why do we focus only on newly "minted" art and disregard art that has been minted a while back and has not yet been seen / collected? the correlation between 'unsold' therefore not good is very short sighted thoughts?

What are the fundamental problems with web3 art ecosystem? 1) Limited collector base 2) Transparency of blockchain transactions (good & bad) 3) Collectors don't take enough risks on emerging / less known artists 4) Galleries / platforms competing over the same artists

NFTs will not not and shouldn't be "replacing" contemporary art, they should however be expanding the art world and allow for a global community of artists to have access to an always online market with lower boundaries to entry than traditional systems.
