(Perhaps an unpopular opinion)

Degen, Moxie, and Clanker have done very little in terms of bringing new users + “interesting content” to Farcaster..

They most certainly have filled the bags of existing users.. which leads to very bad/biased takes around their efficacy re: growing Farcaster’s userbase

Ive only heard claims about degen onboarding users, which is well backed up by the data I’ve seen, unless you attribute it to frames?

Moxie I haven’t heard any claims about onboarding or retention

I also haven’t seen any claims about Clanker besides obvious spike of attention, which is hard to get confident about 22 days in.

Solid take.

Besides degen, what do you think has lived the needle for engagement in the last 6 months?

I think agents and Clanker have laid the groundwork potentially…

this makes me think its more an opportunity for speculators to trade in general, which isn't too surprising.

guess we need some translation for $OIL across the SEA languages

hmm

I'm optimistic we can move needles, but haven't had much time to look at network data

people come for one reason, meet people, stick around. I always try to engage with users, even if they're being rude or annoying to some degree. drives me insane sometimes though lol. 

I know our metrics just can't extrapolate. most of our buyers seem to come from X? large chinese user base as well!
