back in november, no one on twitter knew about farcaster. by december, ct transplants of two kinds began arriving, drawn like moths to our bright, beaming shitcoins: >profiteers, inspired by $POINTS (then $DEGEN) and the farcaster narrative >tourists, who follow profiteers but have no skin in the game the ct transplant tourists were gone by May/ June. the ct transplant profiteers who haven't left are still churning and will exit by end-of-year. their fortunes ride or die with twitter, whether they realize it or not. markers: >exited farcaster social tokens (all at once or progressively, disillusioned) >out of alignment with native farcaster token economy (no tribe) >pontificated often and loudly on why: [insert reasons here, usual blah blah] >theatrical pivot to alternative crypto scenes (Solana, usually) risk: >ct profiteers are habitually toxic: their farcaster shitcoin profits were less than they wanted (of course) and that makes them bitter and unneighborly. fascinating to watch play out, tho 🍿

It’s gonna be interesting to see the future beyond the profiteers. When Degen tipping was a bit broken (may-june) a lot of people left. Or accounts that just went in got big and cashed out on their projects (very much finger pointing at the Onchain guys) The whole Moxie eco system brought a lot of people back in but with the sole purpose of milking. And people trying to get an audience on their projects often fall flat because of it. I’m kinda waiting for the next phase now.

all of that will settle down. the trick is that culture and economic experiments won't /also/ ossify. moxie token price will trend disfavorably for awhile, thank god. if price can stay disappointing for long enough, we might avoid a $DEGEN repeat. parabolas are fun for profiteers but create bad culture/ toxicity that needs a wash before new growth.

Agreed! It's also one of the fastest moving platforms I've seen in ages. It evolves so fast that we are also trying to seek for the edges of where we can bring it. With both Degen and Moxie dipping I am experiencing more interactions again to my own questions and casts as 'it's no longer' a rat race to earn as Moxie as possible. Meaning the genuine responses are coming back.
