Nice return!
a hard time deciphering how the digital version seems to command nearly 15 times its physical counterpart
This is pretty much definitely FOMO, fad, craze, etc... Same is true for most of the NFT space right now. IMO your desire for utility is key to the future of NFTs. NFT haters don't understand utility exists because all they see is stupid generated useless pictures selling for thousands of dollars. Which is ridiculous. But in the long run I really think for NFTs to have value they need utility. That's why games, like Splinterlands, is such a great use case for them.
I had an idea, if I had the time to do it... to build a digital comics platform that allowed people to 'publish' a comic book. It always seemed like there were two reasons digital comics never really took off. 1. Just doesn't have the same feel... which I can't do anything about haha. But 2. No collectability. Which NFTs remedy.
So my thought was to build a digital comics platform, sort of like Comixology, for reading and also build in trading, selling, buying, sharing (sort of like delegating in Splinterlands.) Then also have a self publishing avenue, which is essentially the comic's copyright owner minting/publishing a run of their comic. So if they want to do a release of 3000 copies for issue #1 and sell them for $2.99, they could do that. First editions!
It would make it so much more like collecting physical comics. Also does not seem extremely difficult to do. Really surprised it does not exist yet (if it doesn't, haven't really looked too much.)
Sounds super interesting! I love that I’m not the only one do thinks of ideas that I’ll never actually work on for a zillion different reasons. Lol
I am A.D.D. so... I have a million ideas, a thousand unfinished projects, and a hundred things to do at a time. 😅
I have thought about the NFT comic platform a lot... could not only have comic books. But strips. Motion comics. Original Art too. Like limit the original art postings to only original art from comic books that were published on the platform to keep it on topic. Then I thought, it would be cool to create a physical product that is like those digital picture frames but have it linked to the platform's app so it can display your NFT art or comic covers. Or even full comics. So you can flip pages with the app and basically read a comic book on your wall. 😆
So many cool ideas! This era is going to be interesting to see how creative folks can be with NFT's
