The argument is easily dismissed when you understand why owning art is essential. It’s not holding it that matters. The value of an asset gives incentive to collectors, but it’s not the point. It’s supporting the artist who created it to enable them to make more and sustain a career. Because without that, we simply don’t have art.
Personally I prefer the patron model for creators of all sorts, including artists. It lets me support the creation of further art without the pretense of someone claiming ownership over a string of ones and zeroes.
