clanker

jesse: if Yon launched gdupi today as a ‘content coin’ on Zora, would it be considered a success? would it validate your thesis about content coins + zora? 

yon has earned (going by today’s prices) >$25,000 from $GDUPI rewards

total creator rewards on (post-coin) zora are ~$460,000 

Yon has individually earned ~5.5% of creator rewards earned by ~all~ zora coin creators. 

he is incredible btw, as you know and we’ve discussed. he earned these rewards because of his own exceptional efforts, talent, with some minor help on our side with distribution. 

just trying to understand: what about Yon’s experience leads you to believe that many more coins = a better model for artists? he basically did the opposite of some of the content coin stuff you’ve describe. Yon very much stepped up to seize the opportunity / obligation of creating cool work around the coin.

and what about it tells you zora is the platform to help them do so vs. clanker? slightly confused as to the reference there.

i’m tired boss

what is a success? is a success the creator makes a few thousand dollars in early fees, their collectors get burned, and their token fades into obscurity as early trades extract/exit? collectors are happy i’m sure

fine, then what’s the plan for future monetization? they’ll tell you launch a new one; burn more people — that is what every launcher is; they’ll call that innovation

it’s the same for clanker, pump, zora, etc. — they all do the same thing; they deploy a memecoin that captures temporary exuberance — nothing more, nothing less; any attempted rebranding is taken as a grift

fundamentally, they WILL ALWAYS collapse because that is how the system is designed, particularly for apps that have no network effects or distribution hooks

we’ve seen this play out endlessly for half of a decade now; so why are we still blaming the creators?

what’s our advice? now it’s financially engineer & fabricate demand? buy & burns? become a CTO? anything but create

For $stableai 

Success will be measured over a long timeline

Keeping lp rewards alive on rebase
Using other platforms to buy and burn stableai  <zora>
Creating more casino style games
/flipit that burn the token 
Creating friendships with holders and legitimately putting holders first

This is what I'm building
