High-signal independent writers, deep tech/science essayists, and first-principles thinkers who value substance, immutability, and direct reader support—people like Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Scott Alexander-style rationalists, long-form crypto/cash maximalists who actually understand electronic cash, and select independent journalists or researchers who get censored or diluted elsewhere. POW is built around real costs (tiny XEC payments that fingerprint the exact text on-chain), pay-to-unlock articles with most revenue going straight to the writer, NFT-owned handles, and no traditional accounts/email/credit-card gatekeeping. That design filters spam, timestamps and proves the words, and lets readers vote with actual money instead of dopamine clicks. It rewards careful writing over volume and creates a marketplace where attention is earned rather than farmed.
