Consumer Crypto

It's unfortunate that "minting" ever became a popular term, just call it what it is in context: buying, collecting, tipping, etc.

People say "mint" when they really mean "save to the blockchain", a byproduct of early adopters in the space caring too much about the tech and not enough about the benefits

NFTs are just digital receipts, calling the action of acquiring them "minting" is like saying "I saved something to the Visa database" instead of "I bought something"

I think the activity around minting needs to be changed more tbh. A lot of new tech products came out with new semantics that were successful “snap” “reel” “TikTok”. people don’t call a snap a picture what it is because it’s fun to do that activity. People want a new action to do and that can be minting. What Base and Zora are doing around minting seems like a step in the direction.
