POV: there is no influx of people waiting to join Farcaster once it goes permissionless other than airdrop farmers.

1. We use Ethereum, so anyone anti-crypto is won’t be convinced in the near term

2. Existing apps are too similar to Twitter, with way less content

New types of apps / behaviors for growth.

Staying invite gated until 1M users doesn't sound too crazy, no?

I’ve revised my pov on 1 million gated. Need to write up something. 

Goal is permissionless sign ups by end of year, but hopefully sooner.

That said, I don’t think sign up difficulty is the primary issue to solve for right now.

Yeah I remember you mentioned the changed POV in one of the clubhouse meeting.

36 weeks left in this year, we are at 12K. Assuming 5% weekly growth rate, it means we open sign up at ~70K users? (12K * 1.05^36)

~3% for the past few weeks irrc? That would be ~35K by year end
