Moxiesplaining Journal Day 5: Creative Livelihood

For 25+ years I’ve been calling attention to extractive patterns that constrain writers’ options for a sustainable livelihood that allows them to focus entirely on writing. 

After watching countless bait-and-switch patterns that prey on writers' hopes of making a decent living yet leave them with mere scraps, I lost hope for significant improvements in my lifetime.

So it’s notable that my first words upon learning about Moxie were: 

“Don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about anything else I’ve seen in my 3+ years in crypto.”

Moxie rewards creative work in ways that open new paths to sustainability.

I view my Fan Token holdings as a "plug" into network effects that can accrue to users. Not extractive entities.

Here's to a world in which more writers have sustainable incomes so they can just *write*.

Moxiesplaining Journal Day 4: Valuing Attention

The 90-9-1 rule of participation inequality in social networks is well-known. 90% lurk; 9% contribute occasionally; 1% create. 

While creators (1%) get the fanfare, *all* these roles contribute valuable time + attention to the network.

Moxie Fan Tokens can:

- reward the value contributed by occasional contributors + lurkers 
- reduce the grind for creators

Any of these roles can buy (or be gifted) Fan Tokens to align their self-interest with the success of entities in the network.

Everyone can opt into the rewards loop. Not just top creators. 

This reduces systemic pressure to compete for limited attention. 

Lurkers who don't want to be creators can hold Fan Tokens and just enjoy lurking.

Creators + occasional contributors who hold Fan Tokens can contribute as they see fit, and take breaks when they want.

Brilliant.
