It's a crime to pass counterfeit money. I'm not interested in that kind of trouble. Besides, I don't need to pay to test for it being legit. Just go to a bank.

- falcor84 1y agoThe legality does break the analogy, but my point was just that a suitcase with ten thousand $100 bills has a non-zero value on its own, but that proving its provenance would significantly increase its value, despite the suitcase staying the same. The argument then is that this is not unique to art - it's (financially) valuable for us to know who made an artifact and what its journey was until it got to us.
