Why Channels 2.0 is good for new users.

I was the ~6,000th person to join Farcaster. When I got here, I did not know anyone. And believe it or not, 6,000 was a discouraging number, since everyone had pretty tightly-wound histories, statuses, jokes, cliques, etc. 

To re-consider that situation through the Channel 2.0 lens: It's as if Farcaster itself was a big channel that I was not a Member in. 

I earned my membership by replying genuinely one-by-one, day-by-day to people who I found interesting. But it took upwards of a year to be really in.

Saying this here because I believe that Channels 2.0 Make Farcaster Cozy Again – a blend of exclusive, yet approachable. For new users especially, it's less like a 60,000 person gorilla, and more like a matrix of those 6,000 (or 600 or 60) person cohorts that OG users originally encountered here. 

tldr: I think Channels 2.0 are a way for new users to find their exclusive social opportunities even more quickly than OG FC... which was already fantastic. Win-win-win.

Cross-posting a thought on staking from the other app:

------

Perhaps we should recognize that 32 ETH is much more of a barrier for stakers than bandwidth reqs, and temporarily do a trade where we up the bandwidth reqs a bit and in exchange drop the staking deposit minimum to eg. 16 or 24 ETH.

It's net-good for both staking accessibility and scale. Then once we figure out peerdas, bandwidth reqs go back down, and once we figure out orbit SSF, the deposit minimum can drop to 1 ETH.
