Base & Farcaster both need more counter cultures

Crypto needs *intetnal* counter culture

We have essentially three major cultures as I see it: startup & milady & zealot

Milady = shitcoin traders on sol, rug pullers in discord trenches making memes that Elon retweets

Startup = tech people, VCs, people with real jobs at companies 

Zealots = nerds & ideologues who were here early for strong, intellectual and political reasons. Mission driven, highly technical.

There is plenty of overlap, and lots of retail & alt-chain grifters with no real identity in between. We need space for people who don’t really identify with the stuff we have done, but who are down to use crypto for their own reasons. We need those people & we need big culture wars with them. Would be good to see some fresh juice in the system vibes wise

Artists and art collectors use crypto for their own reasons that have nothing to do with the ideals and ethos of the crypto builders and believers. There are also real-world applications that have nothing to do with DeFi, but only care about the immutable ledger & smart contracts. These don’t feel much like counter-cultures, though. What would a counter-culture look like?
