FC’s collectible feature makes way more sense for artists than Base App’s content coins.

Content coins require artists to hit virality AND know when to sell.  They ask artists to be influencers and traders in addition to making art.  Collectibles allow artists to make money from a single patron, without having to do anything but post their art.

Collectibles encourage 1-to-1 connections rather than 1-to-many for content coins.  I find artists to be much more at ease with the former than the latter.

Content coins require dunking on your audience to make money, creating an adversarial and shallow relationship.  Collectibles function more as patronage/tips - validating the artist and creating a deeper connection between artist and audience.

Ultimately content coins devalue an artist’s work while the rarity and auction mechanic of collectibles enhance the value of artist’s work.

I’ve been using the feature on testnet a couple of days and it makes a ton of sense.  I think it’s going to have a great impact on culture here.

Here are my thoughts on content coins @poymeetsworld @awkquarian @lawn.eth

on a more positive note, crypto loves to romanticise living in the trenches and glorify burnout. but anyone who’s been here long enough knows how unsustainable that really is.

i’ve burnt out hard in the past, especially when i was newer to design and social.

now I prioritise energy management over time management.

i don’t use pomodoro or strict hourly blocks. instead, i plan my day based on how confident or drained i feel. if something’s energy intensive, i don’t force it at the wrong time. if a task feels fun or creatively energising, i try to start my day with it, that little spark carries me through the rest of the day.

actually watching this ali abdaal video sometime around 2023 made me realise it wasn’t time management i sucked at, it was energy management. once i started paying attention to that, everything shifted.

what about you? how do you avoid burnout while working in crypto?

working in social media, especially on ct is a constant energy exchange.

protect yours 💕

What is the most important trait that you should look for in a community person? 

Been interviewing lots of folks & the one thing I personally keep going back to is

"do you have the natural flair & intent to just connect with members one on one?"

everything else can be taught.

Working in crypto is a nightmare. When it’s going bad, you get shit on. When it’s going good, you get shit on.

on scale of 1-10 how true is this for you?

for me, easily 10000

waiting for the bull market to end and the tourists to leave so I can hang out with my friends on the internet again, talk about building and creating and not just repeat the same hyped narratives like we’re stuck in a hive mind

i used to cohost a monthly web3 community friends private virtual meetup / strategy session

also hosted a monthly public livestream with fellow cohosts of this very community channel 🫶

slowly, many of those friends moved on from web3/crypto and found other community passions like sports communities and hosting events and no longer could attend 🥹

meanwhile, ive doubled down and took on the role as Head of Community at Aptos a few months ago

im curious to spin up those virtual syncs again 👀 

who would be interested?

@kbc  @apurvkaushal  @adam-  @lawn.eth ?

we had a cozy video call with 5 of us last week

already some helpful info sharing and support ☺️

who wants to join next time?

thinking about this as I go to sleep, gn casters ✨

Happy 4th of July to all my American frens 🇺🇸🎆 from Cannes!
