I’m taking a gamble on the creator meta with Gossip Goblin.

Today Elon told him he needed to join the creator program, followed him, subscribed to him, and has also recently reposted his videos.

At the same time, Gossip Goblin is judging the same Lumara Film Festival (hosted by Venice & MoonPay) as HeavyPulp alongside Ansem and Banks.

He’s also followed by Toly, Murad, Frank DeGods, pmarca, HeavyPulp & Phantom... a pretty interesting group of people across crypto, tech and internet culture already paying attention to what he’s creating.

The coin itself has also been around for roughly 8 months, so this isn’t something that launched today trying to capitalize on the Elon attention. Fees are directed to Gossip Goblin’s wallet, which is one of the things I like most about the setup. A vamp one was also launched today after Elon comment, however that was directed via X Pay, which Gossip Goblin is in Sweden, X Pay does not work in Sweden.

Crypto spends a lot of time extracting value from creators and culture. I think there’s an opportunity for that to start working the other way, where communities actually support the creators producing the content everyone is consuming.

Obviously none of these follows, reposts or connections guarantee token attention.

That’s the gamble.

I’m betting that creator backed culture becomes a bigger crypto narrative, and Gossip Goblin alongside HeavyPulp & 2he feel like one of the more interesting places to watch it happen.
