In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, staying ahead means not just trading but also sharing knowledge. A recent clip from CounterParty TV, hosted by @NotThreadGuy, features @izebel_eth – known as Jez – dropping some real gems on why right now is prime time for jumping into crypto content creation.

The tweet, posted by @counterpartytv, captures a snippet from "The Jez Interview." Jez compares the current crypto scene to the early days of YouTube around 2007. Back then, a handful of creators dominated, and the audience was just starting to explode. Similarly, in crypto, Jez points out there's only about 10-15 serious players vying for attention, but the overall interest in the space is set to skyrocket.

Here's the key quote from the clip:

“It’s like the Google YouTube 2007 era. There’s like 10-15 competent people that you’re fighting against, and the pie of attention is only going to grow. This is a really good industry to be in right now because it’s so opaque. You don’t know what you don’t know. There’s no Wikipedia... That’s why Friend.tech had product market fit because everyone wants to ask experienced people questions about the space, but you can’t DM them, can’t reply-guy them. It’s very hard to get people’s attention. So sort of like longer-form, more digestible content that’s not necessarily telling you what to buy but sort of pass on best practices... Whether it’s a live stream, whether it’s long-form writing, whether it’s just sort of consistent shorter-form posts... These sorts of things are... one of the best battlegrounds to be fighting on right now.”

Jez hits on a crucial point: crypto is "opaque," meaning it's not transparent or easy to understand. Unlike traditional fields with tons of resources like Wikipedia, crypto lacks centralized, reliable info. This creates a huge gap that content creators can fill.

The Role of Content in Meme Tokens

Meme tokens thrive on community and hype, often fueled by social media buzz. Think about how projects like Dogecoin or newer ones build massive followings through memes, threads, and live discussions. Jez's advice directly applies here – creating digestible content can educate newbies on token mechanics, avoid scams, and share trading best practices without shilling specific buys.

For instance, longer-form content like blog posts or streams can break down how meme tokens work on blockchains like Solana or Ethereum, explaining terms like "liquidity pools" (where funds are locked to enable trading) or "rug pulls" (when devs abandon a project and steal funds). This not only builds your audience but also strengthens the ecosystem.

Why Low Competition Matters

With only a dozen or so top creators, entering the space now gives you a shot at carving out a niche. As more people flock to crypto – especially with meme tokens drawing in retail investors – the "pie of attention" Jez mentions will expand. Early movers can establish themselves as go-to sources.

Look at Friend.tech, the social platform Jez references. It gained traction because it let users monetize access to experts via tokenized shares. But as Jez notes, direct access is tough, so content becomes the bridge.

Community Reactions and Inspiration

The thread sparked some fun responses. One user, @SpicyNFT, chimed in: "Going to use this as rational for all the content I’m planning to flood the TL with. See you on the battleground." Accompanied by this fierce panda meme:

It's a perfect visual for the "battleground" vibe Jez describes. Others echoed the sentiment, noting the thin moat in content creation and teasing about flooding timelines.

How to Get Started

If you're inspired, start simple. Post consistent threads on X about meme token trends, host Twitter Spaces (live audio chats), or write articles like this one. Focus on value – explain the why and how, not just the what.

As a former CoinDesk editor, I've seen how quality content cuts through the noise. In the meme token world, where virality is king, blending education with entertainment could be your ticket to influence.

This clip from CounterParty TV reminds us: the crypto content arena is wide open. Jump in before the crowd does.
