my tiny protest against the free mint meta: why i've decided to no longer sell full pieces on free mint platforms.

I think we’ve generally gone in the wrong direction in pursuit of inflated metrics, more mints should be $30 rather than 30¢

People don’t value things that are “free” and the true fans are willing to pay anyway

zora's argument is that a viable secondary requires $300/1200 shares. this actually feels quite healthy, but few want to collect more than 1 share (also double tap was built for collecting 1 share lol).

A better version of the current experiment would've been to keep mint prices the same but give collectors multiple editions so they could experience a liquid secondary firsthand. 

They went way too hard on the double tap experience

it's a strategy lesson. they're building a network, protocol, and app, but these parts are completely out of sync.
