What is the concept for $PRICE? The Price Discussion token ($PRICE) is a 'Group Chat Coin' that serves as *financialized branded merchandise* for members of the community, just like wearing a hat of your favorite team. There is no forward-looking roadmap for $PRICE - its purpose is to create a crypto wallet-based platform for fun for community members - and as such its roadmap is considered completed at TGE.
So what does $PRICE represent as a brand? There is a compelling provocation at the heart of the concept: the tension between art vs. finance.
“Price discussion” is the greatest meme the art world has ever or *will* ever produce. It lays bare the inherent tension between making art for expression and selling art for money. It asks artists why they sell their art at all. It simultaneously celebrates and questions using sales numbers as a vehicle for communicating prestige and relevance. It beckons art collectors to *themselves* discuss why certain pieces are priced certain ways, pushing them to jettison the credentialed hand holders and establish their own art-value hierarchy. Price discussion is a peak idea in the art world and everything following it will merely be an adaptation and evolution of this meme. I really believe this.
