Not financial advice

It's worth pointing out that trending onchain notifications do surface things early—in some cases.

This morning we sent a notification around 8:15am PT about a new coin $GHIBLIFY created by @nounishprof.

We had a bunch of people complain that this notification was bad and/or meant the coin had peaked.

However, hours later, a prominent celebrity on Twitter bought the asset via Bankr. And the price increased.

What does this mean?

- First: not every notification will keep increasing in price afterwards. Many will gown down in price!

- It does mean that our algo is surfacing onchain activity that many other people on Farcaster are doing.

- Additionally, we now surface additional information about coins like the creator, the date created and the cast that created it (when available)

- We're going to continue iterating on these notifications—thresholds to send, what information to provide—because many people find them useful.

- If they bother you, you're free to turn them off

you’ll have to be Agency-maxing to decide what’s right for your risk profile, but if you believe that Farcaster is the next YC or network state or whatever, these kinds of alerts are what you want. Having the context of who launched and what for is really awesome. the memes, unless outrageously novel probably won’t do well in the foreseeable future, at least until there’s a massive wealth event.
