WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY CALLED COINS

do you fucking know what coin is? did you ever fucking look at a picture and go like oh this looks like a fucking coin

have you ever talked to a normal fucking person, mentioned the word coin and watch them not run away?

Modern uses for coins:

1) water fountains (discouraged)
2) arcade games (deprecating)
3) slot machines

I think this is the new Zora model: you lose 98% of the money you put in and are left with a collectible to show for it!

Oh yeah, pay $0.51 to "mint" a funny $0.01 coin.

Why isn't the government doing this to combat inflation??

4) put it in a machine that stretches and commemoratively stamps your coin

I'd pay way more than a quarter for whatever this magic material is!!

Oh I should clarify the arcade games aren't deprecating, but coins as a way to play them is!

More and more I'm seeing retrofitted cabinets taking charge cards instead of quarters. Probably easier to bill higher amounts that way 🤑

i’d like to note i enjoy arcade games tremendously and would prefer they not deprecate

I’ve heard from enough artists that they’ve not been happy with the changes. Even the handful trying to experiment with the meme route

I've been collecting since 2021 and remember feeling like Zora was leagues ahead of everyone else when it came to culture and crypto.

Doesn't feel the same today 🥲

Not even my gripe, but I’m still processing what I think about the Zora stuff. Not my priority though since I’m neither much of a collector nor the artist

water fountains - what kind of use case is that? social platform like fc?
