adding a few people to the beta (native iOS app) this week

Wild Wild Money

Most people think crypto is mid-cycle with room to grow.

This is wild to me. Frustration with memecoins and availability bias from years of struggles are keeping people from seeing the forest for the trees.

Crypto deregulation, government adoption, institutional adoption, AI agents, Layer 2s, and other new infra are all potential step changes. We don’t yet know how any of this will play out, but their convergence feels like the beginning of something much bigger. 

I’m team supercycle here.

doesn’t even feel like a proper bull market yet

turns out i’m much better at making long-term bets and i’m usually correct

The "cabal" you think exists is people who were spending time here having fun and becoming friends when nobody else was and there was no money to be made

$Oil - introducing the Farcaster Community Oil Fund FCOF

Word on the streets of farcaster is that there is a fee share for clanker coins.

I do not plan on taking any of these fees

These fees will be shared with folks who are $OIL Tycoons...

How do you become an $OIL Tycoon?

Kind of sick of the bitching and moaning from the masses about who took secondaries and has multiple houses and got lucky because of their roommate. If you're too dumb to have gotten rich off of Farcaster already, you deserve to be bitter and poor.

In the current era of easy money and lax regulation, it’s not a rare feat to become wealthy

There will be more haves and have nots due to the economic climate (the middle gets eviscerated)

Far more important is *how* you make your money. If you build something that lasts in these chaotic times, that’s a rare accomplishment
