The Yellow Collective on Base

A bold suggestion for @jacek & the $DEGEN community: 

$DEGEN tips should become $tDEGEN to differentiate them from liquid $DEGEN. 

(This would follow industry norms like AAVE’s aETH or “ve” for vested tokens, etc.)

Just gave away 500K $DEGEN in a /yellow contest & many were asking “tips or tokens?”

WDYT?

I get the frustration, and as moderator in the telegram group fielding all these questions time and time again, after 2+ months of 100 $DEGEN being the format, a change would be catastrophic

1. WHERE'S MY TIP!?!?!
2. apps that coded to say $DEGEN already
3. WHERE'S MY TIP!?!?!

Mostly I think more education needed

Whatever your decentralized, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant open blockchain question is, the answer is YES… to Crypto!

totally agreed.  

My main objection to a change now is that 100 $DEGEN tipping is only for Airdrop 2.  Airdrop 1 wasn't tipping; airdrop 3 won't be tipping.

Airdrop 2 is 7.4 billion tokens, 1.48b of which already issued.  So it's temporary.  Changes midstream would cause more confusion

Docs/education needed

I think people could pick it up pretty quickly. And Jacek could even make it so that both would work during a transition period. 

But yeah, not sure how much work it would be for devs to change their code. 

I still believe that changing bad UX is always the way and you shouldn’t avoid it just because of entropy.
