** Positive Sumcaster ** (my /firstdraft ) I don't think I heard the phrase 'positive-sum' before web3. And I never knew what it meant before Farcaster. You could say it's 'everybody wins,' but I think it's more correctly that 'normally' (in zero sum) there is a pie of resources & we fight for it. If I get 10%, you won't. In positive-sum, it's not just that we all get some pie, but that we are increasing the pie size through our collective resources & efforts. We could list regular positive-sum efforts on FC, but this week highlighted it in 4K. I didn't see the 'Farcaster Crowdfund' mini app created by @nicholas & @seedclub until @bertwurst.eth did the fundraiser for @klusya 's Lada. And then the explosion. I saw someone joke, 'When did we become GoFundMe?' But it struck me that this is the expression of positive-sum. @anemale.eth is suffering w/ Jungle in surgery. @ifeoluwafavour desperately needs a phone for work & gets it! And numerous others I can't think of atm. conclusion below ⬇️

cont'd from above... I'll be honest, as an individual, it's overwhelming & tough to know what you can afford to support. But that's kind of zero sum thinking. As a community, the pie is getting bigger and more resources are going on than would have otherwise. And it's great to see & be a part of that kind of community.

I’ve been reflecting on all of this today. Maybe my view is wrong, I don’t know but to me, Web3 attracts a lot of people because of money and profit, which is understandable. However, the difference on Farcaster is that there’s something beyond profit: there’s kindness, mutual support, and sharing. These values are truly at the heart of everything here, whether through rewards, tipping, or recognition. All of this creates a dynamic of generosity, where people stop thinking only about themselves and their own gain, and start building real connections. That’s how incredible crowdfunding efforts and support movements happen. I believe we are in a circle where we want to grow together, rather than each isolating ourselves in separate communities. We genuinely care about others. That’s the experience I’ve had over more than a year here and honestly, it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever known
