nice write up. content coins are actually a new thing. zora is the first platform to adopt them. letting the market be the algorithm is very interesting. i don't think we're quite there yet, but on to something. 

incentives need to align. ask yourself, why do you want to buy an instagram post? answer: you don't. 

but if the proper flywheels were in place then maybe you would. right now there's no flywheel. you buy early and maybe you can sell for a higher price. thats the end of the cycle. 

but what if i'm buying content coins from the top creators on the internet and i keep earning fees on additional content they drop? starts getting more interesting. 

think about current incentive defi flywheels and add those to the social context.

jesse got distribution because he is c-suite at a $45 billion public company & the founder of base, the 4th or 5th largest blockchain in the world with like $12 billion of total value locked 

it very clearly had nothing to do with the content which was 4 words—the exact same 4 words that the entire team tweets at least once per day—typed on a white square 

so the only way you get “semi-free” distribution is if jesse, or someone of similar status, retweets & shills your coin

it has nothing to do with the content & eveything to do with traders speculating on jesse’s attention capture 

the problem is that jesse buys every single coin that’s deployed on base, incrementally diminishing the value of his signal, as copy traders have now been piling in for months only to get rekt & subsequently bitch on the timeline 

so while this one garnished some attention, all for the wrong reason by the way, the real content creators saw none of that 

unless of course they get a signal, at which point…

yep — incentive problem not tokenization problem
