I’ve always viewed NFTs as app data. The most common apps we use are wallets, marketplaces, and maybe for some people galleries. Maybe you like seeing your collection in Rainbow, or maybe you like trying to make money on OpenSea. This is not sustainable.
Minting someone’s work makes sense if there’s an app you can use it in, and my argument to date has been we’ve been building backwards. Everyone’s creating random data first, collecting money, and then hoping apps just magically appear. That well has run dry. Look how many artists in web3 complain about unsold work. I argue if you build the app first the collecting/minting will come naturally.
I am currently building such an app I hope others look to for inspiration. Moshicam has more creators than collectors. TheGrid.eth is a collaborative photo grid that lets people use their collected photos.
