You're taking platform risk except sign up, account management, all of the casts, likes, follows and ETH address verifications are permissionless and decentralized—right now.

I agree but we are still pinned to the success of FC. If it doesn’t fly we are doomed too 😢

Why?  

Your gtm shouldn't be 100% reliant on $0 CAC organic user acquisition from the Farcaster ecosystem.

Whats an example of a valuable app that was/is 100% reliant on the iPhone specifically v smartphones overall ?

Genuine question.

Like if no one bought the first iPhones, all the apps would be doomed, no matter how good and valuable they were

My point is its great to use FC as a 0->1 launchpad but you should not plan your entire gtm and user acquisition strategy around it.

Dan may disagree :)

True, but if nobody cares about FC, what value would a FC-ecosystem app have?
