Mintingās the future.
This week, two enlightening NFT essays caught my eye.
The first, Minting Is the Native Business Model for Web3 (and maybe AI too) by Fred Wilson, explores how minting can empower people to monetize and control their data, reshaping the creator-consumer dynamic in crypto and AI spaces.
The second, Mintellectual Property by Zoraās Dee Goens, champions minting as a strategy for creators and brands to protect and monetize their content in this brave new world of AI-generated media.
I recommend reading both of these great write-ups, as they underscore minting's potential to redefine digital ownership in the years ahead. Let's dive into this week's NFT news inspired by these ideas! āļø
