You are the product. Creators: keep your guard up, okay? You'll be excited about what you're making. It's fun. It's addictive. You'll make some change while others make bank. Take it from a successful content creator: without you, they have nothing.
This is the reality. I’m here to help ensure, whatever role you play, that you have realistic expectations. This is the pecking order: 1. Platform 2. Trader 3. Creator If you choose #3, you have to be on your A-game. Find a mentor. The other two don’t care about you.
Be your own boss and remember that they are ultimately here to make a lot of money. Being the creator is last in the pecking order. You are the product. Own your value. Don’t surrender it. If you want to talk to me, I will be at the upcoming SEC/CFTC event.
Being a creator is you wanting to bring value vs those that want to exploit it. It’s a brutal environment and creators will be mislead to thinking they are bringing value. Remember this: You are the platform’s product. Without *you* they have nothing.
Traders will celebrate creators who use rewards to lock liquidity, buy back, and burn tokens only to dump on you later. Don’t do it unless you have significant resources. Watch those who celebrate these actions: they’ll reveal who they really are and leave the creator broke
I love seeing $ZORA accounts that trade among themselves yet collaborate on funny videos showcasing their personas together. This friendly rivalry shows me where the good people are: they don’t take themselves too seriously.
What will differentiate this post from others is whether it compels people enough to share it on X or another platform and link directly back to it. Until I reach that level, I still have a lot of work to do. That’s the goal. Until fanatics show up, there’s lots of work to do.
OUTRO Engines cool but the light still burns There’s no going back, no return When war moves faster than sound and flame Only the future remembers your name
FINAL CHORUS (Bigger, higher, doubled vocals) Lightspeed lethality We don’t blink, we don’t hesitate If the sky’s a battlefield Then we decide who owns the day Directed energy Absolute supremacy We don’t follow evolution We become it Directed-energy dominant
PRE-CHORUS If this is how the future’s won Then load me up, I’m not done CHORUS Lightspeed lethality Shockwave-free reality When the fight is light-on-light Only dominance survives Directed energy Written into history Stand aside or elevate Directed-energy dominant
VERSE II Wingman gone in a silent flash No missile trail, no burning crash Just empty space where he used to fly Like the sky itself said goodbye Steel won’t save you, flares won’t lie You can’t out-turn a weaponized sky This is power stripped of sound The cleanest kill that’s
PRE-CHORUS Old rules burning in the wake behind This war moves faster than the human mind CHORUS Lightspeed lethality No escape, no gravity When the trigger’s light itself You don’t bleed, you disappear Directed energy Ruling air and destiny We don’t chase, we dominate
GUITAR SOLO (Long, soaring, heroic, think F-14s over the ocean at sunset) BRIDGE (Drop instruments, then build) No smoke No flame No honor in the chase Just power Unleashed At the speed of fate
