NFT’s closest analogue is art in the public domain.

Individually owned, but free to share and use by anyone.

When it’s freely shared and used it’s not detracting value from the original, it’s adding value.

Mona Lisa IG posts, IRL posters, remixes etc all add value to the OG
NFTs mean we no longer need to trade off universal accessibility and usage for value capture on the internet.

It inverts how we think about the internet today.

NFTs mean that the more the object is shared and used the more valuable it becomes.
“The future of collecting may be less in owning the thing that nobody else has, and more in owning the thing that everybody else has.”

Once Upon a Time in Shaolin highlights the extreme opposite of this.

Owning something no one else has. Not only did it mean it couldn’t be shared with the world, I’d argue it was sold for pennies on the dollar of its actual value.

It was probably still better than streaming tho
Information wants to be free.
Information also wants to be expensive.

Now it can be both.

New paradigm.
