one costly decision by @zora that the team/ecosystem might feel in the future: completely cutting out every other minting options except coining. 

coining and tokenization economy experiments are fine, but many of Zora’s creators loved the platform for 1/1 and open mints. that’s gone now, and those creators will naturally explore — and possible fully move to — @rodeodotclub @highlight @manifoldxyz and other platforms

Despite feeling the same, I doubt it’ll be costly in the future if the future prioritizes coining.

coining will be undoubtedly adopted at larger scale+be profitable and unlock new use cases for crypto. it's been tried before many times (we called it 'NFT fractionalization'), but the market didn't care. personally experimented with this and NFT galleries in '19-'20. 

focusing is absolutely respected, and ofc there're always trade-offs. it just feels like there could be an optimal solution in there, Dylan shared a good example in the comments of possible dedicated UI that interacts with old Zora contracts and powers that old experience that so many love(d).

overall, excited to see where the future of onchain art, provenance, and creative self expression will evolve, and at the same time believe it'll happen in many shapes and forms vs. a single standard.
