The @friendtech app is a better BitClout:
• decentralized
• no liquidity needed (bonding curves)
• asks for your Twitter consensually

Hopefully it creates a social graph large enough to kickoff a flywheel that lets it go past novelty-driven speculation.

Social graphs don’t create flywheels. DAU do. :)

I semi-agree. Their social hype half-life is definitely gonna be wayyy too short to kickoff anything meaningful.

But technically, on a slightly more sustainable hype, it could work and trigger “composability escape velocity” (devs build on top, creates a bottom-up protocol)

Showtime is using the NFT protocol for now, that’s it.

I first wanna get users before going heavier in the protocol which I believe prevents speed of iteration

However you are IMO the best protocol today no doubt and I understand why devs as a first audience (we’re creators-first) — makes sense in your case!
