I'm distributing 100k ↑higher (~$10k) to my favorite writing on the following prompt:

"Describe a higher vision of the future."

Deadline Monday 4/8 @ 12PM ET. 750+ words. Be as specific and imaginative as possible.

Goal is to get people writing about aspirational futures that people can rally around.

Higher.

I was already thinking a lot about the aspirational economy and decided to answer @jihad's prompt.

For the superfans, $higher provided a Figma template to enable easy reproducibility. For the selective buyers, a collection on Zora. For the skimmers, a token that provided a way to buy in without needing to understand or care about the overall project

The tl;dr is that in contemporary art today, paradoxically, an object whose image is very widely spread is a rare object. 

/higher is an example of providing templates for spreadability, while also embodying a new paradigm where participation drives value.

Yeah it's finally feeling like there is a more unified town square for ideas and projects like this to emerge organically @lght.eth

this is an exemplary piece of writing 

for context - it was indeed unintentionally coordinated, everything felt emergent 

hindsight realizations were that this could indeed bring overlap in the four groups that engage w crypto 

your piece does such a great job articulating all that!

thank you for reading @kugusha.eth ! 100 $degen

This is a quite exceptional articulation of higher value 

Thank you for putting this together

your thesis kind of rhymes with Mark Beylin's recent piece "The Token Is The Product" (that title is off-putting IMO but it's a smart essay) https://m.mirror.xyz/gyyuM1OocVmptHYvl4jR6G3fWYsOutCgu19RDGjzGqc
