ConstitutionDAO is the future. In 20 years time this will be seen as seismic shift in the art market - far more revolutionary than NFTs coming to auction houses. This changes the game. Elite collectors beware, there is a new type of collector in town - the PEOPLE.
We showed the world what crypto and web3, onboarding thousands of people in the process, including museum curators and art directors who are now excited to keep learning.

NFT artists never publish sketches or show early process work.
It's a major (downside) difference vs artists in traditional mediums.
