incentivizing people to mint your art in exchange for $DEGEN tip thereby increasing your allowance & doing this on repeat ain’t it. you are either preying on people who need money or incentivizing people who only care about money. not sure what sort of power trip people are getting out of this. disappointing to see.

Really depends for me on the sentiment.. I minted a meme I made w a bot and gave people 1k degen to mint it.

Not going to do that w my actual artwork, though tbh it’s not something I hate on. People gotta eat rn & not all of us have a collector base that will mint just bc they like the art so incentivizing is fine.

art that embodies endless curiosity • forever /artmaxi • /purplepilled soon • more at: ashira.xyz • “studying” is my life practice, since looong before crypto

What I don’t like is the raffle thing w no proof of fairness, or the ‘I have x amount to tip out so shill me your soul/beg me wo begging me etc’.. I get the hustle but it’s feels grimy af.

But.. can’t expect something that suddenly has real world value to stay pure.. esp not when pple are behind screens.

I hate feeling like people are having to suck dck for degen tips.. & that’s how it’s feeling to me lately.. anyways.. 420 $degen for saying all of this so eloquently.

yeah that is the power trip that people need to get off of 🥲
