JC. Thank you for articulating and sharing what I've seen as one of the core problems in the current meta. This is a problem I have explicitly and continually been building EmpireBuilder.world (with my Co-Founder @diviflyy) to answer. All of these disparate onchain artifacts getting minted by platforms that don't care about you the creator, or your long term success. Their primary value is your volume, your churn, & finding new people to ride that rollercoaster. And so we have these scattered pieces all over the place that are, to my mind, a lot more like top of funnel attention, distribution, sharing, and not connected or anchored to anything more substantial, deeper, connecting. This is what we've built, and continue to build, Empire Builder for. Yes, centered around a Clanker token (as we're an approved Clanker interface), but in a way that is designed to be generative and symbiotic, not extractive and parasitic. Our success is aligned with your success. When a Creator, Builder, or Founder deploys their Empire Token (a core token, an anchor token, however you want to term it) they're choosing an 80/20 split with us as an underlying support infrastructure committed to, & grown by, their success. Empire Builder = Tools, Resources, & Services to help you grow your Dream into your Empire. Part of how it does this is by also helping weave together all of those bits and pieces scattered about. If people hold them, it's because you're delighting them, because they're interested in what you're doing, because they're supporting you. This is a great community indicator of alignment. You can set those up as Boosters in your Empire. If people hold X of that token, or that NFT, they're a Booster. They get recognized as that in your Empire, & it multiplies their score (Core Token x booster multipliers) to display their rank on the leaderboard, or leaderboards if you want to get more nuanced. You can then easily scan and see your active community. And you can choose how/when to reward them. For being your supporters. For believing in you and supporting you. I think the fact that Creator & Content Coins are called Coins aligns with the fiscal focus those launching entities have in mind. But I think it's not in service of the Creators, Builders, Founders, who are using tokens to represent, and actually be, so much more. These tokens are affiliation and energy. They're support for a project. They're delight in what's being shared and created. They're a part of the bigger puzzle which is actually structuring in ways that benefit and allow the actual Creators/Builders/Founders to grow a generative ecosystem around their passion and magic. I could go on more about all of this but it's time to take the dog for a morning walk and find some coffee 😂 Thank you for sharing your thoughts and this vibration. It resonates. And I believe we can and need to build something better. We've been working on it for over a year now, and we're just getting started. From Dreams to Empires. 🏛️ Thank you @jonathancolton for writing this, @bradq for curating it to @sopha, & @chriscocreated for making Sopha so I could see this too!
