Can Crypto Unlock the Vibe Launch?
The post Can Crypto Unlock the Vibe Launch? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This year has seen the emergence of a new Internet person empowered by AI coding tools to build software for the Internet’s long tail: the vibe coder. The vibe coder heralds an era of software development that is democratized, effortless and instant, and an Internet economy propelled by builders rather than influencers. Vibe coders need a viral and organic way to market their products. Crypto could provide it. A new generation of token launchers, such as Believe and L( )ng, is trying to unlock the vibe launch using tokenized idea markets that allow users to launch and trade product ideas. If those tokenized ideas attract enough support, these platforms assign a portion of the trading fees to builders who are willing to execute on them. Ideas markets are a clever way to harness democratized token creation and speculative trading towards dispersed innovation. For the vibe coder, they are a way to spark virality, attract community and gain access to Internet capital markets. Provided these new platforms can find ways to control abuses, cultivate committed communities and gain mainstream traction, they could help define the Internet’s next chapter and its new main character. Meet the Vibe Coder New technologies create new persons. Or, as Marshall McLuhan put it, “first we build the tools, then they build us.” Meet the vibe coder: the product of the vibe-coding revolution. Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, coined the term “vibe coding” about four months ago. Since then, the term has set off a stampede towards this Internet persona. Vibe coders are non-technical creators who build software products using AI coding tools (e.g. Cursor and Windsurf) that are flow-based and chatbot-oriented, and that enable fast and intuitive product development. Like past successful Internet personae, anyone can become a vibe-coder builder. With AI doing the coding,…
