Writers

I finished a new essay, "Farcaster is a Car" which I'm submitting to the @kiwi Farcaster 2026 writing contest. It tackles the question of marketing and growth by reimagining what social media could be.

The ideas were inspired by Nassim Taleb's insight that new forms of technology have a tendency to fix problems introduced by previous technology. It got me thinking: what problems in Web2 social media can Farcaster fix? The answer I came up with was context collapse.

In this essay, I draw on an analogy between Farcaster and the early automobile, from historical, practical, and cultural angles. Using crypto (and AI) technology, Farcaster has the potential to unlock a "mobile self," turning users into builders who can create their own contextual experiences while maintaining continuity across the web.

Following an evolution of social media:

Y2K -> Social Networking & Long-Form (MySpace/Facebook/YouTube)

2010’s -> Short-Form & Visual (Twitter/Instagram/TikTok)

Later 2020’s -> Owned Media (Farcaster/Fediverse)

Memes

Proceeds to go long for Goatseus Maximus 🐐 #GOAT

It was first pre-internet meme! (not exactly funny for our time) 😀 

Did you know that t first pre-internet meme appeared in print back in 1921? 

The comic was found in a 1921 edition of satirical magazine The Judge.

Sounds like they had an equivalent of “rizz” back then. I wonder what term they used in the 20s? 🧐😎

Farcaster is good for Ethereum and good for ENS!

Crazy awesome how many apps have been developed on top of Farcaster! https://farapps.vercel.app #dapps

you can be a Solana maxi & a Farcaster maxi at the same time

Bet there’s an agglomeration effect by having Solana & Ethereum compete with each other. #competition
