There’s a strange disconnect in the NFT space where everyone still seems to agree on their cultural value (or at least general enjoyment), yet the vertical hasn’t come close to reclaiming its former momentum. 

Why?

I think most participants don’t find them as enjoyable or culturally valuable if they aren’t making money on them

The art literally looks better when the prices are higher

Yeah this is extremely unironically true. 

Also feel like the primary platforms optimized for the wrong things generally.

Great point and resonant with how I think about art.

It exists in context.

similar principle to how expense a wine is perceived to be?
