This week, I wrote a long form on SkyX; a DePIN that uses solar-powered weather stations to collect real-time data like temperature, humidity and rainfall.

(I'm open to feedback and criticism)

A New View of FC Community (my /firstdraft )

We talk about 'building community,' but why is it so hard?
 
@danicaswanson shared "Community Is Not the Product," in which the author argues that extrinsic--or external---incentives, in particular tokens, will not 'build' community.

A community, he says, 'is an organic group of humans who are aligned on a given mission & values, working together to achieve that goal.' A community is formed by intrinsic-or internal-incentive--the people are already aligned. 

Community is a big part of why I'm here. This article gave me words to describe some things I've seen.
 
@hankmoody is building /live-the-same with intrinsic incentives. Hundreds of FCers meeting hundreds of FCers--it's like a digital cup of coffee.
 
/sense recently decreased in activity when Moxie changed. Guess who it didn't change? @3irka.eth @girl-ua @tylerfoust.eth @rosekeyes @vito4ka.eth Why? Because they are there for intrinsic reasons--they love building community.

Sharing my first essay in a while!

I explored why Farcaster’s open architecture and AI-readiness make it more than a crypto platform.

Would love your thoughts and feedback

I feel some shame around presenting my work, when it is not perfect. 

This week Life came in between me & the writing, so I had not so much time & I couldn't double check if everything is correct (grammar, typos, story etc.).
But, the more I write, the more I let go of this urge to chase perfection. To put it raw, just like that, in /firstdraft feels fricking amazing!!!

About the story:
Bodhilama still tries to break trough the sunflower. Yet, if the hammer is not working, what else can he do?

My first submission to the /firstdraft club!

Using FarCards to FAFO with Farcaster Legos

I'm in the process of writing the January "monthly investor letter" for @firstdraftclub but won't finish by tonight, so here's the /firstdraft for now

Did a speed run of this week's /firstdraft since I just joined yesterday. 

For whatever reason, this is the first thing that came to mind. My dad had a profound impact on my life, from my love of athletics and nature to my decision to not drink.

It's a personal letter, but I feel like sharing it today.
