An optimistic case for the new Zora model 1. Everything that can be a token, will be a token. This trend is accelerating because the largest capital market in the world—the US—is finally has a pro-token regulatory environment. (Using coin and token interchangeably here.) 2. If you create digital media, you can immediately can earn money. No bank account, payment process or platform (Zora contracts are a protocol). 3. Additionally, if you create digital media that goes viral, i.e. captures internet-scale attention, you can make a lot of money. Traditionally the only beneficiaries of internet-scale attention are the web2 social media platforms—they monetize via attention (time spent) and they minimally share the upside with the creators. 4. Coins (ERC20) are the most composable primitive in crypto. Order of magnitude more than NFTs (ERC721). Leads to weirder / emergent use cases. 5. Zora open editions fee distribution stack is underrated for curator / app layer monetization.

I think the coin is two sided here (no pun intended lol). One is earning from trades, second is growing an actual fan base. Those two so far are not aligned. /los-fomos goes ‘viral’ onchain, we get featured on @coinbasewallet, @daylight and our drops are shared by @base (thnx @aneri ) and as a result we earn from that. But collectors are not interested in content itself. So it doesn’t help us to grow a fan base. Collectors/traders are not convertible for now. For creators it’s important when you think about the growth of your business and potential partnerships. Even though your collectors/token holders are spending money, they’re less likely to turn into your partners buyers unless there’s another token speculation. Personally, support content tokenisation experiments and am trying new developments. They make content creation sustainable. Though we still need to work on solutions helping to grow the contributive fan base. Basically why we’re building Unik

This is such a key insight. Monetization through trading is one thing, but true sustainability for creators comes from building a contributive fan base, not just speculative collectors. The fact that traders ≠ engaged fans (at least for now) is a gap that needs solving. Tokenized content is a huge step toward sustainability, but without community alignment, long-term growth is limited. Excited to see how Unik tackles this challenge—because when creators win, the whole ecosystem thrives.
