With high value NFTs there is no such thing as art. It’s all about memetic energy and if it can reach enough meme energy to symbolize status through its worth. Nothing about it has to do with art.

Founders

What’s the version of open resumes like DocSend but for employees? For all job types so not like GitHub. I don’t want to open any pdfs emailed cold to me. Need something conventional and secure that everyone is using

Bitcoin isn’t scarce. There were just 21 million Nintendo game cubes sold and there will be 21 million btc. But one also has utility.

ENS style name systems, including ENS, are going to be worse for fraud and abuse than a cumbersome hexadecimal address sharing scheme in the long run.

conspiracy

If you add 1 to Valentine’s Day, you get pi(e). 2/14 => 3/14

Seeding new accounts on Warpcast with the same followers creates an echo chamber, not healthy onboarding diversity.

Stake to be authentic is here in a few years. People will put up large sums of money to be part of non-ai communities, with the expectation that if you are proven inauthentic you will lose your stake.

The only founder worth working with is an ambitious founder. You’ll know them by their actions, not by their words.

Gaming

Just spent a few hours trying to bring my original sega genesis back to life … able to boot but not able to read games. RIP for now genesis, I still have hopes of reviving you in the future. 🙏

For now, your cousin NES shall hold down the fort. 🫡

The OG focus in crypto hurts newcomers feeling welcome, which hurts the OG status those are trying to project anyways.

Having 1 BTC will be a bigger flex than 1 validator, even if a validator is worth more

The new Sora model from openai is absolutely amazing. The concept of innovation and creativity is going to change rapidly this decade. Hold on to your butts!

The skiff situation is a good reminder of why decentralized ecosystems are so valuable.

Challenge question @dwr.eth @v : how far along is Farcaster in this regard? If hypothetically your team got acquihired by Facebook (or Tencent, or...) tomorrow, how well would the ecosystem be able to keep going?

Excellent question. At the end of the day money talks, people walk. Decentralization is rooted in redundancy.

Starknet season beginning soon! Pumped for them!

I need a full length Dunkings movie asap. Explore the world entire universe lol

frames

A frame that is a live contest experience similar to that TriviaHQ app from a few years back. Competitive and Cooperative deso.

Coop frames are the grail of frames. Yoink is the closest I’ve seen to this yet, but still not quite there.

charmverse

we've all been scrambling to get our apps in a frame, so they can be displayed in warpcast, and thus benefit from its distribution

this inverts that: take the frame out of warpcast, and into other apps

very cool, clever, (and importantly) *useful* pioneering work. bravo charmverse

Can you sync a pfp to a frame? Does the farcaster or Warpcast api allow for programmatic administration of pfps, either on chain or off?

Would make for unique gaming or advertising mechanics with coop frames
