I’m ready for the “free mint” meta to be over. If folks really want to collect your work then they should pay the price to own it. If they don’t collect it, then so be it. Ultimately, those who really value your work won’t mind paying for it anyways.

I hope I translated well. I think it's possible to do both, to collect free mints because it allowed me to discover artists that I did not know, and other pieces!

I've always been a fan of free mint, before the arrival of minting platforms that got rich by introducing fees... I stopped collecting anything due to the greediness of these platforms

Agree with you on paying full price, but I do see the free mint or OE as like stickers, posters, postcards or even flyers IRL. Just something cheaper for people to get interested in the work or even just to take home. Not every collector is gonna be willing to pay full price all the time. Then collectors will become selective. I don’t always have money to buy art full price and appreciate cheaper option to buy something affordable.

In general I think the market is cyclical, and maybe for some people it really is a better way to create art. But I'm sure in the long run 1\1 will prevail

Do you think there is a place in art for free mints? Or they shouldn’t be encouraged in any scenario?

I think it's really messed up the value of art in the space and we will struggle to get back to old times.
