This is a rant/desperate plea for the digital art space... The buyers experience for new entrants is awful. There is no way to buy simple baskets of art to gain exposure to make it easy to start. No one knows how to enter the space. No one makes it easy. I get asked this every day - "how do I start ?". We fail them. Even if we say buy a Punk, it's not easy. The experience is awful. There is no easy curation for newbies. Where does someone start? We fail them. There is no quality curation for existing collectors. No AI that says "hey you love this style, have you seen this". We fail them. People can't show their art without integrating yet another app and connecting it. You store your art in a different place too. Some art doesnt show there because the token is not supported. We fail them. You might borrow against your art on a different place too. It's far from full integration. We fail here too. You get liquidity maybe even in another place. More mess... Private sales are on a who you know basis. New serious buyers have no idea how to do this. We help no one except as individuals. There are 3 main market places. No one know why to use one vs an other. They don't help anyone start or build. All are a mess. Artists mint across various platforms and that fragments further. Many mints are not on decentralized storage so you have that risk too. Artist are struggling to showcase work. There is no way to curate for collectors of artists, styles, price points etc. Discovery is a shit show On-phone display is a mess too with different solutions but nothing that integrates with storage and screen display due to lack of integration. Then there are all the chains that art is listed on getting fragmented too. You can't see all your art in one place on your phone. Anyone show art has an issue with indexing too. No one does a good cross chain job of it. I could do on... It's a fucking shit show. This NEEDS to get solved via consolidation of players and a cohesive vision for the art space. It is so fucking obvious how big this will all be but everyone is holding it back by a lack of vision and capital (due to lack of vision) I've spoken to most of you but the inertia is exhausting. Anyone who builds this can raise all the capital they need. We need a home for artists and collectors. It doesn't exist. It's a mess. We can do so much better if we consolidate and work to a common goal. Also, stop launching tokens ! It's a zero value cash grab that fails every time. @opensea @SuperRare @gondixyz @whitewallsapp @manifoldxyz @TransientLabs @blur_io @Kanbas_ etc. Reach out if you want to chat. I want to help solve this.
