Why are project coins so interesting?

They're kind of like seed funding. And kind of like crowdfunding.

But also kind of like bootstrapping. But *also* kind of like public stocks... without being equity.

Token holders "are the financial equivalent of social media followers."

Because it's crypto, investing is open to anyone with an internet connection. Anywhere in the world. At any time from launch onward. Instant liquidity for all.

Following up on our investigations of @betrmint and @tipn, the latest @splits report from @w @abram @matthew and myself is a deep dive into project coins — how they work, and what it means for the startups of the future.

Project Coins.

Bc project coins have (1) usefulness and (2) committed builders, there can be a much healthier trading mindset vis a vis pure memecoins – where irrational commitment is only thing able to drive price, and where attention is so tenuous.

FC culture is built for project coins, and vice versa.

Memecoin vs Project Coin.

There is a natural tension between the expectations for a “memecoin” (what many build on X and Solana) and the expectations for a “project coin” (what many build on FC and Base)

Being a memecoin is kind of like being a public company, except you don’t actually produce anything except noise; and instead of shareholders worrying about quarters, they are worrying about weeks, days, even hours. 

While you want to try to hear out everyone who believes in what you’re doing, listening to this memecoin mindset is not the way to build a real and sustainable project — and that’s the only thing that builds long term value for anyone. 

I consider it important to signal to people that we will not be following the traditional memecoin playbook. I do this because I don’t want to create misalignment in what people expect. 

We are building to make something that is loved by not thousands but millions of people; that lasts not months but decades; and that not only increases prices but increases the net fun and connection in the world. 

This ambition requires a little more patience, but I believe it will be a lot more fun — and a lot more rewarding — for everyone involved.  

Let’s change the Token Playbook.

Mostly yapping on X/twitter nowadays. Health & Wealth. ex socials @evmavericks. /runitup 🦁Hosting hella channels.

Don't worry, we'll have a website with this stuff that's better than anything youve seen. Banners, listings, etc etc. We are syncing it (as well as gas for the first of interest) with our release on twitter this football season. Everything we've got working on farcaster builds toward this.

This sort of vanity / pump stuff you mention is not the hard part. We actually dont want to push on that button until we have built a real growth engine - ie a product that real people already use. Doing this prematurely is like pouring gasoline onto your bicycle chain.

We are building not to flip DraftKings, not $fartcoin.

I'd argue that we are one of the few projects in crypto that have anything close to a real product that people already love.

That's what you want to pour gas on.

Super well written article!
I like the frame of ICO <> Memecoin.
