There are ways to justify this (decreasing marginal tax rates are consistent with optimal tax theory, as you get the incentive effect without the reduction in revenue on the hours that people would work anyway), but in general I'm kinda worried about tax policy being driven by memetics. Becomes a complexity nightmare.

Taxing wages is theft.
Theft is immoral. 
Thus taxing wages is immoral.

But governments will do it anyway…

you are pseudonymous because of how you fear the laws you broke

we are not the same

I am not pseudonymous because I lack the discipline to stick with the shtick

but I envy those that do

ok this is funny

I feel like I’m being punked.

Can someone explain to me why Biden put on a trump hat, then later was seen walking on to AF1 with the hat in his hand? Is this real? What is going on?

@vrypan.eth has a bunch of very interesting ideas in this post. 

we're not pursuing them today, but i suspect we might in the next year or two if things keep growing!

This is really good! If you are thinking about building on Farcaster read this to expand your horizon.

As someone that is a little OCD, the dust left in some of my one-time use wallets causes me to lose sleep at night.

Google definitely nerfs gmeet on Safari.

Impossible to use on safari, but smooth as button on chrome

Does this apply to casting?

I am extremely bullish on the of crypto payment rails championed by @barmstrong  💪 

But can we please, please, I'm begging, invest in shielded transactions so my kids and their kids don't have to live in a dystopian hellscape!

Came across this article. At first I thought, weird why no mention of Farcaster.  Then I read this and thought, is this parody?

"How Decentralization is Bringing Friendster Back to Social Media
Friendster, a social networking service launched in 2002, once allowed users to connect, network, and interact. However, the platform shut down in 2015 due to difficulties in maintaining its user base."

I’m curious why I got this notification?

For the three people that say Ethereum is NOT Turing complete, can you explain?

Curious what other casters think about Personhood Credentials?

We're doing a ton of work these days to help users merge duplicate accounts!

Because a Farcaster account comes with a set of linked verified wallet addresses, it's a great place for us to start

BIG thanks to @kayvon and the @rodeodotclub team for encouraging this buildout 🤠

I've been saying this since i joined FC, but it's worth constantly repeating. The Farcaster ID layer is the superhero building block for apps.

1️⃣ Able to link many Ethereum or Solana addresses to one FID
2️⃣ Each app uses its own key pair as an "authorized agent" of the FID

As more apps build on this layer, the network effect of the Farcaster ID is going to 🚀

Is “zethereum” the greek pronunciation of “quilibrium”?

Received another 5USDC today. Expected it of course — that’s what comes with being a world-class caster. It’s the same way Lebron James isn’t surprised when he scores a double-double, or Martin Scorcrse knows that he will direct an Oscar-winning film. It’s called natural greatness.

But I notice there has been a vibe shift since I joined this exclusive club. I find that I no longer have time for normal chit chat and pleasantries with the mob. When you have 5USDC rolling in daily, life feels too short for such nonsense.

When my boss calls me asking ridiculous questions like, “Why haven’t you been into the office the last two weeks?,” and “Why are all our corporate accounts showing overdrawn?”, I don’t even bother engaging. I merely send them a screenshot my 5USDC deposit, hang up the phone, and laugh.

5USDC is no longer just a lifestyle, it’s a movement.

For me, the 5USDC felt more like “finally, I got one car to give me some $$ now I can buy an espresso this week!”

I can only aspire to be in the 5USDC-a-day club.

Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day. Alternate explanation, the Italian football tactician is showing! 😅
