Creator coins are your own personal crypto coin that is minted on the DeSo blockchain for your profile. You will want to purchase at least 3 of your coins when you start your account.

Things to Know About Creator Coins
Remember, it can be harmful to sell your creator coin. People think it is a rug pull. Buy a minimum of 3. You will want to buy more if you plan on giving some away.
Giving away portions of your creator coin can be beneficial for growing followers and investors.
If you want the ability to sell some of your coins in the future for profit, set up another account. You can leave this account unnamed if you would like.
How to Buy DeSo
There are currently three main options to buy DeSo.
Buy DeSo on the Nodes
The first method to buy DeSo crypto is on the actual nodes. Let’s use the diamond app as an example.
Above is a screenshot from the diamond app. The Diamond App Node has the three options offered on the DeSo Nodes. You can buy with fiat using your card through wyre, buy with Bitcoin, or buy with ETH.
Buy DeSo on Exchanges
Two top-tier exchanges offer trading for DeSo at this time. More exchange listings are expected to come in the very near future, including CoinBase.
AscendEXBlockchain.com are the two options available for exchange trading.
How to Sell DeSo
You can sell your DeSo as usual if you are trading on blockchain.com and AscendEX.
If you are buying on the DeSo Nodes, there could be a couple of layers.
I like to invest in individual creator coins. It is just like investing in altcoins in the regular crypto market. You can see a substantial increase in creator coins over just investing in DeSo coin.
If you want to sell DeSo and have invested in creator coins, you will first need to sell them to convert to DeSo.
Go to your wallet as shown below and click on the three dots to the coin’s right. Click sell on the creator coin options.
Now that you have converted the creator coins to DeSo and are in your $DeSo wallet, we can move on to the next step.
For the next step, go back to your DeSo wallet if you have already left it and click on the Send DeSo button on the right-hand side of the screen.
You will see a popup like the one in the image below. Enter the public key from your blockchain.com or AscendEX wallet to cash out.

DeSo is The True Decentralized Social Media Blockchain
I have been testing out numerous so-called decentralized social media platforms and of all of them, DeSo is the only real true one I have found.
All of the other decentralized social media platforms I have found I would classify as blockchain social media. Your info may be minted on that blockchain but there is only one application that you can use.
DeSo stands out due to the fact that the information is minted on the blockchain and can be carried between 100s of dApps currently. I am sure in the future it will be thousands.
