the issue with this framing is that more stuff to speculate on doesn't bring in new users Jesse's argument here is "this is the use case that gets the next billion onchain" but it's not we just had a whole cycle of hyperspeculation and "coining" everything imaginable and it had SIGNIFICANTLY less public uptake than the NFT cycle of 2021 it was a knife fight of crypto ppl trading against crypto ppl and old money dumping useless governance tokens for memecoins because at least those were hot there was, at most, a trickle of new money coming in this runs counter to the argument that "more speculative assets" is the missing ingredient to get the general public excited about crypto, or that artists/content creators want their content to be speculated on more

I understand where you're coming from, and many are. I was thinking of another perspective the last few days and explained Zora to non-crypto users. They resonated much more with the real-world aspects this framing provides than when I talked about other projects or things happening in crypto. If they don't have to think about "crypto" or "Web3" and fully understand it, they can post what they want and have the same behavior as they did on any Web2 platform they've used their whole lives. This vision seems much more achievable, in my opinion, than the former.

And obviously, I think you do too, with building it out /poidh Like we were talking earlier, it's still hard and there still aren't enough people here, but I would put it right there with it.

the problem though is that the tradeoff they have posting to Zora is they are not going to get visibility because it's not a robust, diverse social network you can post on Tiktok and have the potential to go viral with an audience of over a billion or post on Zora and...maybe make $2 as an unknown? what is the average person with no crypto background showing up on Zora and posting earning? the concept works in theory I get that, but they are going to churn if the promise doesn't match the reality
