Mint gives money to FTC, white hot Free Mint

  0xLaughing, rhythm BlockBeats   

The recent explosion of Goblintown and its clones seems to have ignited the Free Mint track, with a plethora of eye-catching NFT projects trying to attract attention with bizarre ideas. For a while, various NFT communities became obsessed with fighting the "tugu" in the hope of catching the next "Goblin boom".

With Free Mint, NFT players can make a small profit by simply paying gas, and NFT project owners can recoup their costs by trading royalties in the secondary market, but as more and more NFT projects become available, the market seems to be getting tired. At this point, a more "roll-in" idea emerged, and it took less than a week to become a real "traffic star" in the NFT market.

Free Mint

The Free Mint solution of "money on the side"

"What if there was an NFT program willing to pay you 0.01 ETH to mint?"

This could have been a joke for the well-known NFT KOL, which has more than 158K followers@digitalartckShe even gave her solution: "It only requires an NFT project team with 10K sales to advance 100 ETH, set the transaction royalty at 5% in the secondary market, and they will recoup the cost when the transaction volume of this NFT reaches 2k ETH."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has heart. Less than 10 hours later, a Twitter user called Sibel replied: 'Haha I'm going to do it.'

For The Culture was founded that day

And so, on The same day, For The Culture was founded with its stick figure, announcing that it was going to do this interesting experiment. Its founder, Sibel, announced a total NFT of 5K for this collection, all Free Mint, and an additional 0.01 ETH bonus after Mint.

"Middle finger" meme marketing

Sibel posted the "middle finger" photo to the Announcement channel

When you first enter The Discord channel For The Culture, you're probably a little shocked by The "F ** K" words and middle finger memes that fill it. That's The Culture of The community.

It can be said that the "middle finger" is a gesture that crosses cultures, races, languages and borders without misunderstanding. Body language often leads to false interpretations, and only the "middle finger" conveys an unmistakable message. The middle finger is used to insult, scorn, ridicule, vent vulgarity, or at least bring the person back to some psychological balance.

One popular story credits the British with the origin of the "middle finger". At the Battle of Agincourt during the Hundred Years' War in the Middle Ages, English archers inflicted heavy losses on the French, and the French vowed to cut off the middle finger of their bow after defeating the British. As the French retreated, British archers showed off their remaining middle finger by sticking it out. The insulting gesture quickly became popular in western countries. Nowadays, even some entertainers and politicians have used the middle finger to express their dissatisfaction with a certain thing or phenomenon.

When the "middle finger" came to the NFT world, the meme was easy for almost everyone to understand. So there's The opening scene, where people vent their feelings in The For The Culture community with swear words and "middle finger" memes. Some people use it to express their worries in life, some people use it to express their contempt for the chaos in the NFT market, and some people use it to express their life attitude of "I Don't Give A F** K".

What is "For The Culture"?

"Middle finger" paired with crudely made graffiti

"No road map, no website, no commitment."

At The very beginning of The establishment of For The Culture, The founder Sibel took The lead in "self-destructing" that it was a "three-nothing product". Combining The familiar "middle finger" with poorly constructed graffiti creates a paradoxical community consensus.

FTC trading volumes have soared

"What happens if my NFT is billed for less than 100ETH?"

"You will be publicly humiliated by other community members."

It's hard to imagine this tongue-in-cheek dialogue coming from an official FAQ published by For The Culture. In just a few hours after its release, For The Culture, it reached The third place in The OpenSea trading list, and The floor price exceeded 0.5 ETH at The highest point. Although this is still far from The official target of 100 ETH floor price, But its performance in the market, the execution of the team and the innovative marketing approach can be said to be remarkable.

It's interesting to see that the top 4 OpenSea deals in the last 24 hours are all Free Mint projects, which have managed to dominate the charts without their pleasing art style or strong team background. Compared to a few months ago, when the NFT market was hot, people preferred NFT projects with artistic merit and strong teams. Now, the goblin-inspired "ugly" market seems to have made the original principle of screening NFT projects disappear. Instead, people are choosing "rush first, respect first" and various "dogs" are trying to squeeze the last bit of attention from NFT players.

For The Culture hosts 69 hours of Twitter Space Silence

In The face of such market chaos of "eager For quick success and instant profits", The middle finger is combined with The poorly made graffiti works, making For The Culture extremely ironic. Perhaps it's time to slow down and meditate at its "69 Hours of Silence" event to appreciate the joy that NFT brings.
