one of the problems with social tokens is that you cannot meaningfully invest in someone for the long run because of the product risk.

if the product doesn't work out, the person you invested in will just move to the next new thing that creates a new token for them until we finally have a winner in the space

Think best model is patronage for new stars* with a kick back when career milestones are met. Fantium is doing this for tennis players and it’s interesting but still very complex with regulation and automatic issuance/verfication

Possible on crypto rails tho

At some point in our lifetime…

New stars = emerging influencers, athletes, musicians, etc. but also see a dystopian world where it can apply to every person in the world

I like Rob, I think he I want him to continue to grow. Rob wants to reach 100k followers by next year. 

I buy Rob tokens and when Rob hits 80k, 90k and 100k followers his holders get kickback.

Maybe Rob needs a camera to grow his content. Maybe Rob needs money to quit his job to grow his following. Token helps fund Rob so he can get more followers.

wdym exactly with patronage for new stars, not sure i understand

there is a good sci fi book series about a world where everyone has their own stock but blanking on the name xd
