"#Collectibles market size was estimated at $402B in 2021 and is expected to cross $1T by 2032." -@MarketDecipher
@AmericanaNFT provides an ecosystem for #artists & #creators to interact with #collectors who can then engage with producers and consumers alike.
1/14 🧵
2/@NFTerps, @dozaster, @NPecor, and @musicalnetta of @AmericanaNFT shared insights and alpha around the future of physical collectibles in a digital world at #NFTNYC2022
Vibe? "Buy shit you love."
What is Americana? Let’s peel the🧅
3/Stripping away digital art and using #NFTs for their core value - digital #provenance, #proofofownership & proof of origin. 📜
How does this improve physical collecting?
4/With physical collecting, significant risk & friction in peer-to-peer txs lead to low liquidity. 💔
Compare that with frictionless #NFT marketplaces that offer perpetual #royalties to #creators while providing #simplicity to buyers, on their schedule, and at their discretion.
5/Physical collectors "have been online since the bulletin board days" with relatively few innovative products to enhance their collecting experience.
If @ChristiesInc, @pawnstars, & @opensea had a baby, it would be @AmericanaNFT ❤️
6/"#Transformative to be able to collect a #pinball machine, without ever physically interacting with it, shipping it, vaulting it, ensuring it is protected, and then selling it.
So many logistics on either end. With @AmericanaNFT you can cut out all of that." 🔥
7/The less a physical collectible has to move, the more you can preserve its value which is a primary goal for collectors. 💰
#Diversifying into new collectibles without having to worry about loss or theft in transit or purchasing counterfeit items.
8/Americana will be #3Dscanning and #authenticating every item that comes into the vault.
Over time, collections will range from various #fakes to perfect editions, creating a new set of standards that will be available to collectors to improve #counterfeitdetection 👀
9/Americana solves #access issues in today's physical collectible world.
If a collector isn’t properly located, their collections hold little #license value.
Americana allows collectors to prosper from their passions. 💚
10/“A little #alpha here”
@AmericanaNFT will be able to supply meaningful cultural artifacts to #events, #movie productions, exclusive #parties, you name it, with owners generating #licensing rewards while artists/creators collect #royalties.
🔥🔥🔥
11/Americana's primary customer won’t initially have a crypto wallet.
They’re going to be collectors of physical goods who are interested in this #new avenue for collectibles. 🪙
"We’re hyper-focused on #product and #UX
...how do you help your grandpa set up a #metamask?"
12/"First thing we think about in how we #design the #product and #UX is how can this scale to the mass market where it doesn’t require a web3-savvy user to understand? 📈
Hopefully, become a conduit to #web3 without dealing with inherent complexities."
13/Why the #blockchain?
"In caveman days, we were chiseling things in stone, then we went to paper, then we went to computers... 🖥️
Our stories are going to be told on blockchain. This is our future."
14/@sevensevensix serving aces 🎾
@AmericanaNFT will be launching their closed beta marketplace this summer exclusively to @probablynthng and @SomethingToken holders.
The next wave of maturity in the #nft and #web3 space is upon us. Enjoy the ride! 🚀

Where are all my #product & #uxdesign homies?
"Creating great UX where there is education throughout the process without you even realizing it is super important for reducing cognitive load at every step of the flow"
