really impressed with time fun recently

- opinionated mechanism (creators have an excuse to launch personal tokens by selling access to dms / calls / groupchats)
- creators don't actually need to take all the calls and minutes to monetize -- speculators will trade the tokens anyway
- no gas, good web app, mobile app coming (i'm on testflight)

im still super confident a good socialfi app will happen, rooting for this team

The fundamental problem to solve for with personal tokens / creator coins / etc. is the psychological effect of a significant price decline.

1. Most people are not equipped to manage a liquid, global, 24/7 traded asset.

2. Current norms are that if someone buys an asset, they expect the person / team / organization behind that asset are incentivized long-term to make that asset more valuable.

3. When there's a significant price decline, many / most creators will be overwhelmed by the hole they now need to dig themselves out of. Layer on a bunch of angry, pseudonymous people screaming at them on the internet.

4. Additionally, what happens when you want to stop creating? Like Outdoor Boys recently did. Contrast to a publicly traded company where the founder retires—the value still continues to accrue.

Possible ways to change this

1. Invent a new asset that's time bound. Closer to a prediction market or an option. "I'm speculating on X during period Y."

2. Change norms / culture -- this is super slow.

i agree the with post from dan form a week ago

i think the future will be app specific. you wouldn't trade $woj on coinbase, but there would be 4 different $woj tokens, on timefun, on farcaster, on zora, on instagram etc

it will be a feature of an app (and not the core value prop) and the marketcaps will also vary on each app (eg $woj on farcaster will always be much more valuable than $woj on instagram)

timelines depend on how $trump and his new crypto app performs

should actually be the same token just interoperable with different platforms kind of like how @hypersub worked

helping build farcaster | surfing @ venice, ca | eating @ gjusta / gjelina | “lucky me, lucky mud” 🤠

i wish, but doubt it can work on scale, in reality every app will want to own the fees and liquidity
