i like jesse and believe he was sincere then, and i believe he’s sincere now but creator coins were pushed with enormous personal and institutional force he was in replies and dms telling people to coin their work, and his credibility made the idea feel more substantial than a standard degen speculative thesis a lot of people took that conviction seriously, made their own bets, and got burned so an admission followed by the next vision feels out of proportion to how forcefully this one was pushed i don’t expect him to undo what happened, but the trust that made his advocacy powerful will take time to earn again
