Thanks for sharing, @asha!
And, unsurprisingly, totally agree. Whenever the motivation is purely financial gain, I worry about the durability, especially if it's somewhat zero-sum (like, arguably, memecoins). If someone is making money, that means someone else is losing money, and folks will only lose money for so long.
But if the motivation is partially (or primarily!) more like I'm paying for "services" (having fun, being able to express something about myself, feeling connected to others), that could be much more durable.
