One thing that feels under-discussed with creator coins is the psychological shift they force onto creators.
The moment you issue a coin, youâre no longer just creating, youâre suddenly a financier, token economist, IR department, and market maker. Attention moves from the work itself to holders, price, supply, narratives, and expectations. Something subtle but real breaks there.
And a creator coin is singular: once itâs launched, thatâs it. You canât âre-launchâ yourself. So what happens if a creator has a massive payday early on? If they want to create again later, the only option is⊠another coin. Different platform, same audience, and suddenly fans feel confused or betrayed and start throwing around words like âcash grab.â
Thatâs why NFTs always made more sense to me. They map much more cleanly to how creators actually work: many creations over time, each standing on its own, without permanently turning the creator into a walking balance sheet.
Creator coins donât just incentivize content they quietly turn creators into markets, and that mental shift is the hardest part to undo.
