During testing today, a Clanker token was inadvertently launched from my main account instead of my test account. This error is completely on me. Not a hack, and not a Clanker issue. All proceeds from that token will be used to purchase $NATIVE. $NATIVE is the ticker.

This is nuts. Our brains glow based on activity. Add a sensitive camera and a trained model and we can read each other’s minds? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11927727/

Phenomenal insights on momentum. The Big Mo is one of the most underrated aspects of product- and company- building and @jake does a really good job of diving into it here.

There is a BIG fact about Dots that isn't public yet. It's not in the /nativefun memo.txt. It's not on Twitter or Farcaster or YouTube. I haven't talked about it publicly. And I can't wait to share with you all.

Shout out to the phenomenal folks at $OPSYS for helping set the stage for a brand that expands with Native. HT to @fffflood. It's still day one.

I think Farcaster is moving on from the Christian Rap phase (underwhelming product with great positioning and few listeners). Now at Christian Rock. MUCH better product with a couple of crossovers that will attract more listeners (a la Switchfoot, Thrice, POD, Skillet, Relient K, Anberlin, Kings Kaleidoscope).

Happy Father’s Day, Farcaster! Paternal relationships can be challenging & not all fathers are dads. For those of you without your father or dad, I’m truly sorry. You’re loved. But to those of you who are both father and dad: keep fighting. Keep going. It matters too much.
