all that maybe doesn't work as a business. but it sure does as an internet level protocol.

it is because them being valuable, known, and appreciated enables us to continue creating work, and selling it to this formed network of appreciators of the work. as an example, we created "Checks Elements" which are non editions but we auctioned quite successfully: https://elements.checks.art/ or we created the Mint Protocol and marking the launch sold a token that was collected ~150k times. https://mint.vv.xyz/0xcb52f0fe1d559cd2869db7f29753e8951381b4a3/1 the point i'm trying to make is again, information wants to be expensive at it's inception (meaning directing energy towards its creator). and creators have this incredible gift of being able to do create continuously. for all this to work, we don't have to build rails that tend to gamblers of the casino (and most often highly sophisticated bot farms). we can build rails that enable gardeners and genuine participation while disincentivizing participation from the gambling kind.

... that said, after the @visualizevalue.eth Checks and Opepen stories, i strongly believe (and am in line with Zora thinking i guess), that higher volume but lower price of the work substantially increase the potential economic energy directed towards creators. that's why we created the mint protocol (https://docs.mint.vv.xyz) with carefully chosen constraints: - push you to store assets on decentralized protocols - invite open "moment in time" participation for one day (by anyone, so it's uninteresting to bots or traders) - direct all economic energy to the creator (0% to a protocol other than the medium itself (ethereum)) they also have stronger secondary markets, allowing for participation of more people. Checks and Opepen have combined secondary trading of ~500 million USD. it is very efficient because they doesn't have any inherent friction (like royalties or trading fees) either. but again, that is besides the point as not in service of our work. EXCEPT IT IS: ...

... if there ever was a secondary market for these, the price for them would have to be absurdly high because i value being their steward and am looking forward gifting them to my children one day. and if the price were to become so "absurdly high" - then, the secondary market fulfills its function in service of spreading the idea because the fact something is expensive is an interesting signal to people. (see e.g. CryptoPunks/Beeple 5k). but again, even in this case the secondary market fails at the core function of being expensive in service of its creator. because just like with coins, or editions - i own these tokens, not Jack. ...
