Minting art is not going to go mainstream.

I think 50% of the resistance to the new Zora coin model is an unwillingness to admit this.

1. Yes - minting art is not going to go mainstream in the next decade.
2. PMF.

do you genuinely believe buying art is “mainstream” in the traditional landscape? what are you even trying to solve for?

Re new Zora model:

Artists want to sell something to make an honest living.

Traders want a ticket to buy low and sell high 

The further a platform chases the latter, the less they serve the former.

There's no $1B platform play in art platforms (many have tried: DeviantArt, Gumroad, Patreon, and more).

Plenty of $10-100MM opportunities though.

Agreed, and that's totally fine!

Do you feel this way about minting in general or just art/creative works?

I agree with this take that most of the resistance is being unwilling to let go of minting as a primary means for creator monetization.

I find myself on this midcurve hill currently

hypertokenization is not going to go mainstream either
