Just published on @paragraph: the first of the channel's Gift Economics Roundtable conversations (i.e. the nerds get nerd-sniped, take one). These conversations are an extension of the Return On Attention Roundtable (ROAR) discussions, which began in a private group chat (profiled in the essay "Quality Writing is Systemic") and are now making their way into the public sphere. The Gift Economics Roundtable initiative is an attempt to preserve some of the gift value that's created only in the context of long-term relationships built on reciprocity and trust, and to highlight some of that value for the Farcaster community. Studio Slowcore will continue to turn the best of these in-channel conversations into blog posts. Let us know what questions or topics you'd like to see for future roundtable discussions! Gifts of crypto sent to the studio's multisig (slowcore.eth) will be gratefully accepted and used to fund initiatives for our channels, including the Gift Economics Roundtable. https://paragraph.com/@danicaswanson/gift-economics-channel-roundtable-on-value-creation-and-speculation

"Gift-giving is the necessary precursor to market activity when it comes to creative content." @trigs.eth That being the case is it then about developing social norms* along the lines of: - support creators that resonate deeply - gifts to that creator reach critical mass, and they are then 'free spirits' (they are free to create to pursue their spirit not the finances.) - 'free spirits' who "succeed" financial then pay it forward (and perhaps back in some way) to enable more free spirits. *as well as social norms, possibly onchain contracts - probably antithetical to the gift, but I'm thinking along the lines of the Founders Pledge

Paying forward is enough I think, this already transcended the paying back model. What can happen is that someone that was there in the "back" can also sometimes be in your "forward" flow at some other point in time, as we weave this web of gifts 😉
