Porsche, criticized for “little effort” put into its NFT, ends mintage early
The car manufacturer Porsche has had to stop minting its famous white 911 model with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) just two days after public minting began, claiming that its “holders have spoken”..
The January 23 launch was considered by some to be a huge flop for Porsche.since at the time of writing these lines, only 2,040 of the 7,500 NFTs available had been sold.
Our holders have spoken. We’re going to cut our supply and stop the mint to move forward with creating the best experience for an exclusive community. More info in the next hours.

Our clients have spoken. We are going to cut off the supply and stop the minting to move forward with creating the best experience for an exclusive community. More information will come out in the next few hours.
The mint was widely criticized by the cryptocurrency community for its “low effort,” “refusal” to listen to the public, and excessive pricing.. The price of the NFTs was set at 0.911 Ether (ETH) ($1,417).
Really sad. No community. No comms. No value. Glad our community hasn’t fallen for it. Big brands should take note. This is a valuable lesson for them. Extracting value is not gonna cut it.

It really is sad. There is no community. Without communication. Worthless. I’m glad our community didn’t fall for it. Big brands should take note. This is a valuable lesson for them. Extracting value is not going to be enough.
Sales in secondary markets have been undercutting live mintage: some have been sold for as little as 0.86 ETH.
After announcing that it would cut the offer, Porsche clarified that minting would remain open until 11am UTC on January 25. The collection experienced a FOMO-driven buying spree that temporarily pushed up the minimum price.
