Given the coins debate, here’s a mechanism that I think could make sense for higher effort artworks: 1- Mint artwork as a token with a bonding curve attached to it. Anyone can buy from it. 2- Allow users to “lock” their tokens in exchange for the NFT. 3- NFT represents the artwork as well as your position (how early you were and how much you bought). 4- Distribute trading fees to creator and lockers This way you encourage long-term holding and community building. Price is more predictable. Bonus point: locked eth earns yield such that game is non zero-sum anymore. Would love to get good feedback on this! Thoughts?

I think we are overcomplicating things. It sounds like an overengineered approach that should be easier to understand. What problem solves this new approach?

Hey, thanks for the comments! The way I see it it’s mainly two: - Creating incentives for long-term holding vs short-term trading while still allowing for price discovery and speculation. - Creating more sustainable and predictable markets such that more people feel like participating. I can see how it might feel overcomplicated and over engineered, but I’m not sure it’s that much really!

Explaining this to an outsider is going to be complicated. For me, the issue is speculation. It is difficult to remove it while probably supporting the artists.

Yes, it’s not super easy to explain, that’s true, hopefully good UX would be able to compensate for it. Regarding speculation, I’m not sure it needs to be removed though, but maybe make it less zero-sum. Appreciate your thoughts!

Also, I have reached a point where I just want to buy art. As simple as that. And nowadays it feels like this is becoming more complicated over time.

I just want to give you an example. I love comics. I have been buying and collecting them since I was 15 years old. I'm now 45, so let's say that I have buy a lot of them 😃 Buying comics is as simple as going to the store and pay for it. As simple as that. Some covers a different, some a more common, but the purchase process is really simple. When buying a comic I'm not thinking about trading, listing, etc. It is way more simple and I miss this process in web3. Nowadays you have to go through so many loops that buying an nft and thinking the artist will get payed is difficult to say the least.
