gm all!

I wrote a piece on X on why I believe crypto rails will be valuable to AI builders in a hopefully first-principles, product-focused away: https://x.com/karsenthil/status/1904167644732805603

Curious what everyone here thinks!

Crypto should fund high-quality writing sustainably through tokens but we haven't figured it out yet. If good writing generates attention and tokens are a great way to monetize attention, why is it easier to sell subscriptions as a writer than it is to sell tokens?

We've tried NFTs. You can collect a post on Paragraph but that's not a great way to make money as a collector. I doubt anyone is speculating on Paragraph NFTs and without speculation, it's impossible to make money sustainably as a writer selling NFTs.

Could ERC-20s be a better token standard for writing? Imagine each post had it's own memecoin and that readers could speculate on. Would they want to? Or instead of subscribing to view a writer's content you bought their token for access? I'm not sure what the right token model is for writing but hoping to see more experiments here.

Think this applies to writing at all? Could tokens create the right network effects for writers (at least better than selling a Substack subscription)?
