GM creative Dragons! We’re phasing out the discord economy and replacing is with $DGN, our own social token. Those of you who have been accumulating discord coins will have first access to some new #DragonForge collectibles, including this beauty!
If not all editions are claimed, they will be purchasable with $DGN once we launch. You have until the end of October to accumulate more discord coins before we remove that feature.
To get the most out of $DGN, you make make a Social Connector account. It’s a software that rewards you for engaging in our tweets. So when you like our tweets we send you some $DGN as a thank you. Future merch and services will also be available through $DGN 👇
It takes two minutes to make a Social Connector account. Make sure you connect your Twitter and Discord. You’ll also need a Solana wallet, and that’s it!
$DGN is not a meme coin or a token that you’re stuck with. It’s a currency on a public exchange that you can convert to fiat on the #Solana blockchain. We’re building a creator economy that supports your creativity and community storytelling.

A community that feels unheard or unvalued won’t drive energy towards your business. I don’t make the rules, but I do notice them. It’s rudimentary human nature. Our success as founders and leaders hinges on this.
A study conducted by Harvard Business Review of 20,000 employees showed that
no other leader behaviour had a bigger positive effect than being treated with respect. People who said leaders treated them with respect were 55% more engaged.
But what does that actually mean? What is respect?
There’s the textbook definition, but what does that mean for the evolution of creator economies and communities in Web3?
If we’re inviting people into our circle of creation, what should that dynamic look like so we thrive?
When I joined the NFT craze in September 2021, I was naive.
Finally, I thought, a way for artists to make a good living. A new digital art movement that would propel the creator economy to new heights.
Was I ever wrong…
The reality: 99% of NFT pfp projects are money grabs that deploy wash/insider trading tactics to perpetually pump the floor, and give the illusion of high demand.
None of the big players were here for the culture unless it was the culture of profit.
Creativity is the MOST important skill you can have.
If you were about to click away because you don’t vibe with the word creativity, hold up.
People THINK they aren’t creative, but they’re wrong. We all have it in us.
Here’s how to be more creative…
But first I want to start with a story, about a guy named Steve Jobs. You may have heard of him…
Returning to Apple after Pixar, Jobs knew that talking about tech features wasn’t the way to sell computers. That’s why his first computer, Lisa, failed so badly.
To succeed…
Apple had to come up with a totally new marketing strategy.
So Jobs hired a team that would do exactly that. They launched the #thinkdifferent campaign.
Jobs said yes to doing the opposite of what every other tech company was doing.
Why I decided to launch a cryptocurrency/social token called $DGN on the Solana Blockchain, and why many companies & creators will do it too in the future. 🧵 🧵 🧵 👇 #blockchain#cryptocurrencies#DGN#Tokenomics#Web3
The last 10 years saw the rise of social media. The next decade will see the rise of the social token, cryptos launched by creators and businesses that will give them more control in their ecosystems and better opportunities to create relationships with their communities.
$DGN is not a shit coin, or a meme coin. We call it a social token because it’s not DeFi either. It’s more like Web3 Patreon. You hold $DGN and you get more access to me and what I’m building. I have tiers of membership. And instead of paying monthly you only pay once.
DragonForge is a #storytellingnft. More accurately, we’re a brand that uses #NFTs to give our members special access and support.
We’re making an adventure show for teens that adults will love. #DragonForge is not your typical animation, because it is being created by our members
The #story follows a #Dragon named Ember & his friends as they find their way home after a magical pendant strands them in another reality. But what begins as a journey home turns into a quest to save their world…
Ember, Dryden, Kip, Seraphine, and Zora used to be close friends, until they were involved in an accident that changed their lives. As they piece together secrets about the present, they will uncover unsettling truths about their past that will once again test their friendship.
