In less than a century, your Beeple PNG and Hirst photograph will be in the public domain. Free to copy, reuse, whatever, without exclusivity. But, yes, you will still have an exclusive, costly certificate. Just a certificate. In less than a century, the public domain art will still have admirers, remixers. The certificate itself will hold no value to no one. It's literally a depreciating speculative asset. See: today, who cares as much about whoever funded it and how, than about Mozart's Requiem? Would this have been funded through an exclusive certificate at the time, apart from being a museum artefact of a bygone era, it would not be worth much. The music is still studied, performed, derived, listened to.
