Dad: your mum said she'd be mad if I didn't take any pics of you this weekend

He outcome:

Kill me now lol

I went to a charity event this weekend, and they told me I looked like Andie from the movie *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days*. It wasn’t intentional, but we did end up looking alike! 
By the way, I love that movie! ❤️

been reading the tea leaves recently (scrolling through tiktok comments)

Hi Copenhagen!!! ❤️

mornings in my happy place 🧸 
gooood morning & happy friday !!! yesterday was world mental health day & i just wanted to touch on that a lil bit ☁️ i made this account in 2022 when i lived 9000 miles away from home & was feeling like i didn't really have anyone around. it was a safe space for me to post book reviews & speak to people who had like minded views as i felt like it's all i'd talk about to my friends who didn't read 📚

for my birthday, my sister got me a book flower vase W if you know me, you know i love flowers & books so much so this gift is really beautiful.

"and so i try to be kind to everything i see, and in everything i see, i see him" ☁️ 🌟 

probably my favourite book of all time, such an intricately written and heartbreaking piece of literature. i'm not sure i'll ever fully reread it again because it made my heart so heavy but i enjoy going back to read quotes from time to time, and this mornings gloomy rainy day provided the perfect backdrop for it.

One of my favorite ideas re: consumer crypto development is from "Product-led protocol development" from @dwr.eth 
https://danromero.org/product-led-protocols.html

TLDR: 
To successfully develop a new protocol, start by building a high-quality initial application that attracts a significant number of engaged users, which will in turn draw developer interest and encourage diverse, thriving client ecosystems.

To take this a step further, how can you extend your protocol with new differentiating features beyond just a smart contract on some execution environment?

This is one of the things /eigenlayer enables.

Farcaster

Virtually all of the people on Farcaster with large audiences:

1. Don't have large audiences elsewhere (Farcaster is their first time with a large audience)

2. Didn't know me or Varun and didn't know each other. The "Farcaster OG scene" is net new creation of Farcaster.

3. Were early and stuck around when everyone made fun of Farcaster (and people still do)

4. Continued to cast interesting stuff, casted in channels when we suggested people cast in channels

5. Warpcast onboarding asks all users for their interests

6. Based on the interests, we pair the account with an initial set of follows

7. There are 200+ accounts on the list, weighted toward accounts that get the most engagement / drive retention, but a large group of people benefit

8. On our list to improve, but the reality is outside of "I should be on the list!" haven't seen any concrete proposals to improve

The only way to grow on farcaster is to reply to people, individually, with meaningful replies, but unfortunately a lot of people don’t want to put in the work

I’ve yet to see someone make this list and not have a good following

It’s a very different audience than CT
