“hey basil, i made $100 on my post!”

> no, not yet you didn’t. you still have to dump the token on the very people who bid up your work in the first place trying to “collect it.”

“what? so they have to lose money in order for me to make any? couldn’t i just charge them $5 each? then they’d know what they’re getting & at what price? how much money can they lose?”

> they will likely lose every single dollar invested if you pull out $100.

“so what am i supposed to do? can i pull out $50?”

> yeah, but it will likely cause anyone paying attention to pull out, causing the token to crash either way. 

“so my collectors are bound to lose money while savvy traders who don’t even care about my work make money?”

> yes. 

“this doesn’t make any sense. my collectors are not dumb… they won’t bid on my next work if they know they’re going to lose money on it. and for what? a token? they don’t want that? they want the art in the post.”

> welcome to crypto.

tbf what your describing here is the content coin model (which I agree sucks). The collectible model that Farcaster launched yesterday fixes this. Although I still have my doubts about demand, it at least aligns the bidders with the creator.

Content coin model is so stupid it’s a wonder anyone took the time to develop it

1:1 collectible model also allows “redemption” for real value. Cool use case emerging.
