I agree to an extent with the criticism around creator coins, social tokens, and on-chain experiments. A lot of it is noise.
Since Nick entered the space and many of the old guard creators are down 70–80%, $ZORA is at peak FUD. To be honest, I’ve made more money shorting ZORA recently than longing it. We’ve all seen the rugs, the abandoned projects, the accounts that disappear once the hype fades.
We’ve also seen creators come in, extract, and leave. And in many cases, traders end up capturing more value than creators themselves because of fees and volatility.
That’s the controversy. And it’s real.
Where I think the conversation breaks down is when it becomes binary — the assumption that because most creator coins fail, none are worth engaging with.
I think that’s false.
The way I look at a creator coin is as its own ecosystem.
The creator coin is the base layer
Individual posts or drops act like sub-tokens
Liquidity across posts creates stability
Capital retention inside the ecosystem matters more than hype
The more posts with real liquidity a creator has, the more stable the overall price action and market cap can become. But this only works under one condition:
👉 The creator has to create real value for the community.
Without that, the system collapses. No amount of token engineering fixes a lack of substance.
And yes — this requires capital to stay inside the ecosystem. That’s the hard part. That’s also why most fail.
Despite all that, there are creators genuinely trying to build something.
Artists.
Educators.
Motivators.
Entertainers.
Builders.
Not many — but some.
People who show up consistently, iterate in public, and are trying to create value over time instead of chasing a fast exit. And many of these token (as risky as they are) could become the next "TOP 10", but that isn't what is important to me. I'm building a brand, one that already has a WEB2 presence. Build a communtiy, and build your token, let the community trade that token.
What’s different now is that I can trade and accumulate exposure to those creators directly using my hot wallet. BASE APP, RABBY and PHANTOM are my HOT wallets of choice. If I swap for creator coins on DEXes instead of ZORA I can also cut way down on fees and (Slippage).
I can move between creator coins the same way I rotate any other asset — using any wallet, any DEX. If a creator resonates more, I can increase exposure. If momentum fades or direction changes, I can reduce or exit.
That flexibility matters.
This isn’t about blind conviction.
It’s about curated exposure.
I’m not trying to own every creator coin.
I’m not chasing every new launch.
I focus on a small basket of creators I believe are genuinely attempting to build something over the next 12–24 months.
And I’m very aware of the risks.
There are rug pulls. There will always be rug pulls. Some projects fail quietly. Others fail loudly. That’s part of the experiment. Pretending otherwise is dishonest.
That’s also why I don’t put my eggs in one basket.
I don’t marry a creator coin
I don’t size positions like they’re inevitable winners
I don’t confuse appreciation with belief
I treat creator coins the same way I treat most things in crypto:
risk-defined, flexible, and subject to change.
What interests me isn’t just upside — it’s alignment.
If I already consume someone’s content…
If I already find value in what they’re building…
If they’re showing up consistently and actually trying…
Why wouldn’t I experiment with holding a small on-chain position alongside that?
Not as an endorsement.
Not as a promise.
Not as a forever bet.
Just as a way to stay engaged, pay attention, and participate in the upside if it materializes.
This is still early. Very early. And most of it won’t work.
But crypto has always been about experimenting at the edges — new ways to coordinate, fund, and align incentives. Creator coins are just another iteration of that idea, with better tooling and fewer middlemen.
The mistake people make is treating this like a belief system instead of a sandbox.
I’m not betting on “creator coins” as a category.
I’m selectively experimenting with people.
And like everything else I do in this space, that comes with rules:
Small position sizes
No blind loyalty
Willingness to rotate
Willingness to be wrong
If it works, great.
If it doesn’t, the lesson is still worth something.
That’s how I’m approaching this — not as the future of everything, but as a tool. One more way to express a view, manage exposure, and stay curious without blowing myself up.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
This isn’t about chasing every creator coin or pretending rugs don’t exist. They do. Most experiments fail. That’s reality.
For me, the takeaways are simple:
I’m not betting on narratives — I’m experimenting with people
I keep position sizes small and flexible
I rotate, rebalance, and stay willing to be wrong
I treat creator coins like any other on-chain exposure: optional and risk-defined
That same thinking applies to DADS DeFi Space.
The creator coin isn’t a promise. It’s not a shortcut. It’s an experiment in alignment — between content, community, education, and on-chain tools. If it resonates, you can engage. If it doesn’t, that’s fine too.
