Another problem I have with a social network where every post is a coin: it comes at the cost of authenticity. When every interaction / post is wrapped in speculation, it’s impossible to participate or even observe any of it with trust in people’s intentions. It’s like the small talk at a poker table. Even when it’s fun / chill, every comment or question, even if kind, may be part of a larger strategy to affect the game and take your money. Puts you on defense / removes an element of trust from the dialogue. There’s a time and place for that obviously but I don’t see it as a positive default for a social network, unless it’s a social network that is for gamblers.
