Literally, I will pay you to talk to me.

If you go to the dictionaries they will talk about the value of being social for your network and opportunities.

Social currency is a popular term that has not been around for long. It is understood as all the existing and potential resources which arise from the presence of social networks and communities – either online or offline.
Put simply, social currency is information that is shared by people as they go about their everyday lives.
Ref:

That's some web2 bullshit.

I'm talking web3.

**I will literally pay you for being my friend. **

Be social and receive currency.

I know which one that i prefer.

It's not easy but it beats working for a living. There is a reason that we all comment follow authors like taskmaster, khal, edicted, jongolson..... And it's not for their intelligent insights into the world of crypto. JK....

They have the money and we all want it.

So we pretend to read and like their content and make a few comments.

Great article. I like the bit where you said that we will all get rich and that you know everything about all of it.

Your insights are the best thing that i have ever read and you make posts good.

Sure jongolson@jongolson, you can make the champions league in splinterlands. Your the best Pokémon trainer out there.

Then wait for them to rain votes and crypto down on your head.



Will you be my friend?



I have some votes and will give them to anyone willing to talk with me. Not as much as some of the guys but my LEO votes is almost 2 LEO and my main vote is almost 2 HIVE. That should be enough for a few comments,

Well done.

Good post.

Your right Niall. You always are.

at a minimum.

I can't afford the good engagement yet. I'm not in that league.

I find it funny as it is bound to create success over time. If you have the choice of people to follow on Instagram of two celebrities and all other factors being equal in your interests, their content and your time....

Would you rather follow and comment on the influencer that gives out $5 upvotes to their followers or the one that gives out likes?

I think that 99% of people will follow and comment on the one who rewards their followers. We are just doing this on another level but over time the apps will catch up to the concept. I used to watch Mr.Beast on youtube as he always gave back form what he had earned.

As creators we need to create value on the platform but if we do that then we have the social currency and real currency to reward the people that bring that value.

Now we just need the right app to carry this concept to the masses.
