If you have a post with 10,000 viewers
1% of them tip .50
that’s $50 direct to creator with none of the bad feelings of speculation involved for either party 

We have all the building blocks for this today but don’t do it because …. ? 

Too hard to socialize the behavior?
Profit motive — trading leads to many more txn for the chains and platforms? 
Content is actually valueless and no one will ever pay?

mind boggling that people stopped tipping good content. is it too uncool for the algo cabal*?

*—i realize (think?) there's no literal cabal, but algo seems to think differently

What I am realizing is that you probably need stables for it to work 

The way Degen issued its own volatile tip currency made it a ripe target for farming

I don’t think that’s true 😂the volatility is miserable

If people won’t tip from a free treasury, there’s no way they’ll use their own stablecoins. The volatility makes it fun and part of the game.

I don’t want to earn in volatile currency nor be subject to stuff like mandatory staking to earn tho 

I understand that ideologically the best people to do what I want with are actually Bitcoiners with Lightning. That community actually has the values 

But I am resistant still bc of pt 1 above

there are many who farm warpcast rewards (don't we all in a way?), and there are many who benefitted fairly from degen

so i am not convinced it's necessarily broken or the system built on top of stables would be such a huge improvement

currently feels more like ux and/or narrative issue
