Paragraph
Where writers share, grow, and get paid — one post at a time.
@colin
We just shipped writer coins on Paragraph: a new way to support writers & share in the upside.
Paid subscriptions have shortcomings: there's no benefit for being early & it's hard to show off your support. You can read & subscribe but you're not truly along for the journey.
Writer coins provide a more compelling alternative: by backing a writer across all of their work, you can signal you were an early supporter & share in the momentum you helped create.
Plus, when you launch a writer coin, you can reward those who supported you:
- past collectors on Paragraph/Mirror
- followers on FC or Base app
- holders of your Zora/Base app creator coins
- & more

Amateurs Play the Game. Billionaires Own It.
Steve Wynn
“The Only Way to Win in a Casino is to Own One.”
– Steve Wynn
Most casino operators focus on maximizing immediate gaming revenue.
Not Steve Wynn. He invested heavily in non-gaming amenities that many considered unprofitable.
“I don't give a damn about the short-term market implications. This is not a company that gives a damn about short-term markets.”
– Steve Wynn

They Say He’s Nice. The Truth Is He’s Shrewd.
Michael Dell
“Ideas are a commodity. Execution of them is not.”
– Michael Dell
Most entrepreneurs who go public stay public.
Michael Dell orchestrated something unprecedented in the tech industry.
In 2013, he took his company private.
It was the largest technology leveraged buyout ever ($24.9 billion).
Then he brought it back public again in 2018.
This gave him the freedom to make long-term strategic decisions.
This kind of freedom came without quarterly earnings pressure.
Which is a luxury most public company CEOs don't have.
