I’ve done so many hours of user research here and fundamentally almost every serious creator doesn’t want to:

1. Have their body of work (and career) tied to an extremely fickle, arbitrary number

2. Lose their sense of self worth in the aggressive financialization of their every move

3. Scam their true fans (even accidentally)

For the vast majority artists and makers, launching a coin is ALWAYS serious bc it’s tied to their reputation (which is basically all they have bc they have no money) and most of their fans aren’t degenerate gamblers so they cannot and will not understand why number go up and down so much and so fast. 

Number can’t go up rationally without being tied to a stream of cash flows. That is fundamentally a security. Everything else is the fever dream playland of (who I affectionately call) the mentally ill.

this isn’t a battle worth fighting — not yet. as long as crypto is feared and the entire space is seen as a scam, creators won't touch it.

the situation won't improve until we shift the narrative from speculation to real world impact.
