strong opinion, somewhat strongly held:

creatives don't want to create for "content traders"

the word "trader" is inherently transactional — someone primarily seeking profit, optimizing for price movement without emotional or philosophical attachment to the asset itself

idk a single creative who seeks that out

Trading, the emotionless art of financial gain without having to go through the act of creation.

I am SHOCKED this doesn’t resonate with creators

There is a cultural hubris in blockchain that presumes people will adopt the culture of trading and tokens.

For onchain to succeed it needs to go to the creators, businesses and communities and integrate with their workflow and extract away the tech discussion.

Hard to fund that approach though

it makes me worried that people building these platforms aren't talking to creatives or creators !!!
