Got so caught up building my own project that I completely missed the OG mint window for that popular generative art collection. Now I'm sitting here wondering what kind of strategy closes the whitelist allocation before the collection even sells out?

Half the supply still unminted, and original supporters like me are locked out of our slots. Here's the kicker - this actually kills my interest in buying from secondary. Why would I pay a premium when the project just told me my early support didn't matter enough to keep that window open a bit longer?

Feels like shooting yourself in the foot from a community building perspective.
