eliminates automatically the value from the equation and keep the focus only on the price. My conclusion is: I am wary of artists who focus on price.

So really curious about it: what do you think about a coin that updates everyday rather then coining every single artwork everyday?🤔

Great take — really appreciate the nuance here. The idea that abundance and scarcity can coexist onchain is super important. Too often we treat them as binary, but in reality, they serve different roles depending on the intent behind the content. Totally agree that not everything needs to be coined — art especially carries weight through context, intention, and rarity. Forcing uniformity risks flattening that depth. Your analogy breakdown (1/1, OE, coin) is spot on — each has its own cultural and functional lane. The win is in enabling creators to choose the format that aligns best with their vision, not locking them into one mold. Choice is the unlock.

Totally agree—there’s no one right way. Coins, editions, 1/1s all have value. It’s about giving creators the freedom to choose what fits their work best.
