"Merkle just helps its friends"

How many times do I have to repeat that most users and developers on Farcaster did not know Varun or myself prior to joining Farcaster.

And in some cases have *become* friends because they stuck around early on when no one else cared. We've spent years with this people socializing on this social network. :)

Don't conflate something that's earned / built with cronyism.

i didn’t know dan, varun, or anyone on the merkle team prior to joining farcaster in february 2022

to go even further, i barely knew anyone in crypto, period

all i did was show up every single day, post based memes, and engage with other users

@recess + /latenightcrew /brianjckim /cookies

yeah you used to post banger memes and then you fell off but we still like you
