Paragraph

Ponder

Are coins the future of writing—or just another trap for creators?

In this week’s Early Morning Crew, @treegirl @gramajo.eth and I sat down with @reidtandy from /paragraph to talk Coins vs NFTs, collector motivations, and why making money as a writer onchain is still broken.

We covered:

– Why speculation kills real support
– The problem with turning every post into a coin
– What actually worked on Mirror, HyperSub, and Zora
– Can tipping and staking fix creator income?

Do you think patronage and speculation can ever coexist?

Great points touched on the topic. I must admit, with all the talk about Zora coins, I still don't get them. I get NFTs and I get coins, I just don't understand coining posts yet. I bought a couple but lately I just ignore anything that says "Zora coin" in my feed 😅
