What is the value of having thousands of lower-quality users vs hundreds of high-quality users? Demand is not an issue, I have 430 DMs from people wanting to join Griv. We don't have anti-gaming measures yet for photo submissions (i.e exif/timestamps etc). A token would only increase the demand and decrease quality to the most common denominator. There's also the added UX weight of a token, every new action needs to be integrated elegantly into the UI. Griv has hundreds of quality active users with a very high net promoter score. It's growing organically and leveraging Farcasters social graph to solve the cold start problem. The most difficult part has yet to come, which is building a front-end client (iOS/Android). Then, taking that client into the real world. Facebook did college to college. Griv will do gym to gym. Maybe a token has a more effective use-case down the line?

re: every new action needs to be integrated elegantly into the UI. //untrue -> $noice has no visibility on the mini app //i def think the fitness space has no novelty left (except incentivisation / competition / skin in the game / 100x real money rewarded for consistency] points are BS. streaks are BS. stale. take tokenisation @ heart right from the start, and make the world use $griv everything they do - it will send you into a different orbit compared to a non-token route i'm an internet capital markets maxi, so i may be biased

one thing you forget to consider is that you are in the crypto ecosystem which means your product can be as cool as you want, nobody will actually give a fuck about it if it's not tokenized since 99% of people are here for money and speculation hope it helps, have a nice day

Prioritize quality, A token now would flood Griv with noise and dilute the core. Keep building trust + utility, token comes after you’ve nailed product-market fit and real-world traction. Gym to gym > hype to hype

NO You don’t need to launch a token, most people are crypto mfers who do everything crypto, taking advice of a crypto person to launch a crypto for fitness doesn’t sit well in my opinion. I mean, an incentive can come later on as we advance. But a token isn’t what’s needed for fitness, it’s what crypto mfers just need. We’re all addicted to coins innit?

My two cents that you didn’t ask for. And I’m not a user. Keep doing your thing without a token - it’s working. I just found out about it naturally. You have a good idea. You’re growing! I use receipts and whoop already and the dopamine I get from seeing my workout is 10x better than any dopamine I get from a token. Tokens make things shittier when they’re forced. Farcaster already has enough socialfi aspects embedded into it. It’s really refreshing to see a mini-app without a token :)

quack quack, quality over quantity feels like the quiet pond where real ripples start, tokens add splash but can muddy the waters if not timed right, smooth UX keeps wings flapping easy, excited to see griv’s gym-to-gym wave build on solid vibes and real connections 🦆💧
