Art my fans already own has increased in value 1–100x because I connected it to the blockchain as NFTs
Plus a thought experiment: Could you increase the value of NFTs by burning the physical art?
Hello, friends. I have a thought experiment for you today. About 97 of you received a postcard in the mail from me. I am going to try to increase the value of that art from hundreds of miles away through the power of ideas…
(The art I am talking about is an art project I call Postcard Zero. I made 100 cards, but I still have three left. You can see all 100 postcards here, if you are curious: adrian3.com/postcards/ If you didn’t receive one, hunt me down and get your name on my mailing list. I’ll have more postcards in the future, so you might want to get on the list, anyway, before the next batch goes out.)
What’s a postcard like this worth? You could say that it’s only worth the paper it’s printed on. It’s a ten cent card, a 3 cent label, and if you give me credit for the stamp you are in the $0.50-$0.75 range. Hopefully it’s worth more than that, but who knows? Maybe it’s priceless!
Piece of advice: If somebody says they gave you a priceless piece of artwork, maybe don’t take their word for it. How do you trust someone anyway?
