One of the things I’ve experienced with clanker that makes me most excited is when jokes naturally and organically lead to tokens. The problem with launchpads is ultimately every token comes from one person going hmmm what’s a good ticker, what’s a good cartoon image. There is an effort to create a meme token. Deep down, that effort is cringe and I think we sort of all know that

It’s why all of the tokens follow certain trends and types. People are referential by nature, they imitate 

Communities talking with each other, me trying to make @zinger or @alexgrover.eth laugh, @clankerintern.eth doing bits, that’s just the best shit online. Everyone does it, zero constraints, no “forms” or “cat themed tokens” category to follow. All the thought boy shit goes away. 

At best, clankers come without pretense from people doing bits with their friends. It should just feel like posting
