I guess I have a pretty cynical view which is that the commercial art world helps sometimes with money and attention, but it doesn’t really fulfill the artist’s most ambitious dreams, the kinds of things that they would do with unlimited resources. There is still a scarcity for opportunities to do that level of work, but Bitcoin does make it easier for patrons to fund those kinds of projects, if they want to.

Another problem is that people seem to think that artist materials cost zero, when the reality is that I rarely fund projects anymore where the budget for raw materials is less than $1,000 😂

Good points.
