Oceans of Wisdom

there was no organic wave of demand left on the table

to make sure it minted out

dude, @[gpebbles] and I minted it out

I was watching the mints

but exactly zero people were prevented from contributing to scientific research

which is fine, it is fair, it created sufficient demand in enough people to sell out

this is why it sold out


we are not yet ready for our hollywood debut

right now we need to get out of mom's basement

we are discussing where we are going to have our double date with tom brady and giselle

this conversation is totally imaginary

my friend, anyone who has such a a great idea that will raise millions of dollars and is concerned that our edition size or 'take' rate is holding it back, obviously has literally a zillion different ways to raise money

go look at the distribution of buyers

umm...

it is the protocol take

there is no "team" take

the bad ideas keep stacking!

well, they are imaginary! they are normal crypto people who have no idea who we are and how to buy a meme card and why and then normal normal people who have no idea how to use an ethereum wallet

who are these thousands of people and why did they not mint @[boredsurgeon] card?

vs them just using gofundme or kickstarter or something

we would leave a ton of money on the table for the charity

i would not even want to have a hyper powerful drop like the one you describe

as we are now

still

there is a lot of friction

is to increase the pool of buyers

the key thing we need to do to go to larger funding amounts

and is looking for us to help him do it

can't figure out how to do it by himself

not that he would really like to have an open edition

his concern is that 300 is too big

because I have had this discussion with him

of supply of any major artist

or is the absolutely tighest manager

have you noticed that beeple does open editions

do you think he would agree to that?

in the event you got beeple, do you think it is in ours or his interest to absorb the demand so full to make his a floor card too/

the only one but then what?

then 600

then 400

then 300

then 250

is to go to 200

my sense is that the pathway to cards of 5,000

no evidence of that yet

implicit to my view is that we are not going to jump from 150 to 5,000 just because a "card is good"

we will deal with this extremely attractive problem to have when we get there

but right now this is like worrying if Goldman Sachs will have enough zeros in their software to handle our private banking account

we will some day have that luxury problem and we will find the right solution to it
