Posted some thoughts about building around Solana the other day. Only been a week, so I still have a lot to learn about the ecosystem

Farcaster

DeepSeek-R1 shattered the assumption that performant AI models must be built closed source with loss-leading computational costs. This is the reality that Web3 x Crypto firms have been waiting for, leading me to believe that the most performant AI models in the future will be built on-chain.  gm

I'm looking for our fist marketing hire. Experience optional. Only requirement is hustle. ‼️💥

Day in the life:

- You move to SF
- We work side by side (my hours are ~7am - 7pm)
- We send Agora’s growth through the roof 📈

It's gonna be a ton of fun but also very intense.

DM me if this is your cup of tea!

Finally back ⌐◨-◨ felt good to disconnect for a couple weeks and touching more grass than usual. I also turned 35 in the meantime. 

I’m coming back with a lot to share. 

I’ve been thinking a lot about „what does the annual marketing briefing look like for a community shared brand?“

I think that I got to something worth sharing with everyone. 

And then there’s Nouns Town 2025. As well as 1-2 potential satellite events/gatherings.

I’m excited for this year.

3blue1brown getting a fake copyright strike brought me back to farcaster.

Hi Casters. I posted my year end playlist this morning https://avc.xyz/my-year-end-playlist-1

Live the same

Do you know how much $$$ you need to never work again?

I started tracking my expenses at the end of 2021, so finally I have 3-year statistics. This is how much I've spent each year, not including travel:
- 2022 - $8400
- 2023 - $6612
- 2024 - $5876

My lifestyle has gotten more conscious and sustainable throughout the years, explaining the downward trend that contradicts inflation.

Travel cost me either $900 or $2500 a year - depending on the number and intensity of trips. 

So basically if I had $10k a year I would feel very comfortable, with a bit to spare 💜

To get that much in passive income I would need to invest from $100k (10% APY) to $200k (5% APY). Which is what some people earn from a couple of shitcoin trades 😆

And if I want to have kids someday, that amount would probably have to be doubled.

My wish for this year is to start receiving that passive income, hopefully I'll be able to amass enough capital 🙏

How big is that number for you? Or maybe you already live on passive income?

2024 Annual Expenses: $5,876

Lots of ways to live.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

So what are you doing to attract more users?

1. Continue to iterate on and scale opportunities for users to make money — Farcaster native assets, frames, USDC rewards, etc.

2. Continue to work on the the core features of the social network. These features create retention.

3. Additionally, we're scaling the underlying protocol with Snapchain. The current version of Hubs don't scale another 10x.

That's what we are focused on. There are no other priorities at the moment.
