Our AI agent is coming along

Not only can you ask about people (e.g. before you decide to follow them, X has a specific action for this on profile hover cards) but because Farcaster is closer to crypto - 

It's possible to mix social data with onchain data e.g. "what are my friends trading right now?" and then go and trade those same coins

Reach out if you want to try it, want to get more user feedback

s/o @grin who's been making this come alive

its allliiiiiveeee ⚡🤖⚡

finally going public with what i've been working on at /neynar 

its an AI agent with context on farcaster -- your follows, casts, trades, and soon more. 

still early, but if you missed the sneak peek at farcon now's your chance to take it for a spin

Alon and the pumpfun account getting banned on Twitter is bullish for Farcaster

How many more of these random crypto takedowns have to happen before CT realizes there’s a better way? Wake up anons

there was one day in 2019 or so when youtube banned a ton of crypto channels, and they all came over to LBRY and brought their followers. our DAU practically tripled overnight

moments like these are high-leverage. we didn't take advantage when Brazil banned Twitter. lets not miss the next one

can anyone recommend a good API for getting token prices that includes low-cap Base memecoins?

Reading these stories makes me so grateful for @neynar’s process

Went from DMing @rish to

- intro call
- 2 technical interviews
- culture fit chat
- job offer

in 10 days start to finish.

Total time on calls was ~3 hours. Spent maybe 20min of that writing code (with AI ofc) and the rest was deep technical talk

Btw we’re hiring backend and frontend devs

i dont usually do the big public congrats thing, but @privy earned it. y'all are real ones

functions i never thought id have to write

Who do you talk to when thinking about consumer products? Or struggling with certain concepts?

Chasing Curiosity. People, Nature, Machines. Hakuna Matata, "Its a problem-free philosophy.”

Varun. Very few people have relevant advice these days since no one has built a successful at-scale social network other than TikTok in a decade. Advice gets stale fast.

loved this exchange. Dan is 💯% right

valuable advice is highly contextual

I *have* built a decentralized social network that had 100x the DAU of FC, and i have little specific advice for Dan. I'd need to spend a while ingesting context and thinking and talking to him before I could contribute meaningfully

If I had to name one trait of great long-term investors, it wouldn’t be conviction, it’d be openness.

The ability to absorb new ideas, see them without bias, and imagine how they might reshape the world.

Ironically, the longer you’re in the game, the harder that gets.

You’ve seen so many startups fail, you start saying things like, “Google tried that in 2019,” or “nobody wants that.”

It’s always easy to spot why something might fail.
Much harder to imagine how it might work.

But that’s what buyers do... they buy into possibility.
Every buy pushes price, draws attention, fuels curiosity, attracts partners, builds brand, brings users…

Belief compounds.

And to benefit from that compounding, you have to believe early... before the herd, and before the headlines.

That’s why I like buying things that piss people off.
Anger often hints at innovation. Some old wound is getting poked. Some comfortable assumption is being shattered.

If you’re not buying when the naysayers r loudest...

which psychologists are studying whether openness to new experience correlates with better returns?
