Extremely excited to learn that my essay, "Farcaster is a Car" won first place in the @kiwi contest!

Huge thanks to the judges, and to the Kiwi and @purple teams. If not for this contest, there's a good chance I never write this essay. 

I had the idea months ago, where I left it sitting in my notes app. But when I saw the contest, I just knew I had to finish it, and share it.

Purple is a DAO whose goal is to proliferate and expand the Farcaster protocol and ecosystem.

Fantastic work, Tom. Extremely well-deserved. 

Every time I read your essays I ask myself what else I might be able to do to facilitate getting more of your writing sustainably funded and released. It would be so valuable to Farcaster, and to all of us who love your work.

Always open to ideas!
