Handmade items have hidden value signals algorithms can’t copy:

• Micro-imperfections = Authenticity markers (+47% perceived value)

• Maker’s story embedded in smart contract

Platforms extract value from:
☑️ Labor (50%+ cuts)
☑️ Data (design theft)
☑️ Community (reviews as free R&D)

Web3 flips this:
Patrons become co-stewards of crafts
Every resale pays original maker
Skills grow via on-chain reputations

Tier 1 (0.01ETH): Get monthly maker diary NFTs
Tier 5 (0.1ETH): Vote on next craft to preserve
🔴 Tier 10 (1ETH+): Immortalized in artisan’s lineage ledger

3 REAL EXAMPLES RIGHT NOW:

1. @CeramicDAO saving Portuguese tilework

2. @SilkRoad3D reviving Persian carpet math

3. @GlassChain protecting Murano glass formulas

"We romanticize artisans but outsource their extinction to algorithms. No more."

TONIGHT’S MISSION:

1. Find 1 endangered craft in your heritage

2. Trace its Web3 lifeline (or start one)

3. Ask yourself brutally:

   • "Would I rather have 1000 likes or fund one real craftsperson?"

   • "What skill will I tell my grandchildren I helped save?"

(The next Michelangelo won’t beg galleries – they’ll mint genesis passes.)
