Hi Casters. After hearing a lot of reactions to my New Year's Day Predictions post, most of it very positive, I have decided that I need to change the name from predictions to provocations https://avc.xyz/predictions-vs-provocations-1

All reimplemented in an Internet First way.

Ah.

I don’t know if cancellation is gone. I think it’s in partial remission because we have self-sorted into social networks (Farcaster, Nostr, Gab, Parler, Truth, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads) with more aligned values.

That is: the internet is evolving boundaries, and it’s ok to like what your community likes.

The most amazing thing about Farcaster is that your followers can instantly become your app users.

This isn’t yet completely one-click, but with the right frames and NFTs it could be.

Launching a third experimental series. Meet Floración 🌸

Founders

Launching a token can be as easy as sending an email. 

Unlocking their potential as a new digital primitive and bringing them to market is much harder.

I’ve worked with dozens of founders tackling this challenge and am now releasing a 3-part playbook written for everyone. 🧵
