Moxiesplaining Journal Day 5: Creative Livelihood
For 25+ years I’ve been calling attention to extractive patterns that constrain writers’ options for a sustainable livelihood that allows them to focus entirely on writing.
After watching countless bait-and-switch patterns that prey on writers' hopes of making a decent living yet leave them with mere scraps, I lost hope for significant improvements in my lifetime.
So it’s notable that my first words upon learning about Moxie were:
“Don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about anything else I’ve seen in my 3+ years in crypto.”
Moxie rewards creative work in ways that open new paths to sustainability.
I view my Fan Token holdings as a "plug" into network effects that can accrue to users. Not extractive entities.
Here's to a world in which more writers have sustainable incomes so they can just *write*.
(Moxiesplaining Journal is a daily window into my observations, learnings, and the view of Moxie from where I sit as a writer + editor).
