i love $DEGEN and what it's accomplished for the Farcaster community, but i really wish the native Farcaster token name wasn't "degen"

Agreed on this! Wonder if there’s a way for the community to hold a naming contest. $DEGENs origins of the /degen channel and the memecoin mania that went on in the early days was important, but now that we’re approaching wider scale adoption, a friendlier name might be nice.

There won't be a native token unless Merkel makes one. Competition will only increase

this is one of the primary reasons that it has the value that it does. degen is the word that was pejorative in the bear (for very good reason) and it being worth what it is now is the comeback story.

Honestly I just hate typing it… I never type it right the first time, and then autocorrect doesn’t correct it obviously… can’t wait for a $degen tipping button!

degen is onchain culture Part of it may be degenerate risk-taking and speculation but it’s also about being an early adopter, onchain poweruser, experimenting with new tech and pushing the frontier & limits to new heights. So, I see it as an inclusive for the most degenerate and calculated risk-takers and pioneers.

In 50 years my grand children will come home from school, and they’ll say “guess what we learned?” That’s when they’ll tell me how degen comes from degenerate, an old earth word for the first people to buy new money. I’ll laugh and look nostalgically at my purple top hat nft hologram. Scene
