MoMA Acquires CryptoPunks + Royalties and Collector Reality

With the show running audio-only, the room settled into an open-mic flow and bounced between headlines, culture and what matters next. The anchor was MoMA adding CryptoPunks and Chromie Squiggles, sparking a debate on how museums acquire work, what “validation” actually means, and why events like NFT NYC still miss the mark. From there the convo moved into collector reality, Tezos as a lower-friction lane for digital art, and whether royalties can be redesigned (including profit-only royalties) without killing secondary markets. Quick market and safety notes popped in too, including Trust Wallet’s browser extension update guidance and chatter around a BTC flash crash wick. The back half widened out into RWAs and the case for “boring crypto” as progress, then a long riff on Tesla FSD and a future where robotaxis turn cars into real consumer cashflow.
