One point that's not clear to me yet, is what drives the demand and price. What makes someone want to collect a cast?

Rn, the answer seems to be, the author of the cast, ie. the social capital they already have on (or bring to) Farcaster.

Which leaves out the "new creator", whose social capital is zero.

Can a new creator post something that is not just interesting, or funny, but collection-worthy? Will be interesting to see. (Maybe speculation on the future of the creator can be a driver.)

You think it’s funny. You want to show appreciation and you get a momento for it. 

That’s it. It’s not like investing in Bitcoin in 2011. Assume you never sell / there’s no future demand.

Friendly Reminder: 

The ONLY reason a Collectibles market exists IRL is because there are multiple real live human beings who find the *collectible itself* intrinsically valuable enough to own for a non-value-accruing purpose

Without that, it’s tulips all the way down

Seems like it could be a pretty big way to promote a cast for visibility. Basically - how much are you willing to burn to promote a cast.
