@ljin18 What if we fractionalize the NFT, put the pieces on a bonding curve and start a DAO - universal creator income (UCIDAO)? Members vote on which creators to fund.

This is the start of a (transaction as communication) conversation, a movement. Creators funding creators #positivesum 🤝.
"The Creator Middle Class" has just been sold to @jamesyoung for 13.37 ETH. OMG. What a journey❣️. Thank you to everyone who bid on this piece! It means the world to me that people support what it represents: a path for many, many creators to make a living and do what they love

Visa invented the airdrop?.
Visa was founded this day in 1958. It was an experiment called “the drop.”. 60,000 credit cards were mailed to unassuming residents in California. Overnight, people had credit lines equivalent to $5,000 today. They could buy things without going to the bank & pay it off later.

So happy to hear success stories of the potential of crypto being unlocked from long time builders - life of an entrepreneur can be lonely and stressful so sharing wins makes a difference!.

centralization is not the issue. capture is the problem. social platforms need credible exits.
This week on my #podcast, I read "Let the Platforms Burn," a recent @Medium column making the case that we should focus more on making it easier for people to leave platforms, rather than making the platforms less terrible places to be:. 1/

@danrobinson @8bitbytebit @RyanSAdams @lrettig @UniswapExchange I think of it as a financial hack. This allows a user to start accruing value prior to the contract being deployed which allows that user to pay for the deployment costs. This alleviates the dapp of the capital requirement/risk.

DeFi relies on @uniswap, @compoundfinance, @BalancerLabs, @AaveAave, @synthetix_io, etc. We don't frame it as an ERC-20 use case. We are in the 2017's of NFTs - we need building blocks. What infra/tooling does the ownership (creator) economy need?. Inspired @stir is doing.

Today is the 2yr anniversary of Moloch
We’re already seeing the rise of people who are simultaneously: (1) creators, (2) entrepreneurs, and (3) investors. It’s all part of the same “people as media companies” wave, where the means of creation and distribution are in everybody’s pocket. The monopoly on reach is gone.

AI agents lead DAOs. tokens holders can only veto AI generated proposals . AI needs crypto for RLHF.
The sentiment has shifted on AI x crypto. While many people wrote it off as a scam earlier this year, I’ve now spoken to several people in the last week who have changed their mind. AI agent adoption will accelerate in 2025.

@sydneylai web3AI : compose, collab, compound. agents as composable units in group chats. multi-agent systems collaborate using delegations and caveats. the output of these systems compound.

@gakonst agent memecoins where devs are in the critical path - they have the private keys. or worse, unverifiable inference . have we not learned from previous cycles that this does not end well?.

Token gating web content - so stoked to see this as part of the @RaidGuild season VI Cohort.
During @RaidGuild Season VI Cohort, our team undertook a project for @Collab_Land_ . As expands its horizons from Discord; it now pioneers in token gating for online websites and web content.

@gregisenberg @BackseatVC web3 in Discord is a bridge, easier to go to where users already are (distribution is hard). Token gated chat is a coordination primitive.

@ljin18 @variantfund speculation at initial/early distribution hinders community building - hard to build trust when you are just seen as exit liquidity. feels mercenary, payday loan predatory. need adjustable speculation params tied to community health KPIs. LP liquidity score as status game

what is old is new again - web3 social “Friends For Sale” @blader @alexcharlie.
The hottest new app on Base is @friendtech. It's done over 2000 ETH and 100,000 transactions in volume in just a single day, eclipsing even OpenSea. It's being used by the biggest CT influencers, like @cobie and @HsakaTrades. And the app barely even works. So what is it? 🧵.

marketplace is about distribution.
a hypothetical example of Solve For Distribution in action:. take two food trucks run by chefs of equal talent, using the same ingredients, same sauces, same everything– but one has a better location, or better marketing, and as such gets more customers for the same food….
