The great dilemma of CC0 2022. A week back Kevin did the very fast moving change in policy that Moonbirds art would be CC0 moving forward. This is only the art not the trademark. This had the community split right down the middle. The main complaints were that: The change was introduced too fast and without warning. This lead some holders who had licensing deals in progress to lose out on 6 figure checks. “I’m looking at you Lakoz”. This could have been done for future collections like Ravens. So buyers would know ahead of buying what the terms were. On the other side many designers and holder thought the release was great. There’s a narrative that the more the art of a collection gets out there via derivatives, the more that value gets added to the main collection. This week we had a sneak audio only preview of future proof and wow was it loaded with stuff. I recommend checking out the recording on discord for those that are holders or the summary thread by @bennyhsu_xyz for more details but here’s my take:
-Highrise - my own explanation of what highrise will look like is like this: Close your eyes, imagine “a fancy, futuristic, enhanced-reality, time-shared and co-op, art gallery concept in the middle of wall street”. That is what I see. A place where you own a little bit of the floor (or wall space) where you can showcase your collections, a place where you can see other collections and where the creators are always online so you can see interviews/videos/audio clips of them and of the art you are looking at. But also a place where quant butlers hangout and can help you with any analytics and insights into any piece or artist in the gallery. They also have a microbrewery on the back and great music/ambiance.
-The DAO - just like any other will help with proposals and funding of new collabs. But with great DAO comes great token which is what some hodlers are excited for. *shrug* “Deploying capital to community endeavors is great but if you’re not helping these things with team resources and project management then it may not work out… We want to hire people so these projects can get support and help them get launched”.
-Moonbirds - What is the goal of Moonbirds? “What are we trying to accomplish? It’s to be a big part of culture and have mainstream awareness and adoption.”
-Ravens - “We are thinking about expansions but not charging for it. Nor is it time to dilute the market with a lot of NFTs.”
-Oddities - When i hear there’s a decision we will need to make I think a “bored ape serum-like” event is coming. I mentioned this before and do think that will be the future of it. It also follows and matches the velocity mindset KRO was referring to when he said he didn’t wanted to flood the market. “We see there’s a community around Oddities. But there will be a direct tie in with Moonbirds expansion. As a holder, you will have a decision you have to make.”
-Nesting - More “surprises” ahead but slow your roll folks. Stay nested my friends. “There is a reason why birds nest. They sit on nests because they hatch things, and it doesn’t all happen on the same day.”
-Data - I can’t wait for Future PROOF and @punk9059 to take the stage to talk about deep dive reports and analytics.
Grails II - If you hold a PROOF pass or acquired a mint pass in secondary you were able to mint the Grails II project. The dynamics, conspiracy theories and FOMO this generated is just wild. Some artists are known (or at least we have a good idea), others are brand new. At 3ETH floor prize this should be an easy flip to 3x for those who don’t care about the art. For those that do, i think this will be a great start in your collectors journey if not already there. Me personally I like Grails 5 and 17.
