anyone remember snackpass? it was a game where you'd earn emojis for eating at spots on campus. get ten 🍦 emojis, get a free ice cream. you'd send emojis to your friends with a little note, and have a feed of where friends are earning and sending emojis to feels like an onchain / fc version of this would crush.

I think this is the endgame of where the experiments in tipping culture are going. We're just trying to figure out best practices for how to manage supply, issuance, and exploit-proofing. Instead of just centrally managed, like your example.

degen afaik was the first project to do it (decentralized or not) which is super cool. but I don't think it needs to be decentralized to work. it's just a good product / growth mechanism.

Agreed, but we don't need Blockchain for centralized versions of this, as you pointed out. The value for a Blockchain version is the transparency potential so people don't have to trust that is not a scam, they can see it for what it is. I think tipping experiments are discovering these necessary characteristics.

that's one value! the other is that ethereum is a giant activity feed—you can see activity across all eth-enabled apps in realtime, without need for maintenance, storage, or integrating an api. that's really powerful imo. but agree the experiments will prob naturally gradually evolve over time to some end state

True, eventually that value will be a draw eventually. Maybe end-game wasn't the right term, because I was thinking more of the tipping point, but that term was already occupied in my mind with the issuance method 😂 I think tipping experiments will lead to our initial mainstream adoption moments in this category.
