Are you all realizing the implications of this $SOS Airdrop???

OK — b4 all the VC thinkpieces start.... these airdrops (like $ENS before it) flip script on how EVERYONE will value their time + spending online👉 u're finally rewarded 4 using. It's bringing incentives that I love (as a founder/investor) to the COMMUNITY that makes it all work

Because everything is in a public database, it allows anyone to show up and reward behavior stored there. Yes, there will be lots of spam, but the projects that emerge w great teams can win big by incentivizing (not preying upon) community.

If you thought my interview on Minimum Viable Community slapped earlier this week, it just got 10x more valuable:

I've built and breathed community for 16 years+ and I'm here rn like. Merry Christmas indeed. (also brilliant drop date not just bc sentimental, but also bc so many ppl are avoiding their family, on their phones/computers, lol, and no other news cycle)

Now: Anyone can show up to a massively successful project and draft on their community and if you offer something more interesting / rewarding etc, leapfrog your way into a very motivated Minimum Viable Community overnight.
