We are still early in explaining to the world what #NFTs really mean. @SatoshiLite is conflating original creation with copy-paste, in the art world you can also print many copies of an original eg. litographic prints with almost zero cost as well.
Picasso can only create so many originals in his lifetime but his works have been reprinted millions of times. Nobody will argue that a print is worth the same or more than the original art but to preserve value he can set limits to his own production. christies.com/features/Picas…
Feel free to create many millions of copies of your Chikun, it may not be very valuable but very likely your very first one will be more valuable than any other copy thereafter. @MetaKovan who bought the first @F1DeltaTime car is a prime example of this. cointelegraph.com/news/why-i-spe…
Just like a fungible token the more you make the less value there might be. The sum of the art could be viewed the same way, you make many official copies each unit may be less valuable at start but as a whole may have total value like a marketcap. bit.ly/3ajSGul
Artists weigh that decision and build a reputation which contributes to their perception of value. This is true for *any* projects be it fungible or non-fungible. What NFT's inform us is of the original creation and embed the art and that contract. bit.ly/3qz7HOA
Autographs become valuable because of years of building a reputation you are not just buying ink on paper but original provenance. #NFT's are the same their value is determined by who/how it was created and what they have achieved. wonderopolis.org/wonder/how-muc…

We started investing in #NFT's in 2018 with the strong belief that gaming will drive blockchain mass adoption create a new digital economy some of our thinking in tweet style below $REVV $SAND #animoca @animocabrands @TheSandboxGame share/comment if you like this format for more
Quick reminder of the "traditional" gaming industry with 2.6 (some say 2.7) billion gamers in the world today that last year spent over over 150 billion dollars
that is more than film and music combined

.@animocabrands has been strong believers in this "Content is the Platform" trend. Interoperability of digital items will allow for the creation of the true Nike or Adidas of the digital world and is the true revolution which is why maintaining open networks is so important!
games today is like the NBA, ESPN, Basketball and Nike all in one. Asset interoperability will create entirely new companies (and economies) and studios will integrate support for these assets because they want those customers own your car @F1DeltaTime use it anywhere.
virtual goods sole existence was to support the value of the game, which in turn meant it only benefitted the game studio. A new class of games are emerging that exist to support the asset itself (NFT) where every player becomes a stakeholder in the asset ecosystem itself.

We embraced #NFT's in gaming over 2 years ago with our partnership with @dapperlabs @CryptoKitties and today we announced an even closer partnership with @REVV_Token and @flow_blockchain @rohamg @Mik_Naayem #motogp medium.com/dapperlabs/wel…
But beyond all the #NFT hype, art and land ownership there is one narrative that we think is critically important and has long-term revolutionary potential and why we went all-in on projects like @TheSandbox medium.com/@ysiu/the-cont…
