In trad art there’s a strong narrative around secondary sales. 

In web3, primary market sales seems to drive the narrative. It seems like the market is always looking ahead. And the secondary market, especially for 1/1s is less active. 

I think that’ll change and more folks will prioritize looking backwards when collecting, opposed to what’s current.

so, i almost posted the other day about how secondary market is key. to everything. im not sure why so many places havent figured that out yet.

if you limit your buying audience to those that can afford to continually drop money and never see a return (or have confidence they could get one) then you shrink your market considerably.

i do think the always trying to capture the 'next' novel revenue idea, rather than solidify/validate what already exists, is an issue with platforms and collector confidence, and leading to massive artist burnout.
