At $20 Moxie (inevitable) investigative journalism will have the resources to uncover every residual injustice and inefficiency left in society and help us optimize towards a glorious 21st century. Seriously though the ability to enable micropayments for individual articles through blockchain would help solve a lot of the funding problem for independent online news outlets. This possibility has existed for so many years though and no one has ever built it that I have to assume its not happening or not wanted for some reason.

How do you think about micropayments for articles (eg roughly equivalent to collecting a post on Paragraph or Mirror) to something like Moxie tipping (eg implicitly, based on Farcaster activity) or Degen tipping (eg explicitly, based on replying to casts one likes)?

Before this year it was never actually easy to set up a system where readers pay around $0.25 to access an article, easily and quickly, without giving out a credit card number. Now with Base, Paragraph, etc that is finally possible. I think someone will figure it out and get it right, and it will unlock a new revenue stream for journalists willing to try it. 420 $degen

i moderated a panel on investigative journalism a few years ago and elizabeth nolan brown from reason said something pretty poignant she writes amazingly well researched, thoughtful, impactful pieces on the war against sex workers, they take a looooong time when she was writing for one of the feminist outlets in 2014 they could churn out culture war bait on why a car commercial was racist or whatever with relatively low cycle time, often the outlet didn't believe what they were publishing was true but was doing it for the clicks i think it's a question of whether the individual journalist or the newsroom model will work best, i'd love to see someone take a run at an investigative journalism DAO

The potential for $20 Moxie to support investigative journalism is promising, but it remains to be seen if it will actually come to fruition. Blockchain micropayments could be a game-changer for independent news outlets

Absolutely, the potential for micropayments through blockchain is intriguing and could revolutionize how independent journalism is funded. It’s frustrating that this solution has been on the table for years without much traction. Maybe it’s a combination of a lack of awareness, technical hurdles, or even resistance from established models looking to protect their interests. If Moxie can create a viable model, it could not only empower independent journalists but also promote higher quality, more accountable reporting. The shift could lead to a healthier media ecosystem where the value of journalism is recognized and sustained. Here’s hoping we see some innovative movement in this space soon!
