that people should conform to your preferences

yes, yes, this is the moral position

"I do not approve of other people's preferences"

so sad

"why don't people spend money on the things that I want"

and I am used to it, but it is not particularly helpful to the person who makes it their worldview

but here in NFT space, it is considered normal to come to people and say "the thing you bought is shit, it is going to go to zero and if it does not it is manipulation and you are a bad person for not buying my stuff"

its odd because IRL I have never experienced this. i don't have people I barely know tell me that I should not have bought NIKE shoes or this car or another

my friend one amusing thing you will learn in this space is that a decent % of the people in this space have strong opinions about what you should do with your own money

suddenly showed up to tell me we should have spent the money on the other artists

not spending money, pressing the "free" retweet button

all the emerging artists supports who never bothered retweeting the emerging artists i posted

the second I posted the Goose

nobody engaged

everyone says we should collect from emerging artists; i posted an emerging artists 3x a week for years

it is not just important than you collect from emerging artists (as if it is any right for them to tell you how to spend your money), it is also somehow important to tell you what not to collect

for some people

however it is never enough

we can agree to disagree on that, but as I have pointed out before, both directly in the museum and indirectly via the memes, I am pretty sure nobody has funneled more capital to "unknown" or "emerging" artists than me

set a great example for everyone

and demonstrate how it can be done

why don't you @[Sert] specifically do something

we have the meme cards and we have an open call for new photography that right now nobody is pushing to "create something more"

what % of people can name more than 20 pieces in the Louvre without looking them up

they are power law distributed

and cultural objects

this is the nature of art

so what?

most of them for sure. out of 500 collections, maybe 20 make it

LRs aren't but anyway anyone is welcome to their own opinions

most are going to zero

this is true!

and explain to the audience what dunces they are for buying NFTs in the first place

anyway @[Sert] why don't you propose you make a website and right click save as the NFTs you like

but obviously I am literally the last person on planet earth that would believe that

this is 100% true

ok, great

so @[Sert] is now arguing that he can right click save as the NFTs

why not just put the JPGs on a website for us to look at?

why did you do that?

didn't you recently mint a collection?

you could. same is true for your NFTs and the meme cards and BTC itself. you don't need to own a BTC to look at a block explorer

this is all fine

and i might think @[Sert] has good opinions about art or trump or the solar system

i know that, but this is my red line. people can tell me I am stupid and doing things wrong and this may well be the case

so two sentences that are obviously true. you can see xcopy online. and one, once again, accusation of unethicalness

and even more delusional, is the idea that we can move the price of a lost robbie if we say we would like one

the purpose of our museum is not "price and value manipulation"

of course, huge error

but so can I
