Most Art Becomes Worthless in the AI Age. A Few Objects Become Priceless.👇 Was browsing an auction of ancient coins this morning with AI help to set my own bidding strategies and began to think about how #AI forced me to refine my notions of value. Here is where “we” came out — hope it is helpful! 👀 Every new technology comes with the same assumption: that value will follow what’s new. That the latest tools will naturally replace what came before. It rarely works that way. What usually happens is the opposite. As production explodes, value contracts. It gathers around a small number of objects that people keep coming back to, not because they’re perfect or beautiful, but because they mark moments when something genuinely changed. The first real coins are a good example. They’re crude and uneven. No design to speak of. Yet they matter more than far more beautiful gold objects because they mark the moment trust stopped living in people and started living in things. Value became abstract. That shift still defines how the world works. #Art follows the same pattern. The earliest Lascaux handprints aren’t impressive because of skill. They matter because someone reached across time and said, very simply, I was here. That gesture doesn’t age. You can repeat it, but you can’t replace it. The works that last tend to behave this way. They don’t really compete. Competition implies substitutes, and substitutes imply replaceability. The most important works escape that logic. They become reference points. Other works are compared to them, explained through them, or valued in relation to them. They don’t sit comfortably inside markets. They quietly shape them. This is why certain artists stand alone. Leonardo da Vinci matters not just because of his paintings, but because he represents a moment when careful observation became a way of understanding the world. Rembrandt made inner life visible in a way that still feels hard to fake. Andy Warhol collapsed art, media, repetition, and commerce into a loop we’re still living inside. Jean-Michel Basquiat embedded urgency and risk so deeply into his work that it still feels unmistakably human. These artists don’t just belong to movements. The story bends around them. Their work often feels a little lonely. That loneliness isn’t a weakness. It’s usually a sign that the work arrived before the category fully formed. Markets tend to hesitate around things like that. Time usually doesn’t. AI doesn’t undo this dynamic. It sharpens it. When machines can generate images, text, music, and ideas endlessly, scarcity moves. It stops living in skill or effort or even originality. It starts living somewhere else. In a world where almost anything can be made, the rarest thing is clear human intent. You can already see this in digital culture. The Bitcoin genesis block isn’t valuable because it’s elegant. It’s valuable because it marks the first moment trust was encoded without permission. $BTC Early digital artworks work the same way. #CryptoPunks aren’t great images. They mark the first time digital identity, ownership, and scarcity locked together on-chain. Better images came later. The story didn’t move on. We are left with a simple but uncomfortable asymmetry. We may produce infinite artifacts from here on, but a very small number will be clearly human in origin and intention. Those objects won’t just appreciate. They’ll slowly drift out of the pricing system altogether. They’ll be held, protected, and passed on. Collectors who see this aren’t chasing returns or novelty. They’re acquiring things that feel inevitable. Objects tied to questions people don’t stop asking. Where did value come from? How did trust first take shape? What did it mean to leave a mark before machines could do it for us? Those questions aren’t going away. Neither are the objects that answer them.🙏

👀 On Friday I doubled down on my commitment to digital collectibles by agreeing to acquire most of the assets of @CandyDigital (Candy.io). When the transaction closes in a week or two, I will also serve as CEO. 💪 My view is that the sustained value of digital collectibles of all kinds requires transparency, security, liquidity, scarcity, and desirability. Candy.io intends to provide all five of those benefits for past and future fans. Agentic and #AI commerce will cause velocity and value to soar where crypto rails make transactions easy and clear digital ownership and rock solid authenticity exist. 🔥 Candy.io will operate by a few simple values on my watch: the Golden Rule for all involved; respect for licensor brands and artists; relentless focus on fan experience; frequent communication often from me.💪 My email address is tad.smith@candy.io for those who want to reach me directly. Please follow @CandyDigital as well for more communication. Our site has been in maintenance mode — frustrating (I know!) — but our many fans are about to have their patience rewarded.🙏 More details on the platform, relaunch, and some dazzling new collectibles and #NFTs you can’t get anywhere else are coming as soon as we close the deal. 👍 We’re not starting over on Candy.io. We’re picking up something extraordinary and making it better. 📈🔥🚀‼️ Please join me to write the next chapter of Candy.io. 🫡

@veve_official U got my attention!

Avatar: The Last Airbender collectibles are coming to VeVe, beginning with Aang and the start of an evolving digital collecting journey. Aang drops in in blindbox format March 14 at 8am PT. veve.me/collectibles/e…

BREAKING: Cryptoys changes its name to “Digitoys” The name change is due to the negative perception related to crypto/NFTs I remember when everyone was pushing for VeVe to name their collectibles NFTs, and now it has negative connotations How times have changed

@beerman2003 @veve_official @Cryptoys

Don’t sell your @veve_official @Cryptoys Something big is coming!

The future of entertainment isn't just digital, it's owned. And if you're not watching @veve_official , you're missing the next seismic shift 🚀. We're talking about a digital collectibles powerhouse, poised to dominate as AR/VR explodes. The Digital Collectible market is projected to hit tens of billions by 2035. This isn't hype; it's inevitability 📈. VeVe's leverage? Ironclad IP. Think Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar, etc. They aren't just selling "NFTs"; they're selling licensed fandom, commanding immediate sell-outs like the Spider-Man drop🕷️. VeVe has already processed hundreds of millions worth of licensed digital collectibles across primary drops and marketplace trading. This platform isn't playing; it's building the blueprint for how major brands monetize immersion in the AI-driven metaverse 🧠. While others chase fleeting trends, VeVe locks down the legends. That's market power. That's leverage. That's the game 👑. #VeVe #DigitalCollectibles #ARVR #FutureOfEntertainment #MarketLeverage 🐸✌️

@Febers4 Let's not forget about @veve_official enabling us to collect huge IP from our favorite fandom in web3.

NFTs aren’t coming back the old way. The brands that win in 2026 won’t look like collections. They’ll look like consumer companies. That means: > real products > real distribution > real collabs > real fans > and Web3 as an extra layer (not the whole story) Blind boxes, plushies, retail, IRL events aren’t “selling out.” That’s literally how you build a brand outside CT. Here’s the North Star I want to see for major Web3 brands in 2026 👇 @pudgypenguins: Becoming a serious toy + retail machine, pushing deeper into licensing and global shelves, not just CT @ChimpersHQ: The clearest “reach first, Web3 second” play, with blind boxes and offline products becoming real collector items on Web2. @Claynosaurz: Building like an entertainment studio, not a Discord project, with HEEBOO growing into a real creator + media launchpad. @Memeland: Potatoz evolving into a true 9GAG mascot IP, powered by massive distro and constant merch, not just NFT drops. @rektdrinks: Proving a Web3-native brand can consistently move physical product and stay culturally sharp outside crypto. @moonbirds: A proper rebuild under Orange Cap Games, with cards, products, and clear loops that make the brand feel alive again. @veefriends: Continuing the long game: more physical collectibles and character-led products that don’t require knowing the lore. @Azuki: Consistent anime/content output and a scaled trading card ecosystem, potentially with real tournaments and fandom. @Imaginary_Ones: Becoming the go-to Web3 brand for real Web2 collabs, quietly using crypto as the backend, not the headline. My take: 2026 won’t reward the loudest brands. It’ll reward the ones that can win when crypto isn’t the main selling point. Curious what others think Which Web3 brand you believe in? Share what you want to see them achieve in 2026 👇
