The trio returns while David’s on beach duty. Coop accidentally launches his creator coin, the fellas cover the state of onchain creation, what’s working, and what still feels broken.

🔟 Top Moments

(06:30 ) Coop's late-night Zora token launch – unintentionally launched his creator coin at 5:30 am in a diner.
(08:20 ) Creator Coin strategies – posting videos, airdropping to top holders, experimenting with Noise.
(09:30 ) Are creator coins working? – discussion on upside, missing mechanics, and how activity drives value.
(12:20 ) Farcaster vs Coinbase Wallet – video wars heating up, platforms converging on short-form content.
(22:50 ) New Coop Records platform launch – email signups, coin sections, follow features, credits instead of ETH.
