there's a formula to going viral

people dedicate entire books & YT channels to it 

you know what this formula doesn't include?

providing massive value to people

every day mostly inane content goes viral on web2 platforms & the platforms profit from it

why so little valuable content reaches the top? bc value tends to be specialized

if someone discovers (& fixes) a major bug in the Ethereum codebase, chances are less than 0.0001% of the crypto world would understand the post about it 

and if a post does go viral, chances are it's from a crypto influencer, not the person who discovered the bug

if we only reward those who capture attention, who will focus on value creation instead of attention extraction?

who will look for bugs in the Ethereum codebase? or cure cancer, or solve other real-world problems?

we need to start aligning our systems with rewarding value creators, not meme generators

otherwise we'd get a lot more viral inanity and little value created

Happy easter!

I think crypto already is a creator economy, it’s just we don’t recognize it

Memecoins, vibe coding, solo-founder startups, miniapps, NFTs, are all forms of speculative content. 

The content has adapted to become more competitive in markets, creators using more advanced strategies and tools to succeed 

Speculative content isn’t passively consumed, it is actively priced

The content is always secondary in markets, the auction is the performance that matters, the art, the painting on the wall is secondary. It might not even be on the wall, more optimal for tax reasons to use a Freeport anyway
