Don’t you think the way moxie is diverse is smarter than tipping?

uh, don't have an answer to that one. try this:

i think moxie is VERY smartly designed
i think moxie is going to succeed at its given task
i think moxie is structurally complementary to degen
i think moxie's distribution mechanism suits its purpose
i think tipping is a novel experiment and worth perfecting
i think moxie buys degen time it needs to mature
i think degen set the stage for moxie's ascent
i think the two, taken together, are farcaster's actual economy
i think moxie will injure (but not kill) degen and insodoing save it

@wake.bsky.social

i agree with almost everything
just confused about the last line, how does it injure it and save it? or i'm understanding it wrong

my thesis is that degen got dragged into a losing quagmire. it was positioned, accidentally, as "the farcaster economy" or "creative income" and not "a special reward for work done well" ie, a tip.

>degen is our guerilla investment capital and curation tool
>moxie is more invisibly threaded into the farcaster experience, more passive, and more like social security than venture capital

i understand your point now, thanks for explaining

agree, but doesn't that mean $degen should be more aggressive then?
