why are we, as purple app users, missing out on all the big CT trends?

not only that, but missing out on massive meta shifts that are happening on OUR VERY OWN CHAIN

how could this be? 

yeah, listen, i don’t know how many times i can say this: there are 5k of us—it has nothing to do with the tech, it has nothing to do with culture—it has everything to do with the fact that there are 5k of us…

this a unicorn app & there are 5k of us… more than 2 years in… and there are 5k of us—made even worse now given the fc top funnel thesis is materializing with the frames upgrade 

culture? culture was the <20k FIDs acting wildly elitist towards newcomers all through february & march 

culture was shunning degen because it spammed your precious 5k user feed—the only project that had sustainably brought in more users

culture was ignoring big CT accounts that came here because “new giants would rise” 

culture was letting bots dilute anything & everything meaningful, including engagement itself

kind of reminds me of back when pepe first popped off in 2023, it was like the only coin that had gone up in two years and obviously a giant deal and people were on farcaster months later being like, 'what's pepe?'

🎩 first, but I like being part of this experiment that is the Farcaster network. 

my thesis is you won't be a good builder if you have no idea what's happening in the real world. plenty of builders do

I think that is part of the 'builder' mentality here tho

I think basil's main idea to get capital behind the builders is the main one, better to build the next-gen of stuff of here than just be able to trade it

it was after that that i started pleading for a 'degen' channel because you would get roasted for talking about coins on main

🤣🤣🤣

i know fc was even smaller then but laughing so hard rn

Pepe was different. There hadn't been a big coin in years.

Yeah but I don't feel like everybody has to know about every big coin... There's too many to keep up with everything. Twitter folks are sleeping on Bankr and other stuff we're more clued in to. And some people on FC were early to those "CT coins" too. The fact that there's so much going on with Base that we can't keep up with it all is a good sign of growth. 🤷‍♂️

haha yep, and even now many FC ogs look down on coins like pepe in favour of “real communities” (read: their friends) even though memecoins have enormous mindshare and organic communities

If there is a definition of opportunity one can experiment with agents to route the opportunity difference here.

Once again, I knew about Pepe but wanted nothing to do with it and don’t understand why people don’t get that it’s fine.
