hello @zacharyhsmall nice to meet you! 

why do you think there is a disparity in supply and demand in the crypto art scene? and if things are still over saturated supply, what do you think will happen long-term ?

thanks in advance!

yes. i agree on what the 2 investors said regarding the trauma and that secondary market is almost unnoticeable. however, this is mostly pfp projects. and the trend of overpromising and underdelivering did cause that trauma that one of the investors mentioned  

thanks for the AMA. looking forward for the next one !

Hello!

I texted some investors this question for you. One said that it is a liquidity problem; NFTs are not being traded at high enough frequencies to justify them buying more. Another said it was a trauma problem; they were burned by NFT rug pulls last cycle and would prefer to invest in memecoins, where they have no illusions of greatness.

There is no such thing as equilibrium in the art market, so I wouldn't expect to find one in digital art — but great artists find ways to defy expectations and gather interest. And I think crypto art should look for artists who reflect their values and engage with crypto in new/surprising ways.
