But people can already pay for unsold seats... with money. The same way the sold seats were paid for.


And how are they going to earn this money for actions that help the community?

It's much better when you can issue your own money supply


Same way people have earned money for millennia I suppose. If it has value it will be paid for.


Yes, exactly. It will be paid for in a coin that was issued by the community or the celebrity themselves.

The celebrity gets to have their own web server, their own coin, etc. making them independent of Big Tech and Big Banks. They can't get deplatformed. Their community can organize however they deem fit. The smart contracts allow everyone to trust the system.

Just saying someone will "pay you" like they did for millennia doesn't really discuss "in what medium". We have long moved past commodity money, gold blocks, then gold coins, then paper banknotes, to electronic money inside regulated banks, this is just the latest form that money can take.

Opposing it for the sake of opposing it, is like opposing the Web and HTTP and open protocols, because you think AOL and MSN walled gardens ought to be good enough for anybody, and no one really needs any custom servers or self-sovereign websites.


Almost nobody considers "deplatforming" to be a serious concern.

The kinds of people who are concerned are almost always people who engaging in risky or criminal behavior.

In the existing system, people can claw back money if they're defrauded or money is stolen. Under the memecoin system, that's impossible.
