Been thinking about what drives people to support creative work — not just for access, but to support, express themselves, or feel part of something. If we want onchain products to truly grow the economy around creative work, we need to move beyond speculation and tap into deeper motivations. Some thoughts on the search for something better below. Would love to hear your feedback! https://paragraph.com/@reidtandy/why-will-readers-buy-coins

i have been chewing on the idea of coining content since the discourse started. honestly, this piece makes it all the more understandable. my major issue (and that of other creatives, i believe) was the problem of reducing creative work to something akin to financial gain. just as you put it here: "But I think for this motivation to become sustainable, the financial upside should feel like a bonus — not the primary reason for buying coins." you're exactly right. it's all a matter of framing, and i really hope we are able to do that successfully. awesome piece of work, by the way, Reid.
