“smart coins”

base/fc community needs to coin new terms that are representative of our philosophy + more accessible to the public 

smart coins is a step in that direction

I hope the half-life of "smart coins" is shorter than that of "scene coins"

friendly neighborhood shitcaster / building @pinetree

whether we like the term or not, i think it’s important that we create ones that serve the target audience

seeker /native /believein /bedrock 🇵🇸

but both can be true! 

in-group buzzwords ≠ labels that nudge people to build and use things as we intend

a great label can lead people to get excited about the tech and think differently about how to craft products

imo this doesn't work

there are just coins/tokens with a category/standard (or multiple) assigned, and within that category there are good coins and shit coins

smart coins is not a category, you're referring to a "good coin" meaning great distribution, a caring community, interesting tokenomics, etc.

yeah cc @saintless.eth i think yall are right 

i am just frustrated by the lack of trying. “memecoin” is a broken, spoiled term. we shouldn’t call anything that isn’t a protocol token a memecoin. 

work to be done in the naming things dept

I guess my point is that this is not a great label

Smart as a modifier means nothing (or everything) and doesn't hone in on how these coins are different from the status quo

So lacking semantic precision, the out-group (ie. the rest of crypto aside from Base/FC) discards it as yet another buzzword
