Crypto used to be fun. We used to have a hamster trader who outperformed Buffett by 200% Then he died. And now the most exciting thing in crypto is a Wall Street cabal coin, the US Government aping in, and a black tie event celebrating the President at $5,000 a ticket 1) What

As a first-time founder building Coinage ♻️ over the last few years, I've learned some lessons: - Never make the same mistake twice - Don't be afraid to admit you're wrong (but understand why you were) For three years, I avoided launching a token. The economics weren't sustainable and didn't allow for much of anything outside of speculation, given you could only buy, hold, or sell. Rather than just having a token, our thesis was figuring out a legal way to let people come together to co-own our media outlet at Coinage would be paramount. I did not want to invite people into another Mexican stand-off against people who were earlier than them or have anyone dumped on. I know people think NFTs came and went, but we committed the last 3 years to figuring out how they could be used to enable legitimate co-ownership via an onchain DAO/Co-op here in the US. And we cracked the code. After establishing that, $zora came along. Their model corrected for a lot of the problems I had with memecoins of the past. Then Coinbase 🛡️ leaned into supporting Base builders like Zora. It became clear times had changed. Tokens had become more liquid, standardized, and served as an easier onramp to community than NFTs. But that doesn't mean NFTs didn't matter. They just had to be used right. I actually think the most successful projects are going to be the ones who understand out how to use one correctly to compliment the other. A token without community is worthless. A community without shared ownership isn't a community. At ETHDenver 🏔🦬🦄 this year, I had the privilege of giving a talk on why we used NFTs to set up Coinage ♻️ as the first community-owned media outlet built on Ethereum. We did so for the same reason I first got into Ethereum: Decentralized ownership matters. Watch it and you'll understand the work that went into setting up $COINAGE for the long haul:
