Jesse Pollak Reflects on Need for More Context in ‘Base is for Everyone’ Launch
Jesse Pollak from Base has been active in discussing content coins and their implications. Key points include:
- Pollak faced backlash for a now-deleted post featuring an image from Hinge, raising concerns about consent and platform terms of service.
- He apologized for the post, acknowledging the feedback received and emphasizing the need for more context in future communications.
- Pollak's goal is to onboard more users into blockchain through experimentation, despite potential oversaturation in the market.
- He differentiates between content coins, which have no expected utility, and memecoins, which focus on community value.
- An example given was a photo of granola he coined with a current valuation of $3,500, highlighting the lack of ongoing support or community around individual content coins.
- Pollak clarified that Base's activities on Zora were not part of a coordinated marketing strategy and have been ongoing for two years.
