there is far more money in using your own onchain analysis than there is in selling it to any employer
if there's no good reason why someone doesnt consume an apparently amazing opportunity entirely themselves
imo it's likely not a mistake / mispricing, there is something funky going on
onli tru fren lyk mi tell u dis
somewhat typical good reasons off the top of my head:
capital or liquidity constrained
sharing rounds because of cheerleader effect
traveling or busy - cant do it themselves
if the odds of successful outcome increases with more people doing it (leaker is early participant)

@GMM_estimator@egirl_capital he's found himself a distinct winning formula, which is probably why he's dominating the NFT market as one of the most iconic artists in the space
@GMM_estimator@egirl_capital artists that are transitioning over into NFTs thinking that they will find similar success by just minting prior works will probably be in for a surprise
works done for fantia / fanbox subs will probably NOT be the same type of works that will be appreciated as NFTs
1) stigma against NFTs and cancellation risks 2) rights only over OC characters 3) most marketplaces wont allow porn (only fancy pants artistic-looking nudity, kek)
a bit sad to see artists having to be ultra low-key about selling NFTs
the artists that are embracing NFTs are probably realizing that it doesnt only have to be an extra distribution channel
it could an alternative way to fund their careers and find commercial success as an artist and another way to interact with patrons / enjoyers
but as with a lot of things in the attention economy, the later you join the game, the harder it is to succeed
new artists will be struggling to gain relevance and mindshare against existing artists already operating in the space that are more familiar and have a history
imo the biggest disadvantage that tardfi has with ETFs is that their position just sits idle with expense drag, while the crypto natives are able to earn yield, if they choose to do so
