Recently discussed some principles we used when bootstrapping Farcaster with someone.

Stated vs. revealed preference is the one that I hadn't really internalized prior to starting. https://i.imgur.com/GoBfh44.png

How long did you bootstrap Farcaster for before funding?

Technowatermelon. Elder Millenial. Building Farcaster.

Building /stokefire a mobile strategy game onchain. Run and own poolfish.xyz a calculator for LP providers. Built Potion solo and sold for $300k.

Bootstrap in this sense was getting sufficient conversational liquidity for the network.

But to your question, @v and I funded it for the first year and a half.

That’s awesome. And a long time!

As far as conversational liquidity goes, Farcaster does have a lot better conversations going on. I have used Deso for awhile and the conversations going are not great or very enjoyable.
