Episode notes
INSIGHT

Art As Apex Token

  • Raoul frames NFTs as the apex token within the Ethereum economy and a superior scarce asset class.
  • He argues art captures cultural value upstream of wealth creation and outperforms many assets over time.
INSIGHT

Networked Art Multiplies Reach

  • Batsoupyum calls this movement "networked art" because digital distribution and social networks do most of the work.
  • Network effects change discovery, promotion, and value capture compared with traditional galleries.
ADVICE

Broaden Holders To Grow Value

  • Encourage artists to mint accessible editions to expand their collector base and evangelists.
  • Broadening holders multiplies network value more than preserving extreme scarcity early on.
