Hey @orb family!

I’ve been loving my time here and wanted to understand more about the rationale behind collecting posts or sharing posts for mint. 🤔

Personally, about half of my posts are available for mint (around 80% are free mints, while the other 20% are paid $BONSAI mints). My main criterion is asking myself, ‘Would I mint this?’ If the answer is yes, I make it a collectible. I also try to attach a topical GIF or an original photo/video to each post to add some spice to the feed as people scroll by. 🎥🌶️

For the mints I share, I pride myself on making them easily accessible, usually pricing them between 1-10 $BONSAI so they don’t require much thought to collect. I also don’t set a quantity limit on how many can be minted, even though I’ve noticed others do that—it definitely creates some FOMO when I can’t mint a post because it’s ‘sold out’. The most expensive piece I’ve shared for mint is 100 $BONSAI, but I can see myself raising the price significantly when I start sharing my personal analog film photography. 🎞️

When I’m collecting on @orb, I’m partial to free mints that catch my eye visually. 8/10 times, it’s a post I plan to repost in @views, but other times it’s art or a tasty shot posted in @food. 🍔👀

Honestly, I’m not the biggest fan of collecting other people’s selfies.🤷🏽♂️

As for spending $BONSAI on a mint, if it’s between 1-25 $BONSAI, I use the same criteria as free mints. Once the price exceeds 100 $BONSAI, I have to be viscerally moved by the content. As of my first 3 weeks on Orb, the most I’ve spent on a single mint is 100 $BONSAI. 💸

So, what makes you want to mint a piece? How much $BONSAI is too much or just right for you to collect? What drives you to share mintable content, and how do you determine the price of the mints you share? 🧐

I’m genuinely curious and know others might be asking themselves the same questions. Feel free to weigh in!
