Base

people assume this week was some coordinated marketing campaign

the truth is the effort to coin things from @base went 0 to 1 in <1 day with @drewcoffman doing the creative and the only goal being use onchain tools

everything else has just happened. coins are viral I guess.

Hopefully you can at least acknowledge what the optics look like here

Zora is a company that Coinbase has a lot of vested interests in (Coinbase Ventures invested in Zora, and the Zora founding team are all ex Coinbase employees) 

You’ve been relentlessly pushing Zora on people despite very little organic adoption 

Now Zora announces their token is launching soon 

If the token ends up dumping (like most airdrops do) how is that going to look for you and Base?

By what metric? Would love to dive into the data on this, I’d be to take a look 

Also, with all due respect, you ignored the meat of my message. Even if Zora does have some organic usage, can you at least acknowledge the optics?

zora is one of the (if not *the) most widely used onchain creator platforms over the last 3 years
