It has alot more substance than 2021 or newer NFT's but then again most of those are not worth anything.
I agree with this part. If you can clearly demonstrate the intent you had back then was to "fractionalize artworks" then yes, you may be on to something. Truth be told, I think $1M is high for a market cap for such a token supply, and its late 2017, which isn't really "early" by crypto standards. Even the
first truly tokenized artwork doesn't garner a whole lot of interest from token collectors (albeit it is on an obscure blockchain). Still, good luck.
The yardstick keeps moving first I should show the connection between the art and tokens, which I did which in itself is kind of unbelievable to out of nowhere conjure provenance of that magnitude. Now it's this but I don't blame anyone because I myself am confused at times.
To answer your argument, the precise two words fractionalize art are in the patent study from 2018.
