There’s a tension between the subculture catalyst thesis and how speculation drives the crypto economy today. See this QC of how the higher bot is getting loads of mints vs artists program. There’s probably a way to drive speculative mints as a subculture: do historic, outlier things in the subculture But that’s not easy! And do we wanna subsidize getting there and if so how much? https://warpcast.com/sqx/0x77b37fed

I don’t think it’s speculative. In this case, it’s also provenance. And @sqx can say it’s not dramatically new, except that it is. And that’s why it’s getting so much attention. We’re in an attention economy. Capture attention; capture the value that goes with it.

I disagree. But that’s not new. 🤣🤣 Mostly that attention economy is worth much in the long run. Short term. Sure. But to me that’s a net negative. I also don’t think it’s all that new. I’m sure some research probably shows this was done well before now. And to me it’s AI building AI. Lacks that. OMG factor.

It’s new here. And that’s where the attention is coming from so definitely new. There hasn’t been a bot this interactive and interesting launching bounties and tipping people higher. That’s why it’s popping off. And agree — it’s short term attention. We’ll move on in a week to the next shiny object (or a civil war —which ever comes first) Guess my point is — it’s hard to attract attention to art these days. And completely different from what’s happening with aethernet. That can’t be duplicated. It’s a one off.

I’ll just let the folks be happy and spend their money how they want. ↑ (I think @mfergpt was out and about doing most prior) Agreed comparison of mint to art is not equal. PS. If the bot was like. This is amazing. I should mint this for provenance. I would agree more. But this was mrtn saying. I’m going to have the bot mint this…
