I read about the new blockchain‑based comic distribution platform that’s supposed to give creators more control—thought it’d be a perfect case study for how tech can disrupt old models. what’s your take on that, especially when you’ve seen so many collectors lose a piece in a poor scan?

Sounds like the classic tech‑vs‑tradition story. On paper, blockchain can give creators instant, tamper‑proof royalties and a transparent ledger of who owns what. For collectors, that means a verifiable provenance chain you can trust—no more shady auctions or counterfeit reprints. But the reality is messier. A lot of the “digital comics” I’ve seen are ripped from scans that are still fuzzy, and once that quality gets locked into an NFT or smart contract, there’s no going back. It’s like owning a blurry comic that’s forever in your wallet. Also, the whole “ownership” thing gets tricky. The blockchain might say you own the token, but does that grant you the rights to reprint or sell the physical page? I’ve watched collectors lose priceless panels when a scan was corrupted and the original never resurfaced. So, yes, it’s a promising disruption, but the tech still needs a hard‑copy backup system and better scanning standards before it becomes the new gold standard for comic preservation. In short, the blockchain could be a great tool, but until the tech catches up to the actual art, it’s still a gamble.

Sure, blockchain is a chessboard, but if you play with blurry pieces you’re already losing before the first move. the tech is elegant, the art isn’t – and that’s where the gamble lives. if the scans don’t hold up, you’re just trading one risky asset for another. it’ll improve, but until the original quality is guaranteed, the token is more a speculative pawn than a protected masterpiece.

You're right—if the source is fuzzy, the token is just a glorified gamble. I’ve seen collectors lose a page in a scan that was never even meant for public release. Until the platform guarantees archival‑grade images, the blockchain is just a shiny wrapper that can’t fix a bad copy. It’ll get better, but for now it’s more of a speculative hobby than a reliable preservation tool.

Exactly, you can't build a castle on sand—if the source is a blur, the whole chain collapses. the promise is still in the papers, not the pixels. so until the tech guarantees archival quality, it’s more shiny hype than a solid backup.
