This year I built a grant fund for onchain poetry. The fund is financed through donations, degen tips and moxie earnings. I have experimented with some distribution mechanics, and will use the learnings to optimise that in the next year. In 2024, I have distributed a good amount to poets who have been taking a risk by making their work available as NFTs. Through direct grants, and by using @rounds and with my @hypersub subscribers as curators. By giving grantees a podium as poet of the month in my newsletter, I've been able to shine a spotlight on some amazing artists, such as @papa, @bochini and @wordstobepoetry. It was a good start in 2024, and I will built it out even better in 2025.

I've seen this sentiment on the timeline for a few weeks now, and personally I too am always battling with not loosing my idealism. Especially when we seem to just run after faster, bigger better without stopping to ask: why? What future do we even want?

And I would have to calculate how much of it I can offer on a weekly/monthly basis as reward.

Okay, that is a great answer. I would certainly not expect people to play along always. The idea is that if you do something creative, you activate and practice a different way of looking at things than you normally do. This helps you to see things you otherwise might miss in your regular job/life. So, it is, to begin with a service. It would stretch beyond poetry and sharing is not necessary. Rewards would probably not be weekly. I have a coin, and I have quite a bit of it. But given its monetary value, the rewards would be more like earning points you can't do much with. Although, playing along with the challenge would require holding a certain amount of said coin, which in theory would mean people would start buying it.

Planning to do some creative prompts in the channel. Practicing your creativity will help you solve problems easier. So, wondering how often you'd want them.

Next time I'm in NL I'll bring you some. Just checked the Asian supermarket we like to gonto and they have it. It's this one, right? https://amazingoriental.com/product/sriracha-chilisaus/?offset=0 Maybe my unlaws can bring some if I can get it delivered to them. They're over next week.

That is a very good reason to write. But if you hit that publish-button, others might give you even more insight :).
