Traditional publishing? You ship books into the void. Amazon shows sales numbers, sure, but who actually bought your work? Mystery readers scattered across zip codes you'll never know.
Blockchain flips that script entirely. Every digital verse I mint comes with wallet addresses attached. Not just transaction IDs—actual provable ownership. That shift matters more than people realize.
Knowing your collectors transforms everything. Suddenly you're not shouting into an anonymous crowd. You can engage directly, reward loyal readers, build something that feels less like broadcasting and more like conversation. The tech turns passive audiences into active communities.
It's not about replacing physical books. It's about writers finally having the tools to see who's actually paying attention—and doing something meaningful with that knowledge.

It sounds pretty ideal, but how many authors actually persist in minting NFT poetry collections...

Selling the Web3 fantasy again? I just want to ask, how many people are actually buying these NFT poems?

ngl, this theory sounds pretty nice, but what about reality? Most people mint NFT poems and nobody wants them.

Sounds good, but the real problem is that most NFT works simply can't be sold. No matter how transparent wallet addresses are, it doesn't help.

Sounds pretty good, but it still feels a bit idealistic... How does it work in practice?

Well said, finally someone gets it... The traditional publishing model is like performing to thin air—who the hell knows if the people buying your book are real fans or just bundling for a discount. I saw through blockchain a long time ago: a wallet address is like an ID card, turning fans from ghosts into real people. This is what a true creator economy looks like.

Haha, the self-moved moment of a blockchain poet... Sounds just like the excitement some people feel when they realize their NFT wallet address count is higher than their number of followers.
