Thought about this quite a bit. While a lot of the current users came and stayed to “make money”, which gives that value prop positive signals in the short term, most people won’t resonate with it. If “decentralized social” is too crypto-coded of a value prop (I agree it is), gambling is even worse. It makes the whole industry look more like an MLM than a technology shift. When I try to onboard my non-crypto friends, the complaint is always that there are too many crypto people and not enough people like them. This is true, but its not because the app is built on crypto. It’s because the early userbase was crypto. It’s a temporary state rather than a permanent one. 1/2

I love Farcaster because I love the people here. Twitter is a superficial popularity contest. I spent a year trying to grow there and there was zero correlation between number of followers and number of friends. Here, there’s a very obvious one. I’ve met coworkers, roommates, and probably lifelong friends on Farcaster. Bring back cozy corners. Focus on an app that genuinely builds connection. I don’t know exactly how to do that but it’s what keeps me coming back. I haven’t made a single penny on tokens here because I have no interest in it. Maybe that puts me in the minority here but I do think it’s the majority stance of people outside of crypto.
