## Summary

The author proposes that "important" NFTs fall into three strands: the market, which serves as an imperfect but meaningful signal; Big Art, meaning museums, fine art and Art History; and the cutting edge, meaning work that explores new ideas, sometimes at the expense of traditional notions of good art. The writer says that if one accepts the market strand, this is a solid list to start from. The writer also believes a better list could be made, while acknowledging that nearly everything is open to debate.

## Article

I think of “important” NFTs as having three strands: (i) the market (an imperfect, but important signal); (ii) Big Art (museums, fine art and Art History); and (iii) the cutting edge (those concerned with exploring new ideas, sometimes at the expense of more traditional notions of what “good art” should be). If you believe in (i) this is a solid list to start with. But, I think there’s a better list out there waiting to be made, but acknowledge that just about everything is up for argument at this point and time.
