Thoughts I wrote on my flight back from the bay area after some really cool conversations. Self reflections not aimed at anyone:
Art does not become content just because it lives online.
Speculation can drive attention. It cannot sustain meaning.
A rising floor price is not the same thing as cultural relevance.
Markets move fast. Taste moves slowly.
Liquidity is loud. Conviction is quiet.
A cooling market does not erase the work that was made.
Hype has a short memory. Culture does not.
Financial outcomes and artistic value rarely move in sync.
Not every collector is a speculator. Not every speculator is a collector.
Distribution models evolve. The question is what they optimize for.
Price discovery is a market function, not an artistic one.
A market cycle ending is not the same as a cultural moment ending.
Some people leave when volatility rises. Others arrive when noise drops.
The loudest phase of a movement is rarely its most important.
Markets correct faster than narratives do.
Art was never obligated to perform like an asset.
