"People tend to overweight small probabilities—they'd rather risk a small amount for a chance at a big win than commit to a guaranteed high-cost purchase." A practical example? @azflin donation platform “Donate $1 to see who else donated” on Farcaster. I donated; obviously it’s just a dollar. But what surprised me was that 108 other people had done the same. Even @jessepollak donated; don't know if it was out of curiosity, though. Two things: Were people like me just curious to see who else donated? Or was it more like, “Well, it’s just a dollar. What’s the worst that could happen?” I don’t know if tipping was incentivized behind the scenes — maybe it was, maybe not. But either way, that tiny bit of curiosity + low friction triggered a chain reaction. And now I’m thinking: What if I applied this same mechanism to test run [redacted] by leveraging Farcaster mini apps as distribution? Trying out something on with a team @base for base batches.
