Signed up for the Cascade Bicycle Club Seattle to Portland ride in July. Anyone else doing that this year?

I scored 9408 today on Balloon Pop by @ok!

Do you dare to inflate the balloon?

Welcome

Hello Warpcast, there is a new caster in town

from The Atlantic to Farcaster, say hi to @arashtehran — historian, writer, and author of the "What Iranians Want: Women, Life, Freedom," a thought-provoking homage to the new Iranian revolution.

I didn’t join the crypto industry 11 years ago to help it recentralize

Decentralization for community ownership is the whole point of crypto

I don’t care how few teams care about this deeply because it’s what people, communities, and the world needs

Developer ecosystem @farcaster, co-founder @bountycaster. Previously: co-founder of Scalar Capital, product at Coinbase, co-producer @ethereumfilm

Nice work on this @jrf it's fun and addicting!

i think BTC kinda makes sense, can't really justify anything else tho idk. such a volatile asset class and everything goes to zero against bitcoin long term

Ah man. Wonderful experience. NFTNYC 21 and 22.

Basically a nonstop party through the whole city fully funded by startups with too much cash for their own good

I don’t care about agency. Or, more accurately: I think agency is merely a means to an end.

I generally applaud the idea that people can and should take action in their lives. I want people to be empowered and opportunity to be distributed. I think we should design our tools and environments to enhance individual and collective agency.

However, agency as a concept feels dangerously void without a guiding purpose. As @jihad recently challenged us, “What are we actually working toward? What values drive our work? What kind of world are we trying to create?” (link to his essay below)

I’ve been thinking a lot about what my guiding purpose is. Right now, I think the answer is *flourishing*. I want humans to feel healthy, happy, and connected. I want to design things that help people find their own purpose, as well as the people and places that help them become the best versions of themselves.

Flourishing is still a broad concept, but it's at least a start in the right direction.

Other things I "don't care" about:

- crypto
- finance
- decentralization

My Farcaster feed is full of returning users who took a break and are now ready to go all in on the purple protocol. 

Love to see it!

zinger daddy speaking truth

sorry, I feel like the only people who think the erc-20 zora change is good are those that know the founder/team, so are are bit biased.

I feel like zora has moved away from posting and is just trying to be a pump.fun 

Idk it feels hollow. Probably why I mostly only see rodeo posts now

I don't know @jacob and @zora team, but I applaud the effort to innovate and try new things. I actually think mediacoin is a great idea. 

the user experience sucks right now because they're hijacking an existing standard (it wouldn't work without uniswap v4 integration). you only see the mediacoin in zora's UI and warpcast when you cast the contract address (which is just OK). everywhere else, it looks like a coincoin and it doesn't really make sense and feels like a let down.

but if you have any ability to imagine the future at all, then you can see a world where a new standard for mediacoin has been set and all (popular) apps show the media (image, video, 3d model, etc.) along with its title and description. the CTAs and some of the language being used around the token are different, perhaps more welcoming to newcomers.

let's see what happens and not throw stones at the people who are bravely out here trying new things.

this is cool: subscribe to a creator on @hypersub and get their zora coins airdropped directly to your wallet...

@aoifeodwyer sent hundreds of thousands (millions?) of coins to her supporters on hypersub before anyone else

https://warpcast.com/aoifeodwyer/0xa7952dd9

@hypersub + @zora together makes a lot of sense

sub to creators you love, receive tokens when they drop

worked great before, even better w new zora

cc @sdv.eth you mentioned this in another cast
