Paragraph

Ponder

Are coins the future of writing—or just another trap for creators?

In this week’s Early Morning Crew, @treegirl @gramajo.eth and I sat down with @reidtandy from /paragraph to talk Coins vs NFTs, collector motivations, and why making money as a writer onchain is still broken.

We covered:

– Why speculation kills real support
– The problem with turning every post into a coin
– What actually worked on Mirror, HyperSub, and Zora
– Can tipping and staking fix creator income?

Do you think patronage and speculation can ever coexist?

i still don't fully understand the idea of coining, but i agree with Diana here. 

it feels...commercialised. as a writer, i want people to read my work and understand my perspectives. not follow me because there's some financial gain to be made. 

i dunno, man.
