This Friday at 3pm ET, I’m hosting an AMA with @eugene in this channel! 

He’s an incisive student of tech, authoring classics like Status as a Service and Seeing like an Algorithm.

Ask him about social networks, consumer product, and insights from his years as a product exec at Oculus, Hulu, and Flipboard!

GM @eugene wanna ask:
1. Where does warpcast currently fall under your 3 axis: social capital, entertainment and utility. And where do you see it might trend towards?

2. How do you see farcaster might help bridge the gap in any of the 3 pairs: Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology.

Warpcast has strong hold in the crypto world, that's a solid base of social capital. It has the entertainment value inherent to micro-blogging. But, and here I'm generalizing to Farcaster, the most interesting thing is experiments in utility, the most stable long-term foundation.

I appreciate that @dwr.eth hasn't been tempted, like other recent social apps, to just shoot for viral hacky growth. It's nice when you achieve the latter but it's really not a stable foundation in a world where we have massive incumbents.
