The Defiant

Had a great chat with @jessepollak of @base about content coins Takeaways: Not totally sold on the idea that content coins are different and distinct from memecoins. I think memecoins are a type of "content coins" - Memes are content - The mechanics Jesse describes as unique to ccs, are what I think also happens in memecoins --> some buyers are there to collect, to support, for the lolz, others are there to speculate. What's different and interesting about this reframing is - Content coins can be more than memes, they can be a tweet, a picture, a podcast, whatever content. Maybe we can start changing the way we interact with content online so that liking or double-tapping turns into buying (even if it's just for pennies). This will allow creators to better monetize their content, and fans to have a chance of sharing the upside if the token takes off / becomes viral. Finally People crying because "base is for everyone" coin crashed have a point, the Base tweet was ambiguous about what the token was about BUT You're mad because you blindly aped and the token dropped, and such is life in crypto. Only a little bit of digging would have shown it was a content coin on Zora.
