Thx for the AMA & welcome to Farcaster! Do you think there's anything crypto-related that would have *specifically* improved Neopets in its prime if: (1) crypto was as well known then as it is now (2) we had today's crypto tech or slightly better

Ty for the welcome! Love the community here! I think about this often. What would an on-chain NeoPets look like, and would it make sense. NeoPets at its core was about culture, so in that sense it would absolutely fit right in to the web3 world. The question is what metric are we judging "improvement"... (continued)

If we're judging by decentralization, then yes. eg, @cdixon.eth's "communities instead of by companies" inspires me If we're judging by experience, I'm not sure we're there yet. That being said, I'm here today on Warpcast because I now see what is possible when you build top-notch UX/UI on top of a web3 protocol.
