I guess I started an accidental AMA on which parts of the crypto space are good and which I'm so far not excited about, along with other big picture vision questions: https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1827583576751181961 You should feel free to ask questions here too! Let's see if Farcaster can come up with higher-quality questions than the other app :)

“don’t sacrifice on the principles” but farcaster and base are not yet decentralized, and that’s why they’re so good right now I think there’s no other way you can build something as impactful and useful as that telegram probably would’ve never had a success it’s having if it was a decentralized open source app with no clear leadership and eventually, any app can just decentralize by choice right so I really don’t get it when this industry is pushing for decentralized solutions when there’s no working solution in the first place

Farcaster is quite decentralized, as I understand? I can read/write casts with an alt client, I can set my recovery address to be my safe multisig and that's directly enforced on chain, anti-DoS is done with on-chain costs, etc etc.

so I’m not disagreeing with this it’s just I think we’re not talking about the fact that those use cases we want ethereum to take on - need the centralized approach to grow but placed on a decentralized foundation if the team behind farcaster didn’t build and market warpcast - we wouldn’t be here now
