First Draft Club

** Positive Sumcaster ** (my /firstdraft )

I don't think I heard the phrase 'positive-sum' before web3. And I never knew what it meant before Farcaster. 

You could say it's 'everybody wins,' but I think it's more correctly that 'normally' (in zero sum) there is a pie of resources & we fight for it. If I get 10%, you won't. In positive-sum, it's not just that we all get some pie, but that we are increasing the pie size through our collective resources & efforts. 

We could list regular positive-sum efforts on FC, but this week highlighted it in 4K. I didn't see the 'Farcaster Crowdfund' mini app created by @nicholas & @seedclub until @bertwurst.eth did the fundraiser for @klusya 's Lada. And then the explosion. I saw someone joke, 'When did we become GoFundMe?' But it struck me that this is the expression of positive-sum. @anemale.eth is suffering w/ Jungle in surgery. @ifeoluwafavour desperately needs a phone for work & gets it! And numerous others I can't think of atm. 

conclusion below ⬇️

Let's keep thinking positive sum!

There are a lot of crowdfunds in the GoFundMe style right now, in the wake of @bertwurst.eth's @crowdfund for Lada, but this is just the first successful application. Crowdfund lets you raise for ANY cause, and I'm sure we'll be seeing more of the following in the comings weeks: 

1. IRL events at Farcon and around the world
2. Open Source Farcaster public goods 
3. Farcaster branded sponsorship of sports teams and local initiatives
4. Onchain and IRL art spectacles
5. Fundraises with creative tokenized incentives incentives

Fund good ideas. No-fee USDC crowdfunds in a beautiful Mini App and on the web. Made with love to support Farcasters and Farcaster Public Goods. By @seedclub.
