So this is the pipeline you're thinking about here?  

contentcoin --> memecoin --> project/company

*obviously very very few will exit the contentcoin phase*

content --> meme is web2 is way more freeflowing and not contained which is how many memes have developed.  Oftentimes, the meme creator and the person who catapulted it into a wider audience are completely unrelated people/groups 

I think the coining content could actually hurt content in terms of sharability and virality due to the added friction and mental capacity that explicit financialization brings

that's roughly the pipeline in web2 (content -> meme), so I expect it to be similar here. the meme -> project is more blurry, but roughly the same.

yeah this makes sense and it's good framing

I feel like it’s less pipeline and more two different tools at different scales.

From a trad business standpoint I’d think of content coins as basic merch or promo items: Stickers, prints, keychains, buttons etc. low cost, low friction, ease of production. Low expectation of profit but potential if you get a hot one.

Memecoins are more costly and require more effort & commitment to succeed so they are more like a retail product. 

Dev/creator coins are more representative of brand loyalty & investing

Product coins should be more directly utilitarian but can crossover into all these pools. 

Gathering a lot of thoughts on this but I kinda see it all working in interleaved ways as opposed to a linear roadmap.
