Yeah totally agreed on the sweet spot being something in between Soundcloud and a DEX.
There are a few projects playing around with more fungible tokens/bonding curve based models I'm keeping a close eye on.
The reality is the way we get most new artists on now is removing any notion of speculation or utility - it's just another ordinary income stream for them.
My biggest fear with adding a lot of volatility into the mix is that the stakes become too high for artists to be down to experiment at scale.
IMO $1 editions with a rebate + some points back is a healthy starting point for emerging artists to feel comfortable dipping their toes in (and what's worked for us)
