One of the strange things about Medium is that, despite their love of traditional publishing, they've never figured out a way to leverage the backlist. Medium now is a giant slush pile. Your idea might make it worthwhile to mine that slush.

If blog posts were tokenized, collectors could assemble thinking and writing on subjects they find interesting. People could create intellectual Pintrest gardens, curio cabinets of blog posts, or digital salons where they would be assured that they owned the rights to the pieces they have purchased or comissioned.

The algorythms have let us down. Your idea would let a market decide the collection, curation, and upvoting of what is "interesting".
