I honestly think Splits is the most underrated product on Ethereum.

Food

Went down a rabbit hole over Christmas to find the best dry pasta 1) from Italy 2) easy enough to get without too much advanced planning (ie Amazon) and have been happy with Monograno Felicetti.

Blind taste test confirmed!

it’s not about content or people…

those are two sides of the same coin & we don’t get more of those coins until the ecosystem & frame hub materialize & the flywheel backfills

we already used up our allotment & they left

so it’s no longer about people or “interesting content;” it now about good tech that captures attention & spins outward into a meta

then more people come; THEN we get more content 

i don’t know why we continue to look at a crypto-native social-first platform as a “social network that normal people are going to use one day”

they are not & it is not; it’s a CRYPTO-NATIVE PLATFORM that is social-FIRST; NOT social as a core value prop

it’s about crypto, devs, tech & markets

that much is made abundantly clear right from the sign-up funnel & as result, 90%+ of normal people will never cross that bridge

further the 10% that do will immediately get hit with suggested follows… who are all crypto people… so if crypto is not their cup of tea, they are done day 1

great thread, full of radical candor.

agree on many things mentioned about FC
'it’s about crypto, devs, tech & markets'
'devs should NEVER churn from fc; every dev in the space SHOULD WANT to be here'

fwiw i discovered @itsbasil's thread via the warpcast rewards frame, so some things are working 🙃

Comments in Farcaster threads are now being pulled into the Social Predictions page.

Not 100% sure we’ll send Ponder comments back to FC (write to FC is more annoying). 

Curious to see how this feels for people.

Hi Casters. I am really enjoying the community that is on Farcaster, Zora, and Rodeo. The combination of the three feels creative, fun, new, and different. What would be even better is if they shared a social graph and a follow on one is a follow on all of them. Seems like something Web3 should encourage.

Hi Casters. Following up on this cast, https://warpcast.com/fredwilson.eth/0x4ef6745d, I also think it would be good I could use Warpcast to consume Zora and Rodeo posts and visa versa.
