a brief history of the /degen channel: >once, there was no warpcast and no channels. all was farcaster. >then, warpcast. >then, channels. >when channels, @0xen asked @dwr.eth: wen degen? >and so @dwr.eth made /degen. >and it was good. >it was actually boring. warpcast had no degens. >then @jacek made $DEGEN for degens in /degen. >and then the degens came to warpcast and /degen for $DEGEN. >and it was good. >then warpcast realized it needed moderation, called "hosts" >and so dan made new hosts, including 0xen, Jacek, and myself. >and it was good. >then warpcast reset channel hosts to prepare for decentralization. >0xen became principle host and owner of /degen. >coincidentally, jacek made /degentokenbase (because duh). >and it was good. >then 0xen passed /degen ownership to jacek. >and jacek restored me as cohost. >now we prepare /degen for degens once again. >and evolve the channel to fit the new membership rules. and it will be great. the end 🎩🌹

I wonder what are the new membership rules 👀 You mentioned something the other day about "degen lifestyle" and I still have no idea what should go into this channel 😆 But if anyone can set the tone, it is you, so I am happy you are taking the lead.

this is chatgpt's best effort. take note, it is NOT correct about the word "degen" being specific to the "$DEGEN" token. That's hilariously incorrect. Degen - the lifestyle - has been around for ages. Not sure it's real origin, but it's well known among crypto types. The token's name came from the lifestyle/ investment strategy.

I hear you! But what about the membership rules? Like, what are we supposed to use the group for? Degen memes? Degen info? Alpha tips? No art 😂

in general, /degen is for the riskier side of crypto investing. that being said, farcaster's flavor of degen subculture needfully includes $DEGEN token stuff, which is less specific. i'm not sure what jacek has in mind for /degen gating. probably some combination of /degen fan token ownership, $DEGEN token ownership and locking, something else, or some combination of the above. what i'll resist, as mod, is stuff clearly outside of scope. for example: during $DEGEN token's runup, many, MANY artists used /degen channel for its visibility on the grounds that they were soliciting $DEGEN tips and thus their art belonged no matter the subject. ultimately, if it's in /degen channel, it needs to reflect degen values. that includes art of many kinds, but not every kind of art is allowed. make sense?
