I struggle to vibe w NFT art because it’s harder to feel something without its physical presence

So when I mint sth, it’s less about “collecting” (ie. possession) and more about patronage

Probably fine for mint to be overloaded for now, but also why crypto feels confusing — this is quite implicit

“free mint” should be $30 not 30 cents

if you want to collect NFT art you won't go to zora or rodeo imo, those are social minting

Different uses cases, both can exist together!

I do agree at the core sentiment that $0.30 mints have muddied the perceivable value of art and how an artist should price their work.

Lmao maybe. Not hard to see how “free mints” may very well be creating a cohort of “collectors” that simply don’t value digital art because they pay essentially nothing for it

Hopefully that’s not the case for most social media minters but you can never be too sure

apparently if the tech allows something to be commoditized, it will be

I wasn't in crypto for the NFT craze and only got a small taste in April, but it's hard to imagine we go back.
