EthCC people keep saying "there are no apps"

But don't use Farcaster because it's not infra-aligned 🙃

Gonna need a big die off / consolidation arc before we can start converging on apps

> But don't use Farcaster because it's not infra-aligned 🙃

what does this even mean?

Building /bright-moments - minting onchain art IRL | /purple #15 | FID 129 #magikarp

The last 10 years were spent investing money and labor across various branches on the infra tree

That has led to a lot of different vested interests. Notice Polychain, Dragonfly, Bcap, etc don't cast much while a16z, Paradigm and USV do

 VCs are the starkest example but same downstream effect on developers and users

Narcissism of small differences die hard, so it will take time and withering of most of the branches before we get alignment

This back and forth with @dwr.eth earlier has more specifics:

I still don't understand how that's not aligned?

average person at ETHCC is not a VC?

right, but there are three ecosystems:

1. Ethereum
2. Bitcoin
3. Solana

Everything else rounds to zero?

VCs were just the purest example of bag alignment

It's hard to convince a Cosmos dev (who has been working on IBC or something for 4 years) to use Farcaster because so much of their crypto identity is coupled with the infrastructure

Farcaster isn't a "Cosmos app" and never will be, but that is the requisite property
