Really thoughtful piece by @reidtandy about mixing coins + limited edition NFTs as a way to support writers on @paragraph while keeping the vibes high and the incentives aligned.

It got me thinking:
– Can a tiered model (coins + NFTs) balance value and vibes?
– What’s the right % mix of “supporter energy” vs “speculator energy”?
– Is speculation always a vibe-killer, or does it just need better boundaries?

Would love to hear your take: can we design systems that welcome many motivations without losing the magic?

I really like the idea of a tiered model with different levels of support, from simple tips to collectible NFTs with status value. I wonder if this is the next step for @paragraph

Thanks for sharing this. I agree that the balance lies somewhere between NFTs and coins. Will share more thoughts once I've read this article.

Ok, let's suppose I open an NFT mint. I cast about the mint on FC. Some people are tipping my cast but they are not minting my piece. Some others are not tipping the cast but they are minting my piece. The third group is minting my piece and also tipping my cast. Is this the model?

Reid explores how combining coins and limited-edition NFTs could balance patronage, self-expression, and light speculation.

A tiered model could offer different levels of support: from simple tips to collectible NFTs with status value.

The key: design systems where support is the primary motivator and speculation stays secondary, without killing the vibes. 

What do you think?

Exactly. Speculation without intention turns participation into extraction. But with the right balance, it could amplify value without draining the soul. It’s a delicate dance, but probably worth getting right

Balance is key. Without intention, speculation kills the magic

Yes, and let me know what you think. Reid always makes me ask myself new questions about how to approach creating in the crypto space. This is really interesting, he talks about the possibility of releasing coins and multi-tiered NFTs to people who support writers. This can work for any type of content, not just write-ups ofc.
