Nouns

One Noun, every day, forever.

This is sad. 

For reference. We ran a program of 100 artists creating cc0 artwork. Over 6 months. 

All in minting was just under 5k. 

This bot - mints. Gifts. Fanfare. 

And yet. Nothing dramatically new.

AI building AI bots.

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?

Can you explain more what you mean about provenance? I understand provenance as a concept but don’t think it inherently drives value. 

Can also just watch your show for this if you’re going into this tomorrow :)

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.

Are you saying you think this is proven as the model now, we should Play A Different Game eg figuring out subculture patronage, or something else?

This only serves to prove Zora’s model tbh. It’s not an art platform but a way to monetize memes (the shared culture definition, not the funny joke variant).
