One plausible future reality

1. 80% of posts don't earn anything
2. 19% of posts earn <$100
3. 1% of posts earn >$100

Don't focus on the exact percentages, napkin math, adjust for spam, etc. 

But the apply the same power laws that already exist internet, but possibly, you get better monetization for the middle cohort. And then the power law winners capture more of the upside instead of the platforms.

This feels right. 

For the 80% case there’s still an extremely open design space. 

What does it look like to airdrop and give these coins as a way to get more distribution for your content?

Perhaps it leads to more attention than if you had not tokenized it. Which is still an improvement on web2

I think most ppl are ok with this so long as 

A) the pie is way bigger (total number of earners is high)

B) getting a following is based on merit and we don’t see moats built around legacy accounts (algos)

C) the bottom 80% are doing the paying for the top 20% aka its tips/rewarding good content and not from ads

Ability to coin in this new manner should not be limited using Zora.co or the Zora app

I’m thinking:

- send an iMessage with an image and a caption = coin
- send an email = coin
- cast = coin 

This is close to what clanker is doing but less “art” oriented. 

I guess once your take Zora.co out of the picture, the meaning of the coin changes. Part of the value of the coin is the ecosystem in which it exists, IMO.
