Man,
@Solana is a truly magical place that is not only home to the ability to trade anything in the world, but also the ability to best tokenize A.I ideas
For those of you that were asleep like normal human beings last night, you missed a really good lore drop
I saw this one post from this guy who said that somebody should vibe code a town square for
@Moltbook and basically visualize like a video game all of these little bots talking to each other on their own social media
So just like any other day for the past seven months, I decided to take a crack vibecoding it and shared my journey while doing that
I quote retweeted the original tweet with one photo and within three minutes I got a DM on Telegram from somebody saying that they created a bags token for it and that I had nearly $1000 worth of fees that I could claim
Now you know me. I'm not a real believer in the creator coin theory even though I think it's amazing so I've never attached a coin to my name or anything I've built
But Bags coins are literally just "hey, here's free money that you can use to continue building what you're doing" so...A few hours later I claimed it! Why not! The guys that made the token wanted me to have it!
I've seen how these usually go - sometimes these tokens can be forced onto people. But I've been in crypto for like six years so I could probably navigate this a little better than most
But to my surprise by the time that I claimed these fees, it was worth nearly $20,000
Out of thin air I was given nearly $20,000 for free willingly by the Solana community simply because they wanted me to have money to build this cute little thing
(Sure they had their own incentives of making money trading that token and that's totally fine. But $20,000? That's insane bro)
Fast forward 12 hours later I stayed up the whole night, shipped the entire product, and claimed another amount of fees from that same token on bags.
This time it was worth nearly $30,000.
In 13 hours of vibe coding this idea that I got from somebody else's tweet, I made $50,000.
No token rug. I held no supply. I didn't sell on anybody. I literally just claimed the fees from other people trading the token.
I'm not sharing this to brag!
I'm sharing this just to show that crypto and especially Solana and the Solana community in particular is the single greatest vehicle for you to tokenize or monetize anything that you're building in the world, especially AI stuff
I'm also sharing this as a quick lesson to make sure that you always build in public. Had I not tweeted that one simple screenshot, I would have missed out on over $50,000 in 13 hours of work. Could you imagine bro?
So yeah, there are a lot of nuances when it comes to these tokens attached to projects and I think everyone knows the risks involved whether you're trading or claiming fees
But I want to put it out into the world that this kind of stuff is literally only possible on Solana and the community that purposefully does this for you is a community that I've literally only found on Solana as well.
