A couple of months ago, I published a post on Paragraph after doing a 30-day challenge on Zora. It was my very first post here. It reflected on the shift from NFTs to ERC-20 tokens and how suddenly, every post became a kind of memecoin.
I was skeptical about coining content then, and honestly, I still don’t think it works that well.
But… let’s try again.
I’m writing this post mostly for the sake of experimentation. I like to see how things work before I form a strong opinion.
Crypto, at its core, is built for this kind of testing. It’s magical internet money — weird, fluid, full of potential. So, let’s test the limits of what money means.
What happens when we stretch it beyond exchanging cash for physical goods?
What happens when a post becomes a token?
What happens when a reader becomes a holder?
We say we want to change the world — to build new systems, new incentives, new ways to create and connect.
And then we get excited about stablecoins and institutions entering crypto.
I'm not saying content coins are the answer.
And to be honest, they probably aren’t.
But we won’t know unless we try.
Not sure how it’ll play out on Paragraph, but on Zora, you get this funny feeling when you’re kind of rugging your own collectors just by cashing out.
In theory, that’s part of the plan — both here and there, the posts or coins are meant to support the creator. So you buy in, knowing the creator might withdraw later. It should be expected. It should be fine.
But that’s not what’s really happening on Zora.
In practice, people often treat Zora posts as quick money plays — just like memecoins. They copy-trade Jesse, hoping to get in early and exit richer. But memecoins are a zero-sum game. Someone wins, someone loses. The only one that always profits is the casino.
Anyway, I’m coining.
For science. For curiosity. For the meme.
And for the gamble 🎰
