ZORBS by ZORA

Thoughts on @zora $coins so far?

Do we collect, buy or invest in coins now?

«Shitcoins with pictures» is becoming more and more true

Why artificially? 

I think every creation is now a coin, yes, but I don’t think the volume is artificial, it’s from people buying and selling

Just tested.. uuumm... It's a pump fun redesigned? 
A picture for 10M coins but no NFT anymore, without any choice? 

If it's to artificially pump Zora or Base volume, that's gross 😅

Not really interested in what Zora is doing right now

Just have fun and support artists, I suppose.

Assume none of them reach Valhalla unless Beeple or Jack Butcher drop one.

Even @jessepollak’s coin went from like $10m to sub-$100k. Nauseating, but par for the course. Not blaming Jesse, impossible to. Just is what it is.

🧭Recalibrating 🌍Worldbuilding

We need a best of both worlds strategy to bridge art & content:

Content should not be considered art. Content is what is used to promote art (or other value encapsulant, eg YouTube videos).

Monetizing content via coins or low cost mint meta is great! It leads to sustainable creation, larger audiences, & the micro transaction layer that has been missing from the internet.

But this should not be conflated with low supply, higher cost “art”. Mixing the two makes collectors value art less & artists feel like they’re not appreciated.

The key issue here is that we’re not aligned between creators, collectors, & consumers.

Collectors want collectibles with long term value potential. This aligns with artists, but is a small pool.

Consumers want coins they can speculate with. This aligns with artists wanting to make a living from a larger pool, but can leave Artists feeling undervalued.

Content =/= art

What do you think of the new paradigm?

As an artist, I will not be using zora again. Not against people using/creating memecoins being an option, but am against it being the ONLY option. Anything on their platform is now erc-20s, which completely takes away and incentive for me to want to put my artwork on there.

Prior, u could do anything on zora, 1/1s, auctions, burns, collections, editions, and more, but over the last 2 years they’ve been slowing removing things because it’s “too old and fragile” and telling artists to go somewhere else to do what they wanna do. So we will. 

Artists determine how their artwork is created, not platforms.
